I'll answer you in earnest, because I get why this is not intuitive.
Say you have 20 acres, and you want to split off an acre and sell it to someone else. But you don't want that "someone else" to be... I dunno, a pig farmer. (Because pig farms stink)
You can put a (reasonable, legal) restriction on the deed. "No pigs allowed." So even if someone buys that land, they cannot break that deed restriction and set up a pig farm.
If they do, it's off to court you go, where you will most assuredly win.

That's an interesting question since it's now a constitutional right. Deed restriction have been tossed before on constitutional violations, ( race and religious restrictions)
I'm not sure any litigation at all has been settled over that amendment yet, as it's broad and vague. The only case I've seen is over Sunday hunting.

I've been down that path myself.
Each municipality can have it's own rules, and typically if they don't spell it out, they refer to state code which is incredibly vague.

My brother in law used to be like that. He claimed he “didn’t like organic food”.
Dude, it’s a fucking carrot. If I didn’t tell you it was organic then you’d eat it without complaint.

I lived in Indiana for a good chunk of my youth.
I could not get the fuck out of there fast enough.

Nah Maine has always been and will continue to be my home. Far too invested to turn away now

It's a pretty arbitrary "no right on red" though.

Are people tapping their own maple trees in Maine?

This is that same intersection where there’s something like seven signs saying you can’t turn right on red. Hard to tell the cop you didn’t see the sign.

Follow-up story:
Used to work on an organic farm. My parents came to visit and the farm had a supper/potluck for employees, friends and family. My dad refused to eat anything there and after he left he immediately went to McDonald's.

You should move to Idaho. You're a perfect fit.

Bangor metal people seem cool. I suspect you can meet them at the occasional shows at Queen City Cinema. But I’m from Southern Maine so I don’t really know. Manic Abraxas and Holy Filth are good Bangor metal bands.

I played banjo at a party once and like 4 people asked me if I wanted to play out with them. So i think luck and networking in person at events plays a big part of it, but who knows. It’s harder in Maine than most places, I’m in friendship and so far away from everybody mostly.
