Southern Maine here,
The native population isn't really changing much. Many younger folks are choosing not to have children because they can't afford it- but then there's the welfare junkies popping out enough units to compensate.
The total population is exploding, though- I feel like half the population of Somalia has moved here in the last 20 years. Not a single school can keep up with the student growth rate. Even when I was in school all those years ago, half of my classes were in what they called "portables" - they were like trailer homes, but classrooms. I can only imagine what it looks like now.

I hear about low birth rates and the need to import people to feed the country.
But it seems most places I go, the population is growing too fast.
Traffic has increased, schools no longer have classrooms Available and are Brining in trailer park portable ones.
They are building on any open land they can find.
Is this just in NY?
Or Are people all over the world seeing an increase or decrease in population size in their home towns?

One of my favorite things to say is "You couldn't pay me enough to live North of I-20 ever again."
We're way out, just North of Godley now.
