The issue isn’t just affordability—it’s availability. That’s one of the biggest takeaways from this podcast conversation about housing in Bath and across Midcoast Maine.

We’re seeing a growing disconnect:
• Young professionals can’t find entry-level housing
• Families are competing for limited homes
• Longtime residents want to downsize—but have nowhere to go
When people can’t move, the entire system backs up. And in a region anchored by employers like Bath Iron Works, Bowdoin College, and L.L.Bean, that pressure is real—and growing. In this conversation with Matt Pouliot, we explore:
• Why “affordable housing” doesn’t tell the full story
• The hidden impact of downsizing (or the lack of it)
• Why building more housing alone won’t solve the problem
• A more complete approach: development, preservation, support, and policy
• How small interventions—like helping people stay in their homes—can make a big difference
Housing is one of the most complex challenges facing our communities—but also one of the most important.
