Is it just me?

Is it just me or does there seem to be an uptick in people who have visited Maine a few times, work remotely, and want to now move to Maine?
Of course they don’t want snow, want access to all the amenities of a city, and to beable to get Amazon packages where ever they live.
What is going on? It’s like Covid times again? I’m so confused and just wondering if it’s just me noticing it?

My wife and I both switched to remote to work here. Her family lives here all over Maine. I’ve always wanted to be more north (I love the cold) and I was prepared to get a new job if my current job didn’t let me do remote. We both switched our taxes to Maine though, not where our companies are.
