The comment was not intended to dredge up that old Jim Morrison saw "the West is the best."

It was merely a statement of perceived fact.

Laconia is withering on the vine; the old jobs dried up and blew out of town long ago.

Where is an unskilled worker going to find a job which pays sufficiently to allow him / her to earn enough money to afford to buy a home and to seek a slice of the good life?

Not in the Lakes Region.

It seems to be almost third-worldish: Haves and Have Nots.

The lakefront is occupied by the well off and the wealthy, and well, most everyone else seems to be just getting by.

Absent: a thriving working class, and good paying employment for them.

If you come with money, great.

Otherwise, it will be tough.
