It's a very good place to live, but I disagree with it tending to lean liberal. We are definitely more leaning Conservative

Love the town, nice and friendly ,scenic. Hate that it's becoming over developed and losing space for wildlife. Convenient shopping Too many bars and liquor stores

The hiking trails (more than 30 miles) are great and offer variations from accommodating baby carriages to scrambling over boulders.

I feel safe and comfortable here. The town has everything I need, and I like the neighborhoods. However, I wish there were more diversity.
