User-submitted facts and corrections:
- Salem is a horrible place to build. Internet(high speed or not) is unreliable here. Residents are over taxed and yet the town provides no social functions or anything with all the tax money they get. They give residents & business hard times about making their businesses look better. The town assessors office also likes to over appraise property and taxable content quite a bit. Electric costs are very high here as well.
