Yea it sucks here.
Be nice to be renting a nice place in NH along with a good job there...

I always find it amazing crossing the state line on 95 or 93 from MA into NH.
you instantly go from potholes, bad pavement, knee high grass, litter, rusting and decaying bridges, bent damaged guardrails into.....something like a completely different world.
Nicely mowed grass, no litter, perfectly paved highway, wonderful modern rust free bridges and guardrails....
All from a state economy with no income or sales tax.
It’s amazing...

NH also has a state assembly where you earn the incredibly high annual wage of $1/per year + mileage. How much do the state reps in Mass make? How much do they make in retirement? Ask Billy Bulger.

That is the problem of all the liberal states. NY, NJ, IL, MA, CT, RI all have these retired state employees collecting pensions for 30+ years in retirement. Then they all move south to SC & Fl.

It is amazing. Limited sources of income to the state government result in a frugal, efficient, and limited state government. High property taxes fund local government and schools, but the direct relationship between expenses and your tax bill helps keep spending in check, and citizens involved in their local government.

The biggest problem in New Hampshire is liberals from other states who come here to escape Massachusetts, or New York, or Connecticut and promptly start agitating for exactly the same kinds of policies that created the messes they left.
