“Well, it’s cold in the dead of winter, but all week here it’s been in the 50s during the day. It’s not as bad as people think, but I’m used to it. I’ve been in the northeast all my life. Central NH is a rural & stable area. Very little crime & no immigrants. So the Walmarts, and for that matter most any other store is safe & clean.”
I’ve been to Vermont and NH is on my to do list. Just not until June lol.
The country is beautiful and all the people I met were the tops. Same can be said for rural NY state.
Yes....lot’s of great people in northern New England & upper NY. Not a lot of good jobs up this way, a bit difficult to make a living, but it’s still a nice lifestyle. I live in Mass, but I’m going to retire up here in central NH when the time comes. This part of the country still looks like the areas I grew up in back in the 70s. Best thing is there is no traffic in the off-season & yet I’m still just 2 hours to Boston if I need to get down there quick.

As leftist as Vermont is (the entire state), if you can put up with the attitudes, and afford the cost of real estate, it’s going to be one of the best places to be (in terms of “survivability”) when the urban/suburban areas crash and fall apart. Vermont is perhaps the most “un-diverse” state in the country, if you get my drift...
Although folks ‘way up in the Northeast Kingdom probably still have the old New England conservative streak in ‘em. Still folks like that scattered around the state. For now, that is...
