“Mass transplants”
Aren’t they usually called Massholes?
We don’t usually refer to ourselves that way.
But…yeah, that’s it.
Correct, they are called “Massholes”.
However, many of the people that move from Mass to NH do it because they are so sick of the MA politics and feeling like they are not being represented in their state. There are conservatives that live in MA. They tend to be more Libertarian than Born Again Christian Right.
These people move to NH to live because they want a better quality of life that NH affords. Many of them still end up working in MA. So, they pay MA income taxes and NH property taxes. These people tend to be more conservative. These are the guys running around in an F150 with a Patriots and Bruins sticker on the back.
The people who want to change NH are the rich liberals who retire from CT, NY, MA, NJ, RI to their lake house in central NH. Then they want to change NH because their property tax is very high on lakefront property.
The main concentration of Dems in NH is in the college towns:
Durham(UNH), Keene(Keene State), Plymouth(Plymouth State), Hanover(Dartmouth) and the towns surrounding them.
Southern NHU is the largest college by enrollment but it is primarily an online enrollment.
The other concentration of Dems is in Concord where there is a large percentage of state government employees.
