Other than just the stuff a geography teacher learns about a state (important stuff but not nearly enough to put into moving somewhere to live) I'd say I would prefer Vermont to New Hampshire. Enlighten me on either/both of those states.

Oh and while I absolutely loved cold weather when I was a kid I don't care for it now, and since the radiation treatments I REALLY don't care for cold weather. My cancer treatment mentor was the same way though way worse. He had the air conditioning vents in his office blocked in June here in SE OK because he couldn't even stand that amount of cool air. Yeah, if I had my way I'd live in FL, either in the Kissimmee area or Winter Garden, or in the Keys. The last one would be my #1 choice but you gotta have Trump level green to buy a decent place down there. Then there are the FL drivers, they are so bad that I had to apologize to TX drivers for sucking so bad at driving.

New Hampshire is pretty turdy. VErmont is cool at times, ****ty at others.

Here's what sucks about NH. Nothing makes sense. Taxes are stupid and regressive. While there's advantages to no sales or payroll taxes. You see massive differences in property taxes, there's a thing called the view tax where if you live in the nicer parts of the state you have to pay a tax for the view. Aka a tax passed by Concord with backing from places like Manchester and Nashua to tax the people who live in other parts of the state. Many of which are old family properties that people are forced to sell because they can't afford. But I digress.

Vermont is cool in parts. Waterbury and Burlington are pretty rad and it's the best or second best beer state in the nation. But Vermont has all kinds of issues with taxes and revenue. They often struggle to keep roads paved, plowed, and salted. When I drove home from NJ I was in Vermont crossing into NH on 93 (major interstate highway, one of only 3 Eisenhower interstates in VT that spurs in 91, the biggest) and in VT no plow went through and the road was sketch, in NH I drove over a dam with no issues.

All states have issues, all states have advantages. Aside from some money advantages, I've not really experienced many advantages in NH.

I think you're right, all states have at least something going for them and no matter how good they might be in some ways they still have other things going against them. I tend to stick by the meme I posted though, not many people retire and move up north, unless they're going to a state way out in the freakin' boonies like Alaska or Montana, an exception I can think of to that would be Seattle or Portland maybe. I also realize everybody doesn't hate cold weather like I've grown to do over the past few years, but I do think it's more of a factor for the average Joe, than you're giving it credit for though. At any rate, to each his own, I wish more of the kamikazee Florida drivers would move up north, the farther the better. :)

New Hampshire is in the middle of a mass Libertarian migration. Its called the FreeStateProject. The idea was to move to a low population state so we can have atleast one state that adheres to Libertarian principles. I expect big things from the state in the next 20-50 years. Would love it if they at some point declared independence but I know thats a pipe dream. I will give my life protecting freedom from the United States if the opportunity arises.

And NH has one of the lowest incarceration rates including drug arrests. Its still illegal in all states until the older generations that grew up on reefer madness government propaganda die off. Those old farts in judicial positions **** all over the constitution by accepting the federal government argument that growing a pot plant in my own home and smoking it myself falls under interstate commerce.

I know about Freestaters, they're just idiots for the most part. Not even libertarians, just typically rich massholes who want to pay less taxes. Which is fine, but it doesn't make new hampshire that free of a state.

NH has a low incarceration because of a few things. But I won't go into that here. Basically, white people.

Trust me, crime is plentiful in NH. I witness someone committing a crime that's semi major on a daily basis. There isn't the police force up here to enforce it. There's a huge opium problem in the state, and no one ever gets arrested because there's no cops. And when cops catch someone doing something illegal it's usually petty enough to be let off.

For example, a coworker of mine went 2 years without getting his car registered or inspected. In NJ I forgot when mine was due and was caught in 8 days. He went 2 years. Think about that.
