Up until very recently, out-of-state, non-resident students could vote? But out-of-state, property owners/tax payers still can not?

How far back do you have to go to be a (good) NH native.
I think Governer John Wentworth an captian John Wolfe came here with a lot of radical ideas and tried to change the area building roads establishing new rules and yes even taxes |

Also Winni has been an out-of-state destination for over 100 years. It has been a haven of wealthy people, who do provide growth and prosperity in the region, but usually only care about their own interests (speed limit change for example). I would say most of your issues are caused by the uber wealthy people in the area (huge lawns, huge boats, high prices, etc...) most of whom happen to be Conservative, so I think you're 'thanking' the wrong ilk of people...but enjoy whatever place that is not the beautiful, clean, well educated, amazing state that is New Hampshire. You do know it was just voted the 2nd best state to live in right? Always at the top of these lists when it comes to 'best places to live in the US'...but you go right on leaving, it will make it just that much nicer...
And what is a 'political believes'

I think what most of us mean is that if you came here because you liked it the way it was, why did you want to change it? The people that came here and want to keep it the way it was are fine with us. But I think now it's a little late, we have changed too much already.

States were supposed to represent the ideals of the majority of its residents and if you do not like them either deal with it or move to a state that most represents those ideals. There is no reason why the country cannot exist with each state being different on many levels but as I said these borders are disappearing and the same can be said for countries borders also. There are those that desire the world be as "one" and I certainly do not agree with that nor should every state be identical. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_State_Project Again showing why New Hampshire is in fact one of the best places to live in the country contrary to what the OP thinks has happened around here to make is so unlivable. I would love to know what the OP's choice of state/location is to move away from here that is so grand... |

Yes we can generally....
But when a troll comes along and hits a nerve all hell seems to break loose..... nitrovandam with his 9 posts seem to fit that mold.... especially with 3 of them in this thread........

But you gotta admit it is far more stimulating conversation when we don't get along so long as conversation remains relatively intellectual.
![]() That said - name calling and having a literal temper tantrum on a forum like this is not exactly stimulating. Thank GOD that some of these responses are entertaining enough to make up for a lackluster start. Far as the original poster goes, ya know there is no place you can move to were you can hide from this. Happening everywhere and for the most part considering it's surrounding neighbors and how screwed up they are NH still remains somewhat of an oasis at least for now. |

Funny, but even if all the signs were missing, I know within 20 seconds that I've crossed the border! (In either direction).

Please find a place where you can get some help, and then recall everything that the lakes region is and what you have elected to give up.

As some of you may recall from a previous post I made about recommended southern NH towns, we will be moving to the Bedford area. Our home in MA is under agreement and we will be on our way late July. It is unfortunate that we will not be welcome in our new hometown and state.
I understand why we are not welcome....we are horrible people. My daughter is an RN at Concord Hospital, where she works long hours caring for the sick and dying, trying to comfort both patients and families. What a vile young woman she is. My son is a cancer survivor and an engineering student in college, where he is working to learn how to design medical devices so that other cancer kids don't have to endure what he did. How self-centered and uncaring he is. We have owned homes in Laconia and now Meredith for more than 20 years, and soon we will be a homeowner in the Bedford area. We have contributed to the local economy and town infrastructures via our mid 5-figure annual property tax bill, employing local services people, making major purchases, going to dinner, and shopping at Walmart and Hannaford, and supporting local charities. It is clear that all we do is "take", and give nothing in return. We are obviously a selfish and uncaring family. Once we get settled in the Bedford area, maybe we can find a shrink or a support group who can help us become better people...who can help us fix our "sh***" attitudes" and help us deal with "never being wanted here". |
