The biggest problem with NH is that particularly south of the notches it is getting too expensive for working people to live to not become impoverished. Housing costs are the biggest problem. Good job, Nick of balancing out the pros and cons of living here.

[@ProjektLament]

Yeah property tax and regulation on real estate are the biggest factors driving people out of the state. You can't keep young people here. I'd rather have a sales tax and do away with continuous property tax than people having to pay $5k a year on a home they already bought.

[@beepboopbeep5456]

There should be a way for older people to exempt themselves from property taxes, but the taxes are low compared to states with many tax streams, because when you have 1 tax you pay attention to it. It's also a tax that is more or less depending on what your local government is doing, which you have more control over than state level taxation. And, everyone pays it, renters, home owners, and businesses.

Biggest problem in all of New England is the cost of living. And the biggest issue after that is jobs. Especially the requirements most jobs have, it’s abhorrent. I’m from New England myself, had to move to the Midwest for better opportunity. New England will alway be home, but man, I wish I could live there and afford it. Wish I could have the job I have here, back home. But it’s impossible.

You did a really nice job with this video, Nick. Anthony and Chase sure know their state well! Also, nice touch with the Heathcliff theme song. I'm glad you mentioned Mount Washington. The train ride to the top is half the fun! I do wish you had said something about the state liquor and wine outlets, as they are one of New Hampshire's quirks. I can't help but agree with you about people from New Hampshire's making a lot of sense politically. Two of my favorite presidential candidates in recent years have been Ron Paul and Tulsi Gabbard--both of whom were very popular in New Hampshire.

NH has the lowest crime rate in the nation but you’d think differently based on your emphasis on its heroin and opioid problem. It’s exaggerated. The drug issues the state faces is seen as a big deal because you wouldn’t think such a nice place would have problems usually seen in inner cities.

Downtown Manchester is full of homeless junkies and is quite unsafe. My kid goes to college downtown and is hassled by people on a regular basis. Someone was murdered in the alley behind her dorm. It is a disgrace and the police do nothing. It is a shame too, because Manchester has the potential to become a great little city.

[@newenglandscrambler2262]

I grew up in New England and have lived in NH for a decade, in multiple regions and cities/towns. This is super accurate overall. I'd add that there are some (small) nice parts of Nashua, but I agree that it's not really a "destination." Also, compared to many other states (and similar to VT), people here aren't very nice and go out of their way to avoid each other for the most part. You definitely don't get into sidewalk chats with random strangers on a regular basis and people keep each other at an arm's length until they have known you for years. It can feel very cold and off-putting if you aren't used to it. Very nice state from April/May through October if you are into outdoors activities, but the bloodsucking insects are no joke. The ticks in particular are an absolute plague.

The White mountains are breathtaking and the Kancamagus Highway is a must do - Best Mountain View’s, trails, river, falls and the location of the Continental Divide (although it gets super busy and mobbed in the fall with a HUGE Indian population (not native) that descend on the HWY at this time. There can be traffic jams - this is somewhat new. Nice people tho. Not trying to be critical just informative. One can find everything in this state - ocean, mountains, farmlands, woods and wildlife.
