As I’m living in Louisiana but was in New Hampshire this past summer on vacation, I’d say New Hampshire was a paradise! Beautiful woods, temperatures more relaxing and the bugs were not near as bad as Louisiana.

If I were to win the lottery, I’d move to New Hampshire in a heartbeat with a simple home to live out my days in peace!
This will be one of the safest areas from climate change. When the world starts overheating and the droughts not to mention massive storms you will be completely safe here. Get up early and beat the traffic. No sales taxes at all everyone =comes to shop here. IF you were going to move here you should have done it a few years ago. At the end of the day, we will be safer here than almost anywhere else in the country.! Climate change will rip apart our Country but Maine NH & Vermont will be the safest refuge in the lower 48

I have been here in NH for about five months now. You are right about everything. I don't mind having a vacation home here due to beautiful views in the fall, but not to move.
I'll give you one reason not to move here we do not need any more people here we're fine just the way we are in fact we could probably export a few that should have never come here in the first place
Bugs...HA!!! I lived in the bayous of Louisiana. You'd be walking along, see a sudden eclipse of the sun and the next thing you knew your friend bob was a shriveled husk, fluttering to the ground like a crumpled leaf. We never used bug spray for mosquito's. You'd hear the hum of a jumbo jet, pull out a 12 gauge and pray for daylight! Your "bugs" make me laugh!
Cody's comment on the property tax is a bit misleading, we have high property tax but we have very low taxes because we don't have a high overall tax burden-look it up you'll see NH has a very low over all tax burden. It's a beautiful state and we mean it when we say Live Free or Die, most aren't big fans of big government -and that's a good thing. :-)
No, Cody was very specific about the taxes here in NH and the double whammy if you live here and work in MA. That is something my wife and I have had to deal with almost all of our adult lives. The problem when looking at "tax burden" data, taxes paid outside of the state are not considered.
We came from Arizona and lived in Derry for a year. It didn’t suck honestly. Of course we were there during the start of Covid and didn’t get to really investigate the state as we hoped. I can tell you it is expensive, but that’s just New England in general. If what this gentleman tells you doesn’t matter and you love nature, strange bugs, snow, and the slow life - go for it!
I live on the coast of New Hampshire and thought I would stay in my home for the remainder of my life. The trouble is that so many people are moving here and changing the state to a place like Massachusetts. I like simple living and prefer my neighbors have wings or four legs. Looks like I'll be heading north with the hopes of having what I always thought New Hampshire should be without the influences of southern states. I'm just not sure if that is even a realistic thought anymore.
I love NH ! Snow and sking is great here, summers and hiking in these beautiful mountains with world class hiking trails is just the best in the world!
the bugs are not bad here try living down south, the winter may be cold but its not dark and we have only had a few snow storms this year, as for food their are tons of different restaurant's, i live in a tiny town we have authentic Greek, Ukrainian, Chinese, and a Tibetan restaurant, traffic is not bad just don't take 93 from Manchester to concord Thursday or Friday during rush hour during the summer, weather is amazing i lived down south and new Hampshire is not hot and humid at the same time, its either hot or its cooler but very humid but most of the time its high 70s low 80s and nice. taxes for property are high but you don't have sales tax. i love NH and everyone i know who has moved away has always come back.
To be fair, this guy lives in Manchester, which is considered to be the armpit of NH. Even so, it has a lot of plusses. I'm an NH native and also lived in Cali for 20 years, I lived in Manchester for two, not where I'd like to live for long, but it has the benefits of a small city without the hassle of traffic and no parking. All states have pros and cons. Do we have a drug problem? Yes, we do. It's an epidemic that is being addressed and there are some great resources here for those that need it, although navigating the system can be a challenge just like anywhere else in the country. Don't like mosquitos? Wear bug spray and don't stand around outside at dusk. Don't like ticks? Pull your socks up over your pant legs and stay on the trail, don't crawl through the leaves. Then check your body when you get home. I love NH for so many reasons, great place to raise kids (not in Manchester), awesome hiking, wildlife, lakes galore, beaches, mountains, skiing, boarding, etc. close enough to Boston for big concerts and museums, excellent food and shopping. In NH, Manchester has the Currier Museum which is top notch. Manchester has some great restaurants, not full of fast food like this guys says, he's driving down the wrong road if that's what he sees as his choices. Go downtown buddy! Manchester also has a great little airport, FYI. But NH is soooo much more than Manchester. Concord is great for good food, a class act theater and great indie book store, and Portsmouth is a fantastic town. It's the best of NH: live music, good food, great shops. Concord, Portsmouth, Exeter, all have great hospitals. Exeter is steeped in history and is truly your quintessential picturesque town, with one of the best private high schools in the country, and a fine public high school. The schools here are among the best in the nation. You want four seasons? Like fresh air? Open spaces? No sales tax, no income tax. I love it here. Maybe this guy needs to move on.

You forgot to mention the world's best lobster, no sales tax, no state income tax, no gun registration, no motorcycle helmet law, no seat belt law ,radar detectors are legal, car insurance is not mandatory, and the state supreme court ruled that you can cover up the "Live Free or Die" motto on your license plate if you don't agree with it. Try that in any other state!
You forgot to mention low wages, rediculously high property taxes, yearly auto registration fees are awful, and state auto inspections leave you at the mercy of the good old boy network
@@brojoe3909 Half of NH is "Masshole" and if it weren't for "Massholes" shopping and vacationing in NH, NH would be a depressed, third-world state like Mississippi or Alabama with snow roaches. Also, many NH residents work in Mass. There is a symbiotic relationship whether you like it or not.
In New Hampshire there are no summers, when the temperature does finally warm up a little, then it rains almost everyday, usually all day. In the middle of October your back to snow. It's a pretty depressing place to live.
I was a Vermonter for 31 years before I came to New Hampshire. I’m way way way happier in NH. Jobs, police response, and No milfoil in the water in the lakes.
I don't understand why these lists always bring up the same things: cold winters, no nightlife, no extensive public transport, no wide array of restaurants. Like we're looking at a rural little state in the north, and are people surprised that it's cold and rural? :D
The biggest aspect of living NH that you didn't mention is the vast difference between living in an urban area than in a rural area. Rural areas have volunteer fire depts., police that go home at 9PM, wells and septic systems instead of municipal water and sewer, rural mail carriers, having to bring your trash to the dump, having to drive several miles to get groceries, gas, post office, etc, etc., etc. If you're thinking of moving to any rural area from an urban area, make sure that you can accept these differences. Especially with house prices nowa days. We're over the peak and heading into a downtrend. It's a cycle that occurs about every 15 years or so, as long as I can remember. So don't count on being able to just sell your house and move back. Aint that easy. Believe me!
Well, I live close to Portsmouth, and yes you can go a few miles for groceries. But go a few miles in any direction and find a major store, and you can find milk and bread at an inconvenience store. They are tending to close earlier than they used to. Even DD doesn't stay open.
And lets not forget that if you move to one of the rural areas that people have livestock and farms. Don't move to a rural part of the state and then bitch about the farm animals. Had a Boston couple move into the house next door to our farm a while back. They called the cops on us 37 times in a month because our rooster had the audacity to crow. They knew we had livestock before buying the place. They knew that other people on the road had livestock. All these people have done is call the cops and be miserable jerks since they moved in. It's horrible. They even called 911 and said I was murdering someone because one of my baby goats was crying as I was 20 minutes late feeding them. Nothing quite like having your house surrounded by the local cops and the state troopers, all with guns drawn, because your neighbor is a dick.
@@pixystixnfairycrack I absolutely agree. Which is why rural towns should require a notice to urbanites who are moving in. Just sort of a friendly fyi. Then again, unfortunately it's all about the $$$ nowadays 😞
Good accurate reasons. The state population does thin out North of Laconia and become few and far between North of Franconia. Bring your own income. Learn to love LL Bean Outlet stores.
Lived in New Hampshire for 4 years for a job beautiful state winners are just brutal in parts of it. Lot of people rave on the no sales tax no state income tax but they get you in so many other ways it all balances out, nothing's free. They lead every newscast with how many heroin overdoses and deaths were on that day.
All this is absolutely true including lame restaurants, biting black flies in summer, poor roads, and the worst and rudest drivers I've ever seen. In NH anything goes. It's very likely that your neighbor will turn his property in a junkyard and there's nothing you can do about it. Finally, massholes are moving here in droves since covid allows people to work from home and they're bringing their failed ideologies with them.
I don't know what it's like now but we had three homes consecutively from 1968 to 1994 in Wolfeboro, NH I was 8 in 1968 now I'm 62. Have an issue with Massachusetts resident's. Guess what we're originally from Rye, NY and I live in Chelsea, Manhattan. Egads! Lay off the drama, snowflake. Life can be unfair not knowing when there is a crisis or issue ideologies or not. It's better than being a Trump Automaton Supporter Drone expecting a wall where everything is a conspiracy while being involved in the Teeny Weenie Wiener/PMS Rabid Rampage Riot. I was told referring to it as the Insurrection invalidated my comment so now I call it this. They can grab their tiki tourches and ransack Barbie's Winnebago because of their ideologies..

Why would a real estate agent tell people NOT to move to New Hampshire....? All states have good and bad things about them. Maybe its better to say the pros and cons. Yes property tax and housing is expensive but there's great things about New Hampshire. You don't have to pay sales tax, there's no state income tax, you don't have to buy car insurance if you don't want too or outrageous taxes just to drive a car each year like Rhode Island. Manchester is a crap hole. I lived there for 9 years and went to high school there and its gotten worse with opioid addiction. However, it is a very diverse city. I would have never learned about other countries and other cultures had I not lived in Manchester compared to small towns. I would suggest people not to move to Manchester in general because of the drug crisis. The opioid problem has gotten bad here, from a state that never had serious drug problems but its not as bad as other states. All of the U.S is having a opioid problem. New Hampshire was never prepared with rehab centers it would need to combat this issue and still isn't. Smaller towns, you will see less of an opioid problem compared to Manchester. Traffic would honestly be the least problem in New Hampshire, there's not as much open roads as many larger states that have the land... but literally from top to bottom of New Hampshire can be driven in 3 hours. I love New Hampshire. Born and raised here and I can't think of ever leaving here.
My mom was raised in Wolfeboro, and we spent many summer vacations at my uncle's camp growing up. I feel blessed to have been entrusted with land that's been part of our family for over 100 years. Our favorite place to eat in town is the Back Bay Boat House, the spinach and artichoke dip is amazing! The Yum Yum Shop is always a must when we're there and having ice cream while sitting at the town dock is one of our favorite things to do. The concerts at the gazabo are a bonus during the summer. If you like to grill the Mill Street Meat Market is an absolute must.
I have lived in NEW HAMPSHIRE AND I JUST LOVE IT ! IS A BEAUTIFUL STATE ! AND GOOD PLACE TO WORK ! GOOD EDUCATION AND ALSO IS A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE COMPARE TOO A LOT OF MANY PLACES IN THIS WORLD
Exactly right. I have it made here now with a controlled rent condo. It will be an easy street for me for the remainder of my life and it would be hard-pressed to find the kind of housing I did for 30% of your income. That is locked in now for the remainder of my life. I paid high rent for years and years but still loved it here and worked hard for 30 years. Tried Florida. I love Florida but was never content there year round.
Also, imagine not moving somewhere because of mosquitos and ticks...who does that? “We were going to move to New Hampshire but they have ticks, so I turned down a six-figure income job”...said nobody ever
As a Libertarian who currently resides in NH, I honestly can’t recommend moving here because being the first in the primaries, politics are a frequent topic of conversation. Opinions that aren’t Conservative are a red flag... 🚩
Interesting video and thanks for posting. All valid reasons presented but I think perspectives will vary based upon a person’s life stage and what they are looking for. From what I can see (and have experienced in NH) is that it is superior (IMHO) to lower New York where cost of living, crime, congestion, etc. has made living here unbearable. But thank you for your perspective, it’s always nice to see varying opinions that you can take into consideration when contemplating a move,
In all fairness I'm originally from Rye, New York. I commuted to Grand Central Terminal over a 30 year period. I've been a Chelsea, Manhattan resident since 2004. My block once vacant, deserted and dangerous then is now all art galleries. While the cost of living may be high we make more as the amenities such as dining, theater, museums etc are worth it. I was on the subway last night at 2:00 am and nothing was happening. I can't imaging living anywhere else as those of use who love our dirty, crime infested, rat farm city (my sarcasm) with all it has to offer. Because whenever I'm out during the day all I see are other people going about their daily business. With that said, we vacationed in Wolfeboro from 1968 to 1994 in what is known as Port Wedlen purchased by an Uncle Mike LaMedica, I learned how to water and snow ski. SkiDoo and ice fish. I miss Wolfeboro to this day but I'd rather live here.
NH is a very simple place. Quiet, peaceful, nothing crazy happens here. We aren’t really even known for any specific kind of food, culture, traditions, accents, or anything. 99% of the people are just regular white folks, don’t even have many Italians or Jews. Not much traffic, some nice nature to look at. If you want a quiet peaceful life, it’s a nice place to be. The winters are pretty god damn long and brutal though, be prepared to not want to go outside much for 6 months a year. And bring your snow shovel
The mosquitos suck, for sure but the black flies..... 😫 Citronella candles/bracelets and bug spray! Winter is also VERY dry, where Summer is muggy, buggy and humid. And in the winter time, spiders and rodents come INDOORS to get out of the cold. Personally, I love Spring and Summer. Fall is absolutely beautiful, but it doesn't last long. It gets the colorful foliage dies quickly and the weather gets cold FAST.
Hire a pest control service. Yes, but ALL of the east coast is humid, the south much worse. The west is dry heat, hot as an oven (unless you can afford to live near the beach). No place is perfect.
As someone who grew up in New Hampshire in poverty this is 100% facts. You cannot live here without a car. It's honestly amazing I even survived. It's a police state because they don't get tax money. As a teenager trying to survive, I drove without a license so I could keep working. I was pulled over 4 times for driving without a license, no other changes. Cost me a few thousand dollars. But that's the cost of living here.
Shhh, we moved to NH in 1986. Don't tell everyone to move here, we love it just the way it is. We can't see our neighbor's houses from ours. Our most pesky neighbor is the bear who destroyed my bird feeder last year. Or maybe it's the bobcat who calmly walked across the yard one morning carrying a squirrel in it's mouth. Random visitors are foxes and deer and daily there's a group of 14 wild turkeys who tell me off if I'm late with their breakfast treat each morning. Nope, you definitely do not want to live here. 😊😊
As children my parents vacations in Wolfeboro New Hampshire from 1968 to 1994 we had a summer house on Winter harbor on Lake Winnipesaukee to this day Wolfeboro has no traffic lights and cars stop for pedestrians
100% Agree!. Lived here my whole life (42 yrs) and both my parents grew up here. Major decline in my area. Also I forgot a lot of the people are just mean. No sense of community. This state is beautiful but it's the people that make me want to leave.... Obviously not ALL but the majority. .... 😉🤘
Where are you? The folks in places like Farmington and Pelham are very nice, but you're 100% right. The new folks moving in around the seacoast (Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, Durham, etc) are rude to everybody, including the elderly.
My feedback about the video: 1) Weather, yes it can get very cold and be dark but only depends what part of NH. There are other states down South that are much more humid than NH. Fall is beautiful. 2) If you are a veteran, it can be cheaper 3) transportation, driving could be expected. 4) homes can be expensive 5) depends where you go it can get busy for a late bar 6) drugs like any other city in the country it can be bad. Manchester can be crazy 7) wages are higher than MA for sure. 8) traffic, I disagree, it is not as bad as what it made it seem in the video. I am from NY so it is nothing compared to the city. New Hampshire, depends on the city it can have an amazing selection for Latino food. 9) there can be a lot of mosquitoes. Wooded area like any other place can get bad when it comes to insects. Always remember to wear white shocks when hiking.
Winters - that's why I moved to NH to ski. Fall & winter are the best. Spring & summer = mud & bugs, but that's time to split wood. Taxes - no income or sales tax & property taxes depend on the town, mine are cheap. Utilities - don't need A/C in the mountains & see splitting wood above for heat. Food, nightlife & transportation - nonexistent. Cost to build a home - expensive. Traffic - what traffic? I moved from Miami, FL.
We have night life in the woods around a fire not the bar. We dont have traffic. Great food esp Seafood. No vegans we hunt. Ticks are bad. yeah mosquitoes suck. Live free or die.
Don't move to Berlin New Hampshire if you do not like drug problems or bad School District you don't have to worry about that issue much in North Conway
Don't forget the prison there that has way more addicts being released on parole than inmates that actually deserve parole. Because of an overpopulation issue.
It ranked #1 for quality of life out of all 50 states based on unemployment, crime, weather etc. So, yeah. Just stay away from Manchester,Nashua & Salem
I lived in Salem for a year. The people are nasty, it's expensive, winters are harsh. The teachers at Woodbury are terrible (always screaming and yelling at the kids). Never again.

The thing I think I would tell people is it is _NOT_ a libertarian paradise. We’re fairly liberal on guns and taxes. But the state is ultimately Democrats who like Guns. It more often than not goes blue. It’s not Texas.
@@venom17a "No old cars"? What you mean is our vehicles hv to pass inspection, for public safety. My truck, a daily driver, is 30 yrs old.

NH is a great place to live! Cost of living is lower, taxes are very much lower allthough people will tell you the property ta is high and it is but if you compare to the rest of New England, taxes have gone way up so the issue of high property taxes are high. No income tax, no sales tax helps to bring down the cost of living. It's cleaner than MA and RI. Very small part time government. Legal carry. Sadly it is a swing state and goes Dem but the people in NH understand that the most power in government is local government. The legislators are paid $100 a year whether they want in or not. No state vehicles, reps are paid based on miles and ONLY to and from home to Concord. Its great place to move to and live! I lived there for over 20 years...moved from RI.

Wow! So I take it people there are not so friendly.?
I think that this video was actually trying to turn people away from thinking about living in this beautiful state.
Bugs...HA!!! I lived in the bayous of Louisiana. You'd be walking along, see a sudden eclipse of the sun and the next thing you knew your friend bob was a shriveled husk, fluttering to the ground like a crumpled leaf. We never used bug spray for mosquito's. You'd hear the hum of a jumbo jet, pull out a 12 gauge and pray for daylight! Your "bugs" make me laugh!
😅🤣😅 Exactly how I felt about Texas. I still miss all our friends but not the bugs, heat, humidity and everlasting flatness.
Cody's comment on the property tax is a bit misleading, we have high property tax but we have very low taxes because we don't have a high overall tax burden-look it up you'll see NH has a very low over all tax burden. It's a beautiful state and we mean it when we say Live Free or Die, most aren't big fans of big government -and that's a good thing. :-)
No, Cody was very specific about the taxes here in NH and the double whammy if you live here and work in MA. That is something my wife and I have had to deal with almost all of our adult lives. The problem when looking at "tax burden" data, taxes paid outside of the state are not considered.
You forget to mention high insurance rates, utility bills like electric and heating which can cost you an additional 2k-10k a year and low wages.

We came from Arizona and lived in Derry for a year. It didn’t suck honestly. Of course we were there during the start of Covid and didn’t get to really investigate the state as we hoped.

Hello Catherine how are you doing today.

Hello Linda how are you doing today.
I live on the coast of New Hampshire and thought I would stay in my home for the remainder of my life. The trouble is that so many people are moving here and changing the state to a place like Massachusetts. I like simple living and prefer my neighbors have wings or four legs. Looks like I'll be heading north with the hopes of having what I always thought New Hampshire should be without the influences of southern states. I'm just not sure if that is even a realistic thought anymore.
We are further north and love the lack of people.
@Kerry Lewis: So true. I left MA for NH, & winters are worse, but better than going back to "woke" MA, altho that type is here, too. ☹️
@@judil3294 Friends of mine from the Concord area just moved further north, to Whitefield, they love it.
I love NH ! Snow and sking is great here, summers and hiking in these beautiful mountains with world class hiking trails is just the best in the world!
the bugs are not bad here try living down south, the winter may be cold but its not dark and we have only had a few snow storms this year, as for food their are tons of different restaurant's, i live in a tiny town we have authentic Greek, Ukrainian, Chinese, and a Tibetan restaurant, traffic is not bad just don't take 93 from Manchester to concord Thursday or Friday during rush hour during the summer, weather is amazing i lived down south and new Hampshire is not hot and humid at the same time, its either hot or its cooler but very humid but most of the time its high 70s low 80s and nice. taxes for property are high but you don't have sales tax. i love NH and everyone i know who has moved away has always come back.
To be fair, this guy lives in Manchester, which is considered to be the armpit of NH. Even so, it has a lot of plusses. I'm an NH native and also lived in Cali for 20 years, I lived in Manchester for two, not where I'd like to live for long, but it has the benefits of a small city without the hassle of traffic and no parking. All states have pros and cons. Do we have a drug problem? Yes, we do. It's an epidemic that is being addressed and there are some great resources here for those that need it, although navigating the system can be a challenge just like anywhere else in the country. Don't like mosquitos? Wear bug spray and don't stand around outside at dusk. Don't like ticks? Pull your socks up over your pant legs and stay on the trail, don't crawl through the leaves. Then check your body when you get home. I love NH for so many reasons, great place to raise kids (not in Manchester), awesome hiking, wildlife, lakes galore, beaches, mountains, skiing, boarding, etc. close enough to Boston for big concerts and museums, excellent food and shopping. In NH, Manchester has the Currier Museum which is top notch. Manchester has some great restaurants, not full of fast food like this guys says, he's driving down the wrong road if that's what he sees as his choices. Go downtown buddy! Manchester also has a great little airport, FYI. But NH is soooo much more than Manchester. Concord is great for good food, a class act theater and great indie book store, and Portsmouth is a fantastic town. It's the best of NH: live music, good food, great shops. Concord, Portsmouth, Exeter, all have great hospitals. Exeter is steeped in history and is truly your quintessential picturesque town, with one of the best private high schools in the country, and a fine public high school. The schools here are among the best in the nation. You want four seasons? Like fresh air? Open spaces? No sales tax, no income tax. I love it here. Maybe this guy needs to move on.

You forgot to mention the world's best lobster, no sales tax, no state income tax, no gun registration, no motorcycle helmet law, no seat belt law ,radar detectors are legal, car insurance is not mandatory, and the state supreme court ruled that you can cover up the "Live Free or Die" motto on your license plate if you don't agree with it. Try that in any other state!

@@brojoe3909 Half of NH is "Masshole" and if it weren't for "Massholes" shopping and vacationing in NH, NH would be a depressed, third-world state like Mississippi or Alabama with snow roaches. Also, many NH residents work in Mass. There is a symbiotic relationship whether you like it or not.
There's nothing like walking on any of the beaches from Seabrook to Rye in the winter. Peaceful bliss!
I agree with you Bro ‘ Joe
In New Hampshire there are no summers, when the temperature does finally warm up a little, then it rains almost everyday, usually all day. In the middle of October your back to snow. It's a pretty depressing place to live.

@@laurie7117 He saying it sarcastically so they know more people come there😂
Agree, stay where you are, esp if you're bringing your blue-state voting habits w/ you.
I was a Vermonter for 31 years before I came to New Hampshire. I’m way way way happier in NH. Jobs, police response, and No milfoil in the water in the lakes.
I don't understand why these lists always bring up the same things: cold winters, no nightlife, no extensive public transport, no wide array of restaurants. Like we're looking at a rural little state in the north, and are people surprised that it's cold and rural? :D
The biggest aspect of living NH that you didn't mention is the vast difference between living in an urban area than in a rural area. Rural areas have volunteer fire depts., police that go home at 9PM, wells and septic systems instead of municipal water and sewer, rural mail carriers, having to bring your trash to the dump, having to drive several miles to get groceries, gas, post office, etc, etc., etc.
If you're thinking of moving to any rural area from an urban area, make sure that you can accept these differences. Especially with house prices nowa days. We're over the peak and heading into a downtrend. It's a cycle that occurs about every 15 years or so, as long as I can remember. So don't count on being able to just sell your house and move back. Aint that easy. Believe me!
Well, I live close to Portsmouth, and yes you can go a few miles for groceries. But go a few miles in any direction and find a major store, and you can find milk and bread at an inconvenience store. They are tending to close earlier than they used to. Even DD doesn't stay open.
@Frank Jones: That's the case in ANY state, not specific to NH. You hv to decide, city convenience vs. quiet country life. NH is 80% forested. ❤
And lets not forget that if you move to one of the rural areas that people have livestock and farms. Don't move to a rural part of the state and then bitch about the farm animals. Had a Boston couple move into the house next door to our farm a while back. They called the cops on us 37 times in a month because our rooster had the audacity to crow. They knew we had livestock before buying the place. They knew that other people on the road had livestock. All these people have done is call the cops and be miserable jerks since they moved in. It's horrible. They even called 911 and said I was murdering someone because one of my baby goats was crying as I was 20 minutes late feeding them.
Nothing quite like having your house surrounded by the local cops and the state troopers, all with guns drawn, because your neighbor is a dick.
@@suraya1224 agreed!
@@pixystixnfairycrack I absolutely agree. Which is why rural towns should require a notice to urbanites who are moving in. Just sort of a friendly fyi. Then again, unfortunately it's all about the $$$ nowadays 😞
Good accurate reasons. The state population does thin out North of Laconia and become few and far between North of Franconia. Bring your own income. Learn to love LL Bean Outlet stores.
There’s no money up here in coos county I moved up from ma and I love it here but it’s tough making a living without connections
Lived in New Hampshire for 4 years for a job beautiful state winners are just brutal in parts of it.
Lot of people rave on the no sales tax no state income tax but they get you in so many other ways it all balances out, nothing's free.
They lead every newscast with how many heroin overdoses and deaths were on that day.
All this is absolutely true including lame restaurants, biting black flies in summer, poor roads, and the worst and rudest drivers I've ever seen. In NH anything goes. It's very likely that your neighbor will turn his property in a junkyard and there's nothing you can do about it. Finally, massholes are moving here in droves since covid allows people to work from home and they're bringing their failed ideologies with them.
I don't know what it's like now but we had three homes consecutively from 1968 to 1994 in Wolfeboro, NH I was 8 in 1968 now I'm 62. Have an issue with Massachusetts resident's. Guess what we're originally from Rye, NY and I live in Chelsea, Manhattan. Egads!
Lay off the drama, snowflake. Life can be unfair not knowing when there is a crisis or issue ideologies or not.

Why would a real estate agent tell people NOT to move to New Hampshire....? All states have good and bad things about them. Maybe its better to say the pros and cons. Yes property tax and housing is expensive but there's great things about New Hampshire. You don't have to pay sales tax, there's no state income tax, you don't have to buy car insurance if you don't want too or outrageous taxes just to drive a car each year like Rhode Island. Manchester is a crap hole. I lived there for 9 years and went to high school there and its gotten worse with opioid addiction. However, it is a very diverse city. I would have never learned about other countries and other cultures had I not lived in Manchester compared to small towns. I would suggest people not to move to Manchester in general because of the drug crisis. The opioid problem has gotten bad here, from a state that never had serious drug problems but its not as bad as other states. All of the U.S is having a opioid problem. New Hampshire was never prepared with rehab centers it would need to combat this issue and still isn't. Smaller towns, you will see less of an opioid problem compared to Manchester. Traffic would honestly be the least problem in New Hampshire, there's not as much open roads as many larger states that have the land... but literally from top to bottom of New Hampshire can be driven in 3 hours. I love New Hampshire. Born and raised here and I can't think of ever leaving here.
My mom was raised in Wolfeboro, and we spent many summer vacations at my uncle's camp growing up. I feel blessed to have been entrusted with land that's been part of our family for over 100 years. Our favorite place to eat in town is the Back Bay Boat House, the spinach and artichoke dip is amazing! The Yum Yum Shop is always a must when we're there and having ice cream while sitting at the town dock is one of our favorite things to do. The concerts at the gazabo are a bonus during the summer. If you like to grill the Mill Street Meat Market is an absolute must.
Thanks for your honesty.
My pleasure!

Exactly right. I have it made here now with a controlled rent condo. It will be an easy street for me for the remainder of my life and it would be hard-pressed to find the kind of housing I did for 30% of your income.

Interesting video and thanks for posting. All valid reasons presented but I think perspectives will vary based upon a person’s life stage and what they are looking for. From what I can see (and have experienced in NH) is that it is superior (IMHO) to lower New York where cost of living, crime, congestion, etc. has made living here unbearable. But thank you for your perspective, it’s always nice to see varying opinions that you can take into consideration when contemplating a move,
In all fairness I'm originally from Rye, New York. I commuted to Grand Central Terminal over a 30 year period. I've been a Chelsea, Manhattan resident since 2004. My block once vacant, deserted and dangerous then is now all art galleries. While the cost of living may be high we make more as the amenities such as dining, theater, museums etc are worth it. I was on the subway last night at 2:00 am and nothing was happening. I can't imaging living anywhere else as those of use who love our dirty, crime infested, rat farm city (my sarcasm) with all it has to offer. Because whenever I'm out during the day all I see are other people going about their daily business.
With that said, we vacationed in Wolfeboro from 1968 to 1994 in what is known as Port Wedlen purchased by an Uncle Mike LaMedica, I learned how to water and snow ski. SkiDoo and ice fish. I miss Wolfeboro to this day but I'd rather live here.
Moved from Dover to Albuquerque about 18 years ago, its 58 degrees and sunny. My first electric bill was $20.
Breaking Bad, haha. What's it like in July? Got scorpions?

I moved here from NC. I prefer the cooler weather.
NH is a very simple place. Quiet, peaceful, nothing crazy happens here. We aren’t really even known for any specific kind of food, culture, traditions, accents, or anything. 99% of the people are just regular white folks, don’t even have many Italians or Jews. Not much traffic, some nice nature to look at. If you want a quiet peaceful life, it’s a nice place to be. The winters are pretty god damn long and brutal though, be prepared to not want to go outside much for 6 months a year. And bring your snow shovel
WHAT IS A VEGAN?
The mosquitos suck, for sure but the black flies..... 😫 Citronella candles/bracelets and bug spray!
Winter is also VERY dry, where Summer is muggy, buggy and humid. And in the winter time, spiders and rodents come INDOORS to get out of the cold. Personally, I love Spring and Summer. Fall is absolutely beautiful, but it doesn't last long. It gets the colorful foliage dies quickly and the weather gets cold FAST.
Hire a pest control service. Yes, but ALL of the east coast is humid, the south much worse. The west is dry heat, hot as an oven (unless you can afford to live near the beach). No place is perfect.
That was last year. Housing is much more this year.
I Was Born In New Hampshire & Now Your Telling Me To Never Move There Again? My father had a good job!
As someone who grew up in New Hampshire in poverty this is 100% facts. You cannot live here without a car. It's honestly amazing I even survived. It's a police state because they don't get tax money. As a teenager trying to survive, I drove without a license so I could keep working. I was pulled over 4 times for driving without a license, no other changes. Cost me a few thousand dollars. But that's the cost of living here.
Shhh, we moved to NH in 1986. Don't tell everyone to move here, we love it just the way it is. We can't see our neighbor's houses from ours. Our most pesky neighbor is the bear who destroyed my bird feeder last year. Or maybe it's the bobcat who calmly walked across the yard one morning carrying a squirrel in it's mouth. Random visitors are foxes and deer and daily there's a group of 14 wild turkeys who tell me off if I'm late with their breakfast treat each morning. Nope, you definitely do not want to live here. 😊😊

My feedback about the video:
1) Weather, yes it can get very cold and be dark but only depends what part of NH. There are other states down South that are much more humid than NH. Fall is beautiful.
2) If you are a veteran, it can be cheaper
3) transportation, driving could be expected.
4) homes can be expensive
5) depends where you go it can get busy for a late bar
6) drugs like any other city in the country it can be bad. Manchester can be crazy
7) wages are higher than MA for sure.
8) traffic, I disagree, it is not as bad as what it made it seem in the video. I am from NY so it is nothing compared to the city. New Hampshire, depends on the city it can have an amazing selection for Latino food.
9) there can be a lot of mosquitoes. Wooded area like any other place can get bad when it comes to insects. Always remember to wear white shocks when hiking.

Our state motto is “Live Free or Die” & there’s No income state tax or helmet/seatbelt laws … it’s a good place to live to raise a family
Yeah, Massachusetts residents should be sure to stay south of that state boarder
Love NH. Great videe.
Thank you!
Ive lived in New Hampshire my entire life and all of these are true but if you live out side of big city’s unlike other states you won’t have to drive for hours through harsh traffic to get in
It’s better then California,
I can’t wait to move to New Hampshire
POV: **I am watching this in NH**
Stop putting our town down I have lived here in Claremont New Hampshire my whole life it is a wonderful place I'd rather be here than in the big cities where there's so much crime and so much drama and hopefully someday they will legalize marijuana every state has been legalized it's time to do New Hampshire I hope they vote Yes on marijuana
NH is a great place to live! Cost of living is lower, taxes are very much lower allthough people will tell you the property ta is high and it is but if you compare to the rest of New England, taxes have gone way up so the issue of high property taxes are high. No income tax, no sales tax helps to bring down the cost of living. It's cleaner than MA and RI. Very small part time government. Legal carry. Sadly it is a swing state and goes Dem but the people in NH understand that the most power in government is local government. The legislators are paid $100 a year whether they want in or not. No state vehicles, reps are paid based on miles and ONLY to and from home to Concord. Its great place to move to and live! I lived there for over 20 years...moved from RI.
NH doesn't have an income tax so property taxes are higher than average. Ticks are prevalent.
Don’t tell the liberals that! They’ll move here…
@@gavinm1347 fuck politics! so sick of all this contention.
