I am social worker for a private non-profit and thus not "charmed" with vast wealth, so I do not have NEARLY enough funds to sustain the year round lifestyle of a tourist town... shazbot, I do not have enough $ to even pay for my own vacation to Portsmouth let alone live there! Thank you Cam for being straight forward, as I actually still daydream...
I lived in Portsmouth for about 15 years until the traffic and all the new properties going up drove me out. It used to be fun before it was Taurus season and all year in rush-hour all day. But still fun to visit now that we live out in the woods in crave culture all the time. And by the“woods” I mean the Raymond Epping Lee area. A cultural dead zone if I ever saw one. Well I do miss living in Portsmouth. I do not regret moving because of all the traffic we have now everywhere. Also, you are 100% accurate with the tearing up of side streets. Construction seems perpetual.
Thank you Cam for another great video. I can relate to life in a tourist hot spot as we live near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The traffic does get old after a while. I would love to convince my wife and son to move to New Hampshire or Maine, but so far they are not on board. There is a question about the area that I have. How welcoming is the residents of people from here in East Tennessee moving into their towns? We keep hearing about the Northeast Shield that is tough to break through. I’m wanting to make the move to New Hampshire or Maine because of how life is there. I’m not wanting to move there to make it like East Tennessee. I love the small townships around the area.

As a retiree and native NH resident the cost of living on the “coast” caused me to relocate to the even more beautiful North Country 😊

Of course the Summer brings construction. New England has two seasons - Winter and get ready for Winter!
if you like cold, damp winter weather and a cold, damp virtually non-existent spring by all means move to portsmouth, nh. been there, done that.
