This and when someone got to a four way intersection first and won’t go first makes me irrationally angry. Don’t be polite, just follow the rules of society please!

That's not a NH thing but I never follow anyone else's direction but my own. Most of those people don't look behind them to see the car passing them in the breakdown lane. You would still be at fault if you pulled out and caused an accident

Have you ever lived in NH OP? Or are you a “don’t read to me” free stater who’s eager to move to NH?

Factor in property taxes, heating bills (and sure you can cut your own wood but that takes a lot of time and effort), etc. It’s not the shoot-em-up, hate liberals, low taxes paradise that you’ve got in your head.

Sure you can find a few free staters who might invite you to their circle jerk if you move up, but no one pays any attention to those kooks.

You should probably do a little more homework on your tax situation. NH is technically a functioning state and has to pay for that function with some form of taxes. The result is that NH has the 4th highest real estate tax in the country. And if you earn your income outside of NH, in MA for example, as many NH folks do, you’re paying income tax in the state where it was earned, not NH.

I can’t tell you how many MA folks I know who moved to southern NH to “avoid taxes” but ended up still working in MA and ended up paying a much higher effective tax rate, kind of the worst of both worlds between real estate and income tax.
