Cause NH is pro-business. It is very competitive nationwide for winning private businesses to move their operations up there. I used to do this type of work in a previous life. VT is slowly starting to realize this economic opportunity around its Burlington area (mainly Williston). Also, NH is technically part of the Northeast "mega-metropolis" which spans from D.C. all the way to Manchester.

Many people are ignorant with how great of a state NH is. Its got freedom, natural beauty, higher educated people, tons of recreational activities, easy access to airports and major cities, and pro-business. Once all my kids are done with schools in MA, I'm outta here.

BMC! I think Burlington will be too far for me to drive tbh. Looking to get away from a long commute.I’m also looking into Littleton hospital. With the population growth in the area I feel like they will need to expand one of the hospitals at one point? Either way I think I would fine throwing band- aids on and getting them ready for medlight.

Income averages in VT on the whole are about 10% above the national average and presumably well above the Mississippi state average. I'm not saying that things aren't tight or can't be, nor am I suggesting that the state is free from gentrification pressures, but relative to the PNW these problems appear to be smaller. This could be because of VT's rural character. And yes there are old, rich, white assholes everywhere.

I’d say New Hampshire is better any day. Small businesses that actually appreciate you spending money with them, small businesses that don’t overcharge for cheap meals( $32 for 2 chicken thighs and mixed root vegetables make my blood boil in vermont) , more salt on the road /plow services when it snows ,more basic creature comforts aside from being close to boston and taxation and better chain selections and hours,etc. oh and my favorite about New Hampshire: tradesmen ( plumbers, electricians, etc) that actually want to work and show up on time and on the day they say they will show up!

Well, I'd say it's because the COL is lower, but I'm not really sure about that. I had no idea that NH had that many more folks than Vermont, tbh. I think NH is a little more rugged, and it does have a tiny coastline, but 1.4 million? I have no clue as to why NH has so many more folks.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.
