I have been talking about moving to NH for a while to get away from the Communist State of NY. Now with the new laws I am definately going. I have a wife and kids and like NH small gov't and restricted gov't so that is a big reason for the move. I am a little concerned about all the leftist socialist that are in NH with their MA style politics and influence. I realize NH is way ahead of NY but is there a better state to go to or am I worrying over nothing. I need good schools and are looking for at leat 20 acres oif useable land. Any input would be great.

People like you Moving to NH is what is going to keep NH free. The next best place is a long ways away from New England.
 
The only thing NH doesn't have going for it is affordability. If you want to trade off a few percentage points of moonbatitude for a lot of cost savings there's also Maine.

Absolutely. We need more right way thinks and voters to swing the tide back from the ground we lost in the last election.
If you need any help sing out. I'll be happy to do some leg work for you.
 
I moved here from New York (Long Island) and I could never go back. I still read Newsday, the Long Island newspaper, to keep up mostly on my sports teams (I will never change my sports allegiances) and every day I read something that makes me glad I left (like $200k per year cops, never mind the new gun laws). Southern New Hampshire reminds me of Long Island when I was young (mid 60's). I don't know the specifics of what you are looking for, employment, etc., but I'm glad I'm here.

Affordability???? Compared to New York, the highest taxed state in the union? I don't know what part of New York the OP is from, and he very well could be from some upstate, low cost of living area, but I'm from downstate New York (Long Island) and the highest cost of living areas in New Hampshire are still low compared to the typical downstate areas.

I wouldn't say Maine has alot of cost savings over NH. Less jobs, lower wages in general, income tax, sales tax, and depending on where you are, property tax is a toss up.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great place. I grew up there but moved to NH for the aforementioned reasons.

I am from Orange county and retired so work for me is not essential. My wife is a substitute teacher here in Ny and No she is not a moonbat! She hopes to get into sub teaching in Nh.
 
Just don't bring any liberal baggage with you, new englanders will help one another out without the force of government, no need to pay $7000 in food to someone that doesn't work

If you work NH is still probably more affordable, OP is retired though... wont have much income tax to worry about and he can go where the property taxes are almost nothing. Cost per acre/sqft of house is what I was getting at though.

Speak more of this, sir. My understanding is that cost of living in Maine is quite high, as are taxes. Both NH and ME appeal to me, but both seem to have a seasonal/tourism economy, where property can be expensive and jobs don't pay well if you can find them.

Income tax is pretty high, and wages are pretty low in Maine.. not a whole lot of dollar advantage if you plan on working a real job. If you already have assets, and income isn't a big part of your plan, Maine shines because property values and property taxes are much lower.

An average house in most of southern NH is going to set you back almost $500/mo in property taxes whether you're working or not. If you are working, the lack of income tax and higher wages offset it... if not, it hurts. If you're retired, it really hurts because NH does have an income tax on dividends... but that depends how your retirement is structured.

One thing I will say about NH, my nephew, born and raised in MA, has lived in NH for a couple of years and loves it. He'll never come back. So, not all the youth are lost.

He does state, however, that you have to bring your women with you, 'cause they ain't got none up there.

I'm 28 and we moved/bought our house in 2010. I'll definitely never go back to MA... Maine might happen for a second house soon, which we'll then move too full time once the mortgage gets slayed.

Yeah, well, um, I'll try to leave my liberal inclinations and voting preferences behind. Thanks. And Maine is looking better all the time.

Dude, don't base your decision on me... Shit my wife doesn't even do that. [laugh] What I meant was first learn about the states before moving to them.

Case in point... There was a very funny thread about some moonbat that left CA thinking NH was this progressive state and was shocked to find out we like guns, hunting, and small government.

Liberal and Liberty are not the same thing, you want to let liberty reign move to NH or what ever state you choose, you want to take money from me through the threat of force to pay for crap move to Maine or better still stay in MA, NY or CA
 
I was born in MA but grew up in Salem, NH (from 5 years old). My wife talked me into buying a house in MA because of the school system. Needless to say, it's the only real point of contention in our marriage, and I remind her of my pain on a regular basis.
