Nashua, NH is 50 miles from Boston. The moose tend to live up near the Canadian border.
We live up here because we moved out of states like NY where we were over taxed and surrounded by liberals.
I can't help asking if you moved out of a state like NY, or did you actually move out of NY? There's a big difference there. For example, given the option of paying an extra $3k in taxes on every $100k I make in return for living with a half hour of NYC, with everything NYC has to offer (and where I can make significantly more money), picking NY seems like a no-brainer to me. Plus, our winters are MUCH more tolerable. OTOH, you couldn't PAY me to live in Boston, which is unquestionably the most overrated mid-sized city in this country. And, incidently, I moved out to Westchester ten years ago. I'm mostly surrounded by Republicans.
