New Hampshire has a lot going for it these days:
—No state income tax
—Great job market since the southern part of the state is within commuting distance of Boston suburban and exurban high tech employers
—Housing prices have skyrocketed—if you got in twenty years ago you are feeling rich
—Whitopia—1.5% and in most of the wealthier suburbs it is close to zero—and crime rates are close to zero
Biggest negatives:
—The winters are nasty
—Traffic can be tough if you are commuting to MA during rush hour or going to the beaches in the summer
But I solved that problem by buying a new snowblower this year.
