I agree. Had they went to Vermont, it would have returned the state to its Republican history.

if you'd care to be added to the FR ping list for FSP-related stories and commentary, just say the word.

Word.

Dang, I was hoping for Idaho.

I imagine most of the people in New Hampshire feel the same way.

[T Minus Four]

yes :-)

For real estate, try: Northern New England Real Estate

But be warned: it's pretty pricy around here (southern 1/3 of the state near I-93). As people are willing to drive further to work near Boston, and as Boston area business expand north, the housing pricing has been going up, up, up.

Also pay attention to local property taxes as that is your primary way of paying for government services. They're not cheap!

My wife and I just put in an offer on a house in Merrimack, NH.

Freedom is on the move!

Libertarians are just Republicans with brains.

It would be nice if we could free all of the United States. Let the socialists have Kalifornia, NY and Mass.

What do you say jmc? What's your take on moving FSP in a few years? There are a good number of our mutual acquiatences who have moved to Vermont and NH already to live free and snowboard. When they come back around they always say they love it up there, and bring me back a few cases of Red Hook.

Out of curiousity, how long is the commute back to Boston and/or the I-129 (correct numbers? been a while since up there) in rush hour traffic?

I would certainly never rule it out, and judging from the support the FSP gotten, I'm tempted more and more as time goes on. I have family that moved up there last year and absolutely love it. One of them was actualy my very liberal aunt who was from the "only police and military should have guns" school of thought. I didn't tell her about NH's gun laws until she was done with the move. Yes, I'm a bastard. :-)

If you wouldn't mind, could you FReepmail me their names? I'm always interested in seeing what people from back in the day are up to.

When they come back around they always say they love it up there, and bring me back a few cases of Red Hook.

I'm a Magic Hat man myself. They have about 6 varieties and are brewed in Burlington, VT. They've become widely available in Jersey liquor stores in the last year.

Snowboard?

No one said anything about a requirement to snowboard.....

(I Hate Winter)

I prefer indoor sports like beer and TV............

I'm guessing you're talking about the I-495 corridor.

The rush-hour(s) commute can be brutal. Depending on the final destination, I'd plan on at least an hour. If you end up working for a company that allows you to move your work hours to non-standard times you can cut your commute time in half.

There are also some mass-transit options available: train service that connects to the Boston subway system, private bus companies, and also Park & Ride lots where you can share your misery with people you've never met before. Check out MBTA and SmarTraveller for some more information.

But keep in mind that living in NH and working in MA is bad for the budget. You get to pay the high property taxes that fund NH services (mostly schools) and the ~%6 MA income tax.
