Tragic fact is that a position like the planning board is a rather thankless job. Someone in my family spend decades on it trying to preserve the town, yet allow for growth that is inevitable, and allow it in a productive manner instead of turning Amherst into another Nashua. Spent years working on a proposal to allow open space, not allowing housing developers to clearcut their 40 acre lots and slap houses in everywhere they could, but still allowing housing to be built and work with the land.

Then new people move to town, and shot it down, and now say that my family member and rest of the board is corrupt, taking bribes and should be sued. The family member in question is a very, very well respected person in town, anyone who’s lived here longer then these new flatlanders who think they know what’s best knows them and respects them. Also, she says that if she’s been corrupted, she doesn’t see the benefit from corruption, because we’re still poor as shit lol. Literally only live in this town because we were here before it was a town 😂

Sanctuary Dairy makes amazing ice cream. They also have donkeys and goats, be nice to them. The Claremont Ramunto’s is the best of the chain and has by far the best garlic knots. Claremont Dry Goods and Spices is run by very enthusiastic knowledgeable people.

He is an idiot… but there’s a legitimate Q anon nutjob running against him. I’m not gonna dox myself on here but we’ve been in this town since before it was a town, and my family on the planning board/zoning commission/conservation commission/ etc for decades, and the new guy running legitimately will destroy this town. He’s already trying to put forth a lawsuit against the previous planning board members claiming “corruption” and “trying to destroy the town” or some BS like that. As a family of people who hate the free state movement from day 1, the fact a free stater actually is the lesser of two evils should seriously concern everyone.

Appalachian Mountain Club has a 20s and 30s group that could be fun if you like outdoor activities.

I agree, though. Been here 3 years and never found it so hard to make friendships with any depth.

The “free staters” are anti-community, anti-society, everything they do is to dismantle our committees and society.

They are prickly people who were never well liked, social outcasts, indignant, arrogant and angry that they don’t fit in, and thus blaming society for their rejection the reason for dismantling communities, because misery loves company. They desperately want company that they never had.

Not suggesting anyone is unwanted. Suggesting that if an idea is a good one you don’t need to pay people to move to a state to conduct it as an experiment first, you’d try it in your home state. Of course everyone is welcome in NH.

Now, of course, let’s also keep in mind one of their central tenants is secession from the country…
