Pollards Mills is a beautiful waterfall you can swim in when the weather is warm. Sunapee has beautiful lake and skiing right next door. There are a lot of outdoor activities and a good gym called Newport Fitness right downtown. Not much for social/nightlife, but there are a few nice restaurants around. Suna and Refinery are close by and on the higher end. Salt Hill pub, Anchorage, Jalisco are also nice and close by.

Sorens, eh? It's been a while since I met him. Smart guy, but his ideas are a hot mess.

I met him during the time when the Free Keene movement was causing all kinds of problems in and around Keene. I was willing to listen to his pitch because I am openminded. Very few of his ideas had merit or any chance of success, but he was a pleasant guy. And then Free Keene showed up and ruined any chance their Libertarian movement would take hold with their batshit crazy antics.

Someone else needs to put some skin in this game and run against the current candidates because Sorens is just smart and charming enough to do a lot of real damage to Amherst.

Before you judge Jason, it's important to note that he was so early to the Free State Project that he was pre-wackjob. He's sort of a neoliberal economics guy, and when it comes to the narrow purview of the planning board he's imminently well-suited for it, being academically inclined about those policies through his work at Saint Anselm's. He's an actual expert on housing policy, not an ideologue.
