I'm fine with people moving here, as long as they don't come here and try to change our way of life.
That's never made sense to me. You choose to move then attempt to change your new home to match the crap you moved away from.

Make up your mind, you fucking yokels.
Do you want your businesses to be successful and have traffic? Do you want big business to have incentives to put their operations over the border and hire out of MA as well? Do you think fucking BAE just really doesn't want to wear their seatbelts on their way to work? Do you really think only NH natives are enough to fuel the businesses of resort towns on lakes and ski resorts?
This is inevitable. If you don't like urban sprawl, move north like me and my relatives have been doing every 20 years or so. It is what it is. NH NEEDS MA or else a lot of people are gonna have to sell a lot of pontoon boats.

Unlikely. It's only a couple inches and tends to be warmer there too.

People are only moving to NH because housing is cheaper. It’s not always a “yea let’s move to NH!” Mentality. It’s “where the hell can I afford to own my house.”

And NH economy needs it.

The whole “Masshole” moniker/obsession here is so childish and odd to me. WHO THE HELL CARES. There’s good and bad people from all of the surrounding states. If you want visit or move to the state, come on over. I frankly don’t care where you’re from. Frankly, if you’re coming from mass, statistically you’re likely to bring more money along with you to spend, so to some extent, I’d even prefer it.

I’m not really clear on what some people want. NH is the second oldest state just behind Maine in median age. There is a decent amount of brain drain as younger people leave the state for college, especially given the cost of UNH.
I’m convinced there’s a block that just wants NH to be a giant retirement community. It appears as though most younger NH citizens prefer denser more populated areas with more to do than your average “New England small town”. What’s the plan if you don’t want people from out of state moving here? Who’s going to fill the jobs or take care of the aging population?

If you dont want massholes to live here then stop selling land and houses to them

Highly recommend using the offline maps feature in google maps. downloads the whole state to your phone. While GPS may not work, at least you have a map to help out. I digress, don't trust the GPS 100%.

They should honestly just move down south or to the mountain west if they want to live in an actual conservative state. Can’t imagine how fast they’d sprint back to NE after realizing how terrible red America is. Perhaps they’d actually learn (the hard way) to appreciate where they live.

Can confirm. Most people moving “to” NH from southern New England are moving there out of a perceived political kinship. People in Southern New England talk about NH and Maine as though they are the motherland. And it is always in the context of right wing politics or general conservative points of view. No body is moving to NH to “turn it blue”. If anything they’re moving there to turn it red. This is anecdotal of course

Congratulations. You are proving my point some more. I never said it was strange to want to comment that.I said I don’t want to engage with you in a philosophical debate here. Change the argument to what you want it to be about and you will always be correct.
You are of course 100% correct. Now walk away with win and be proud. Go educate the world.

Funny how people like you are still convinced NH is a red state despite almost 25 years of voting mostly blue.
Also, Mass transplants are the most conservative voting bloc in this state. Studies have been done on this and the claim of “red” NH locals being overrun by blue Mass transplants has been long disproven.

I'm in southern NH and so I guess I can manage 1-2 inches.
I've lived in New England since the early 1960s so I should be able to handle anything that comes this week.
