>People are largely hostile to anyone from out of state buying homes here.

I've also seen the opposite - people moving here from out of state being very hostile and pretentious towards the people who grew up here.

Also, more than once I've heard this from someone who moved here from Mass:

I moved here because I don't like the way Mass is run. Also, the state is run the wrong way, it needs to be run like Mass.

Basing the Midwest on billboards and small towns eh? Theres so much diversity in the Midwest so summing it up by a drive through cities isn’t fair. The cities are so different from the country there…. It’s like night and day

THIS is the way.

I’m a transplant here in NH for my job. I have not experienced anything like animosity and I really like it here. However work is changing again and I will likely have to move in 2023. I’ve got nothing but positive things to say about NH except the snow has been more than what I was used to dealing with prior. Having a plow on my garden tractor and a working snowblower made it easier. PS - I’m old so maybe I’m the right or wrong demographic lol

NH has good nature. People are not welcoming unless you go north in the state. I often felt overwhelmed and somewhat yelled at by locals if that makes sense. I moved from the Midwest and I had to leave the state as a young person because the future felt somewhat bleak without progressive people or infrastructure plans. It was just sad living there as a young person who couldn’t afford a house and job pay wasn’t great unless I moved to mass.

☹️ I do not know. No points for me. My spouse is paraplegic and we have joked about them becoming an assassin so I thought it was funny/ironic.

I know folks that have harvested Corbin Park boar.

The fence along the perimeter has really old spots, and pigs are smart.

Watch it be some 18 year old progressive UNH student trying to prove a point or "provoke dialogue".

Welcome to Planet Earth, where such things have been happening since the dawn of civilization.

I've encountered this more in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom or NEK. It's a lot of the outflow from Quebec.

This is happening all over rural Japan, and it's not pretty. All the kids leave, because they literally need to.

If they need somewhere to live, they're pushing Dunkin's people out of the market.

Too many people look at someone that lives 20 miles away moving over an imaginary line as if it's terrible or something. It's just normal movement of people and it happens everywhere.

You'd think that the way some people sound, that NH is the fastest growing state in the union or something (plot twist, we aren't, and it's not close)

I don’t mind people from Massachusetts coming up to visit New Hampshire. I do mind tourists that come to New Hampshire, treat it like a toilet, and act like they own the place.

There's a persistent myth that people in Berlin speak French but its not true, not within my lifetime at least. The main language of communication in all of NH is English, even in parts with the most French ancestry.

u/MiggySmalls6767 did… and it’s 25% of this threads argument.

Fellow Claremonter?! Howdy neighbor!! 👋

I don’t think the people building or buying houses are doing that off of the salary they make at Dunkin’s.

I speak French and live around Lake Winnipesaukee area and have seen people in the town before that are native French speakers. Though not sure if they were just passing by!

I struggle with this. I was born here but my Dad was from Mass 😇

Hampton gets a lot of French Canadian visitors in the summer.

> you can come here and visit

Who said you could visit?

Yeah that’s my point
