Lol I've seen that map and find the 3-6" gradient across SE NH is an absolute joke, I'm sorry. Telling anyone south & east of Concord that they can potentially see the high end of that range (6") is absolutely wrong. My "expect this much" range for Concord, Manchester, Londonderry, Exeter, Portsmouth, Nashua, & Durham is 3-4"

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

I wouldn't say I'm hostile to it, but I do find it a little galling that people who have lived here their whole lives are being uprooted for transplants. I'd say people are hostile to wealth gobbling up our homes.

Don't even get me started on short-term rentals, investment properties and vacation homes.

We need to do something that allows NH natives or first time home buyers have a competing chance vs outside wealth.

I don't know what that is, unfortunately.

I think what they really mean is they don’t want to participate in modern society. They want to pretend they’re still living 60 years in the past. That and just generally scared of any kind of change. Don’t forgot part of it is code for “we don’t want more minorities here”. Now people can deny that all they want but seriously just go talk to anyone outside of any of our cities and they are terrified of “others”
