Wait, I'm confused. The order says they have a month to come up with a plan, not fix the issue. Am I misunderstanding what this means? It doesn't sound like they are demanding what you are describing?

That’s actually not true. The city funded it almost completely through bonds and the price tag went up from $15 mil to $21 mil with only $4 private funding. I’m actually excited to have it here but that’s the reason why people are opposed to it.

The article says the chaperones took the passports and put them in a safe deposit box. If they did that, it makes less sense than ever that they were destroyed.

I'll be watching for the couple who orders pineapple upside-down cake with a slice of Key lime pie. Bow chicka wow wow

Does anyone know which of the 18 New Hampshire hospitals they are talking about?

New Hampshire has a 0.5% vacancy rate at any given time. We were one of the most affordable states to live in. Rents have increased by 32% on average in the state.

If the people here can't afford to stay here, they don't even really have anywhere left to go now.

Downvote all you want. Those are facts.

Uncultured swine wouldn't like it!

That’s an exaggeration but let’s pretend it’s accurate: is that better or worse than no staff housing?

I used to work in MA thirty years ago and drove back roads through Nashua. They didn’t plow back then either.

These comments just prove the majority of NH isn’t in this sub. Governor with a high approval rating gets totally shit on in this sub. I would assume half this sub is made up of people from eastern MA who just hate anything that’s not super progressive bs.

Aside from the fact that it's a ridiculous supposition that the units would be filled with people from "Other states," what is wrong with people from other states exactly? What is with this fever pitched rhetoric on this sub about "outsiders" gaining residence in NH? It's so fricking elitist.

How so? A simple look at suburban Boston and most of NH zoning regulations and you'll find them similar, the same, or actually more restrictive than here. Density of the geographic scale your imagining is not happening anytime soon here, and the type of development you are probably in visioning are the 5 over 1 condo typology. This is already legal in a lot of municipalities here in the 30% or 20% of residential land that allows for any type of multi-family home. It's the only type of multi-family that current zoning and building codes make profitable and so it's the only one that gets built. These is why there's a fear of density.

Let's talk about softer density. Things like duplexes and triplexes, small mixed use building, two or three stories. Lot size, floor area, and building footprint maximums, that manages scale and mass, instead of minimums that promotes larger out of scale buildings. Form base codes, instead of prescriptive ones so we can have a guiding principal of good scale and measured growth. All these where common once in NH (except maximums and form base codes, those are a new idea that attempt to correct the scale and mass issue in modern building development), before suburbs that's how we build, lots of old town centers still have these type of buildings, this is what give them their traditional New England look. But most wouldn't allow them to be build today. We have zoned them out of feasibility. We need to look around and say maybe we should allow them again, near our towns and cities cores, infill empty lots and underutilized parking lots that where ment for storing vehicles for suburbanite growth that never materialize after the economic bust in the late 1900s and the de-investment in smaller cities and towns. If we truly don't want to look like Boston and it's endless sprawl this is what we need to do, allow our towns to grow inwards instead of outwards.

Let's talk about public transit, we need to start serving ourselves. There's this perception that public transit is just for getting to Boston, the dreaded T extension! Some of our communities could use internally focused transit that is reliable, frequent, and practical. Say Portsmouth or Dover, instead of just COAST running routes between towns only and tryin to catch everything in a few lines, which makes service tedious and not practical. We need loop routes that serve the neighborhoods and brings people to services and goods in short intervals under 15 to 20 minutes. Something that is more than feasible in smaller cities like these two. With simpler commuter lines that go between cities and meet the loop buses at different stops or a central stop.

Why do you assume they'll be taken up by transplants, any more than any other type of apartment or housing?

I'm a right winger and I support legalization. And Sununu is a tyrant.

No offense, OP... but I'm just here to see if u/TheCloudBoy chimes in.

This is the birth of a Reddit romance

I love u/TheCloudBoy even my husband demands for his updates

Rust bus stop

If they build 44 and immediately 44 people move here to work for them from Other states, they've added exactly 0 options to the local housing market. Hell, if even two thirds are taken up by transplants, all we've done is ensured that the fight will be even harder when these people decide to size up and find out everything below $2,000 is basically unobtainable unless you're literally the perfect candidate.

"Let's make NH like Boston and not like NH" Yeah, no thank you. Please.

Yeah. 2018 I looked at something the same size. $1600-$1700 if I remember correctly.

Dispensary in Massachusetts. They have some in Haverhill that is like 10-15 minutes from NH border.

Hiking in White Mountains - Lincoln and Franconia area is beautiful!

ASOS comes in clutch here, when I was running the spreadsheet I only tracked the forecast and real numbers from towns with ASOS or COCORAHS stations
