Manchester is meh alright, I still have my car and use it some days. I bet Portsmouth is the best bet in NH. Side note that Montreal not far from here is consistently rated the most bikable city in north America!

You can live in Concord without a car. There are apartment complexes on "the heights" with free bus service downtown. From the bus station, you can catch a bus to Boston. A lot of shopping is within walking distance.

I agree. Writing laws don't really matter when the people that are in charge of protecting said rights and laws huff gasoline.

You can be the freeset country on planet Earth but if the people are absolutely retarded with no sense of right or wrong... Well you get stories like this. When people don't want to look out for each other you get crackheads cause there's some serious cognitive dissonance between American exceptionalism and what happens in the day to day of peoples lives.

Dover, Durham and Exeter have Amtrak that could get you to Boston or north to Portland. They have smaller downtowns, particularly Exeter.

Manchester core has quite a bit happening and the airport. Concord has an ok downtown but you won’t be able to go anywhere else really without a car.

Definitely don’t move to a rural area, even in NH (obviously).

I live in New Boston which is only 17 miles from Manchester, 21 miles from Nashua and 26 miles from Concord. It’s almost impossible to live here without a car. Even then, the nearest gas station is 20 mins away and the nearest grocery store is 25 mins away.

If something looks truly affordable in this area, research it first because not all towns have accessibility and transportation amenities (at all).
