That is interesting. Thank you. But are the people there still pushing the 1619 project?

Black Heritage Trail NH does a guided tour about her in Portsmouth and the Portsmouth Historical Society has hosted guided tours about historical women in Portsmouth and Ona Judge is a topic during this tour as well.

Yeah I was coming directly from Brooklyn when I moved to the upper Valley and almost fell over when the apartment prices were nearly identical. Everyone makes it work though. You’ll do great!

Privatize the schools and these sorts of things stop being an issue, you could just move your kid to a school that isn't garbage.

Just curious, are you a lesbian? Because I am, and am in a whole lot of "lesbian groups," and I do not know a single person who finds this to be remotely a concern.

Yeah, a common New England saying is “you can’t get there from here.” Those pesky mountains tend to get in the way.

For example to get to my family in northern Maine I have to drive an hour south first to get to a more direct route.

If I worked at DHMC, I’d be happy living in any of the places you mentioned. As others have mentioned, housing supply is tight so I would suggest keeping all of them in consideration vs. choosing a specific town now.

Hanover is on the pricier side due to proximity to the college. Driving around there on game weekends, graduation, etc. can be a pain, but the downtown area is nice.

WRJ would be my pick for restaurants and bars. Wolf tree is a fantastic cocktail bar and both Trail Break (tacos) and Big Fatty’s BBQ have solid food and beer lists. That being said, you obviously don’t have to live in WRJ to enjoy those places. Leb, Hanover, and Norwich are all pretty quick drives

I agree! But the housing is trending a bit cheaper so the question being, does the cost of housing in Vermont being cheaper offset the income tax disparity.

I had been sorting by travel distance from DHMC when searching so that makes perfect sense. Distances are much more curvy here than in the midwest ha.

Thanks so much for the thought out reply! We're so excited to get up there and get going. But you're completely right, the housing is just pants on head crazy expensive. Trying to figure that out is going to take some time.

You would think that would be common sense but after reading 90% of these comments on op's post, common sense has long left the chat years ago with these folks.

For anyone who needs additional info on what professionals look at when working with transgender people there's a 40 year old org called WPATH, which just released version 8 of it's standard of care.

WPATH Standard of Care 8

This one's not looked at by professionals, but more used to educate people it's a compilation of light research, history, and personal experiences

Definitely read this article. We aren't talking about surgeries. We are talking about banning proper counseling. Why in the world would we ban a therapist from doing their job and treating all the patient's issues?

How does one go water skiing alone?

Wow didn’t know this. Going to have to learn more about her.

The way people used to write was so funny: “much freckled” “middle stature” “delicately formed”.

> Daily humor...

X for doubt...

Vermont will charge you income tax if you live there……….

Not yet I haven't had any temps over 50, but I do crack a window every morning since the birds started singing.

While parking minimums can be bad, the developer choosing to put adequate parking on her development can easily be a wise choice. Specifically, doing so means the development will be attractive to a much bigger pool of prospective tenants, i.e. those who aren't necessarily content to spend all of their time inside a shithole.

Increased demand means higher price which means the developer will actually make money by developing which means the developer will actually develop instead of doing something else with her life.

It makes me sick that these simple minded people target the most vulnerable people in our society to make their political points. Many are just brainwashed trump/fox robots with hate in their hearts. We must all stick together to fight this dangerous movement, especially in our beautiful state. We must defend those who have been marginalized and are unable to defend themselves.

I just don't want you having a say in MY kids' education.

You are quite free to teach your kids your values at home. If you're worried it isn't going to stick because they are exposed to other ideas and ways of life at school, that is a you problem. Leave my kids, me, and our freedoms out of it.

If you are supporting restrictive laws, you are supporting restricting someone's freedom, even if not your own.

Ok, a simple “wrong” would’ve done just fine but..

Im interested in a real massage place. Someone who digs out all the problems. Not looking for someone to kill time rubbing my back or screwing around with hot rocks or paraffin. Not looking for a jack-shack either. Just a good knead out the knots kind of place.

The current GOP legislative body for New Hampshire is trying to be the South of the North. While we don't have groups like the klan or other far right white nationalist organizations. We have the Free Staters and the NH Libertarian party slowly chipping away personal rights and institutions that guarantee children of all education backgrounds a decent education and for families to make decent medical decisions for their children. Currently there are three towns that are heavily influenced by these groups at a local level above Concord and in North Country.

Who’s going to bait their hooks? 😄
