This question reads like a 4th grade social studies assignment, I couldn’t resist.

Yep grew up there and can confirm. When asked where I grew up I say Seacoast and when I get a strange look I say 45 mins north of Boston near the ocean and it clicks.

New Hampshire has a small slice of sea coast which is a non-trivial part of its earlier commerce and growth. Vermont's largest population center (Chittenden County) used to be pretty geographically isolated with the mountains on one side, and the lake on the other. This is why Montpelier became the capitol and not Burlington, because dignitaries and diplomats wouldn't have to traverse the mountain roads.

Vermont is just poorly located for most industry, but southern Vermont used to be one of the machining capitals of the world. We had some of the best engineers and machinists that could make just about anything, including the machines that made things.

Nearly all of that industry was outsourced to east Asia to cut costs. Had Vermont (and the United States as a whole) been able to keep things in-house, Vermont would be known for a lot more than tourism/skiing/maple syrup these days.

Starlink is great as long as you can place the dish where it will have a completely clear view of the sky. You can download the app to check potential spots for the dish.

Starlink. Coming on 3 years now zero issues and blistering speeds. I work from home and game heavily with 4k Netflix in the other room. It’s a godsend.

You are welcome.

This is helpful, thank you!

Thank you! Xfinity is not available where we are

Looking for comparative to the area and opinions. Like if you were a nurse in the area would you work here? The union question is tough because I googled it and couldn’t find anything. My husband insists it is. Finally my post was only allowed to be 300 characters so I was cut off 😅

Check x finity?

I live at the top of NH. When I cross the bridge into VT the only difference I notice is the lack of salt on the roads.

Probably try contacting them directly. Reddit doesn't always have factual info.

I read this in Perd Hapleys voice hahaha

I love dogs and always had them growing up on the farm. I have never had one as an adult because I feel it is less cruel for the dog to not have existed than for him/her to spend their entire existence at the end of a leash or worse confined. What's the compassionate solution? No more cats and dogs? The fact that humans feel the need for 100% control over their environment and the creatures in it is an almost a laughable path to take and destined to failure. Shit we can't even make our own species to do the simplest thing like don't take fentanyl.

NH is much more free and less authoritarian, less taxes and friendlier population

In general, yes! I would say August is a safe bet for warmth, but even into September it stays pretty warm. It's just enough past the "summer" season, but not yet into fall, which is when many of our most popular tourist spots are at their busiest.

You forgot taxes👍🏼/s

Taxes, sea port, taxes, multiple military bases (population didn’t change a lot when Pease was closed because of other agencies), taxes, etc… etc…

More Free Staters in NH, more Hippies in VT

I know a lot of people are saying “because Boston”

I mean…maybe kinda…but not really. I’ve lived in NH 20 years and rarely ever go to Boston. Same with several people I know here in SE NH.

We live here because its awesome.

Edit: I love VT and NH. Somewhat surprised at massive downvotes. I browse here because I like your state. I said nothing negative. Oh well reddit gonna reddit. Have a great day friendly neighbors.

This.
