I left and moved to VT. Not criminalized for growing my own pot, No stupid billboards on every fucking highway exit, and I am free of the awful towns of Manchester and Assland. Manchester was a nightmare for me. Car accidents nearly daily on the intersection by me, neighbors house getting shot at, someone being killed up the block from me. Ashland is shit too. No parking if you live on main st, so good luck with that!, landlord ran an air BNB and that was a nightmare, not to mention the town has one employee for town hall, and they're fucking useless. Good riddance to the Alabamatucky of NE.

I hope you’re happier where you’re at now. I love VT personally. I’m up there almost every weekend in winter.

But there’s plenty of things to bitch about there if you look for the negativity in everything. Wherever you go, there you are… It’s very remote. There aren’t as many jobs. Taxes are high. Tourists are fucking stupid. AirBnB is a plague.

The Alabama-tucky thing is funny, coming from someone who just moved to a state which is substantially more rural. Parts of NH are only 30 miles from Boston.

I thought about moving to VT but proximity to work and family keep me here. The two states aren’t really that different. How could they be? It’s at most 100 miles to the border from any point.

Vermont doesn’t have a Manchester, but it does have a Barre and a Rutland, with similar problems. Both states have less desirable places for any given person.
