So I live in central Mass, and I assume most ‘masshole’ behavior really refers to Boston-area residents.

I’d love to move north someday. What’s with all the Massachusetts hate?

I’m originally from the Merrimack valley. I moved north about 20 years ago. Some people up here make some noise but that’s all it is.

Too many people=too much like Mass. Just sheer amount of people fuckin sucks down there. Traffic, shitty houses and apartments everywhere to try to house everyone. NH is nice because our population remains low.

Except that the small population is quickly leading to an aging population. I travel for work frequently. You can always tell you’re getting on a flight to Manchester because there usually a half dozen or so geriatrics in wheel chairs and the rest of the plain averages about 65 years old.

I think you’d be surprised the amount of people that move here from mass then proceed to complain that it’s not more like mass. I’ve heard the most complaints about politics and lack of sidewalks (not sure which one is more stupid)

Have a sense of humor and don’t be a dick, I think that’s all that’s required for a warm welcome.
