That’s true. I relent. There’s no way society will progress unless we’re willing to make massive initial changes in infrastructure (not sarcasm).

How can you imagine otherwise? They already have the tools and personnel to fix outages and trim trees. How much more do you think they would need to bury lines all over a mostly rural state that’s mostly made out of rock? It would be astronomically expensive.

This entire winter has been above average temperature so almost every snow storm has delivered heavy ass wet snow that piles up on trees and lines. This isn’t typical.

This is the only year I remember where EVERY snow storm has been heavy wet snow. No powder whatsoever. Heavy wet snow and wind are perfect for outages

T Mobile has been having issues for a while. And I live quite a ways from Providence.

It’s called “spring cleaning.” As soon as the temps rise above 50 and the sun comes out I try to open the windows as much as I can.

Reply to Best place to live in NH without a car by kellyatta
Realistically you can live anywhere without a car. It’s simply about living within walking/biking/bussing distance to everywhere you need to be on a weekly basis. That could be work, grocery store, doctors’ offices, and not much else. I’ve lived without a car in several different areas that are definitely not conducive to living without one. But I made it work by walking, biking, catching the buses where I could, and doing as many things online that I could without having to go to physical places. If you can manage to work-from-home then that will make it exponentially easier. Especially if you’re a homebody/introvert.
So, in conclusion, if you can strategically find an apartment/home that’s relatively close to everything you need, and maybe a few bus stops, then it’s totally doable. It just takes some grit. You’ll get wet and cold and tired from walking/biking around, but if you’d rather not have a car, then it’s not that bad. You only have yourself to depend on and worry about.
OR you can move to one of the few cities in New England that are very pedestrian-friendly, but you’ll need to shell out most of your earnings to rent.
Anyway, any sizable city I’m sure you could get away with it. As some others have said, the cities in MA are better for this, but you can do it in NH. Concord and Manchester are the two obvious choices as they’re relatively dense. Maybe Nashua as well.

Had no problem getting to work this morning at 5. Road crews did an awesome job. Granted I take mostly main streets on my way. Sleepy side streets were ankle deep.

It’s a city. It has city things. Restaurants, parks, venues. Lots of people of all ages and backgrounds.
