I'm fine with people moving here, as long as they don't come here and try to change our way of life.
That's never made sense to me. You choose to move then attempt to change your new home to match the crap you moved away from.

As someone who’s lived in Mass, California, Virginia and North Carolina. That stupid saying of “ Don’t change our way of life” has to be the most ignorant one. We all live in the U.S.A for crying out loud. The way of life in San Diego is pretty much the same as Boston. The way of Life in Wilmington was the same as Boston and San Diego. There’s literally nothing to change. Some of the food is different, the way certain things are done like trash, water / sewer etc are different. But quite literally everything else is the same. People in NH don’t live a unique lifestyle that is just NH.

The taxes, laws and policies of MA would indicate a very different way of thinking and living. I’m from MA and moved to NH because it wasn’t desirable to the way I wanted to live. I love it in NH, mainly because I don’t get penalized for getting up in the morning and going to work and I get to indulge in certain sports and hobbies that would cost more money just to ask for permission ( another thing I really don’t like) to partake in, before actually spending money on said hobby

I’ve found noticeable cultural differences in different regions of the country (It’s pretty fucking big) maybe consider if you’re ignorant as well before pointing the finger chief.

You’ll notice you’re comparing coastal cities to coastal cities.

If these places are all the same as you say, then why do people move? Come on

You think people only move to be in a different environment? Seriously? Have you ever talked to anyone who has moved? There are endless reasons why people move.

Most move for Jobs or education. Not for the so called way of life. I moved to NC because winters to me are the worst. Not for any supposed way of life. My day to day life is exactly the same as it was in Massachusetts, and except warmer.

See you mention jobs and education and then in the very next sentence state that a shift away from seasonal living was your biggest factor in moving.

It still doesn’t change my day to day life. And a northerner can’t bring the weather south.

Probably one of the more garbage/uninformed takes I’ve seen in a while.

How very MTG of you…
If you pay NH property taxes, you have the right to do whatever you are legally allowed to do. Not a fan? Move to Berlin

What a weird way of saying "I can't read and entirely miss points"
GonzoTheGreat22 t1_j9hq8ah wrote
OK enlighten me. My smooth brain read this comment to mean that they are cool with people moving here, but just as long as you do what we do. Which is not AT ALL how this thing works.
But I’m dumb so enlighten me.

And them’s some hefty property taxes, esp compared to Mass

They are/were pretty much equal. Higher priced property with slightly lower taxes equal lower priced property with slightly higher taxes.

Not the same when you pay off your mortgage though. Property taxes vary a lot in Mass, they’re very low in Boston
