Reply to comment by MiggySmalls6767 in Massholes are moving north to NH at record levels by EgonEggnog

That is the dumbest opinion you can have. When rural New England towns die, this is the mentality that will have killed them. I hope you enjoy your town with nothing new opening, but for the rest of us, new is good.

I think you kind of hit the nail on the head though. They want zero change. They want their little town to stay just like it is forever. I mean Jesus, go drive around grafton or coos county. More buildings boarded up than not. But hey, at least there’s no scary big city folk.

Seriously though, once you get north of concord you might as well be somewhere deep in Mississippi or Alabama

Look at aroostook county in maine. They’re so afraid of “the others” that they allow town after town to die instead of attempting to bring in any type of new blood.

“The others” you ain’t lying. Was up north a few years ago during the height of the George Floyd protests doing some work for a guy who actually believed “those n-words are gonna come here and rob us” I gently reminded him of the half dozen or so meth heads currently vandalizing the area, but yes, he scared of black peoples who wouldn’t be caught dead in those boonies.
