I grew up in SE MA and then lived in Boston for years before moving to central NH. I was lucky because I work remote so I got a place in NH first and then slowly moved here. It was the best thing I ever did. As a native of MA it was always annoying but you don’t realize just how awful it is until you leave. It’s not really the people but the state and town governments are just horrible, regardless of whether you lean left or right. It has nothing to do with politics really. The state is just mean and always warning you about something and presenting the penalty when you’d never do it anyway. There are definitely great people there, like anywhere, and beautiful towns, etc but I never knew you don’t have to just accept and live with all that misery until I moved out. I think if anyone is remotely unhappy with MA they shouldn’t hesitate to move, whether to NH or really anywhere else where you feel you’d be happier.

I have never been happier moving out of MA for the same reasons as you. I will also add the "we know what is best for you" attitude that has become unbearable. I got so sick of the over building to the point that life and living there had become a burden.

After a while being away, I too noticed myself detoxifying from the constant din of telling people how to live, the gov picking my pocket, everything we are programmed to do and say.

I will never live in MA again

I agree with both of you. Never been happier!!

I actually tried to help improve Massachusetts through local government volunteering and involvement but those corrupt fuckers fuckers have agendas. I finally realized it was a lost cause. Not to mention all of the robots who just go along with everything. The over building is a disgrace. Charlie Baker ruined Massachusetts!
