This is an important fact that should not be overlooked IMO

I am doubtful this plan will work well in NH. People I talk to about dispensaries care about the product and service they provide. ME has a whole heap of quality dispensaries mere minutes from the NH seacoast, some with their own white labeled top-quality bud that sells for $35 1/8oz before volume discounts. I don’t see NH being able to siphon enough traffic by competing on price nor quality.

I could be wrong, and would be pleasantly surprised if that is the case.

I think you are conflating arguments. My comment exchange with curious_buffalo was not in reference to the tiny homes mentioned in the original article. Furthermore, the relevance to the main topic doesn’t really matter in the end, this is Reddit after all.

I’m sorry I gave you the impression that all trailer parks and communities are predatory, as that was not the intent of my comment.

Yeah I did. You didn’t specify the land/lease agreement parameters in the post I responded to, so narrowing the argument to only include scenarios where the land is owned by an individual feels slightly disingenuous.

Recent or not, its happening now and that removes support from the argument that trailer parks are a source of affordable house (you can toss your asterisk here and say YMMV and the like)

Fun facts:

  • Since 1952, NHs population has grown every year except one (1991)
  • The population has more than doubled in the last 60 years: 1962: 632,000; 2021: 1,388,992

Now the question becomes, keeping the historical growth data in mind, why do you see this trend posing a threat to the state’s beauty? Perhaps a follow up might be, why do you think the state has remained beautiful despite the steady growth over the past 60+ years?

Edit: Adding my source
