    Not 100% sure? But do you understand that by JACKING people taxes up and many over double, the lawmakers are going to push people right out of New Hampshire!! It happened right here in NJ. ONLY the wealthy could afford to purchase/buy a home down here and afford the taxes. NH is going to run all those hard working families who were getting by, paycheck to paycheck and force them to leave. Not only that, their paychecks are revenue and spent in little towns and communities every day, such as groceries, utilities, cars, etc... When people leave, SO DOESN'T THE MONEY! and the local economy goes to $#!T. I've seen it in many places I lived in while in the Military. Here is another example; There are 20 homes on my block that USED to be occupied year round. When taxes went up, people fled, sold out and now there are only 4 homes that are year round residents! The other 16 families are gone and the other places are now "Air-B&B's".

    Here's another thought Warner , My wife and I would have spent 50K EASY in the local communities up there, maybe more, NOT in taxes but things like eating out, furniture, and everyday things. Now, I won't spend a dime!! That money I would have spent would go to people's paychecks and support local economies. If everything stays, as what just happened with my taxes, NH can kiss my A$$~ Forever.... West Virginia is looking good now, REAL good!

    No thanks I’m happy where I’m at and intend to die here, I honestly hope you find a place that makes you feel that way as well. It’s too short of a ride…

    I feel similar to you. I just wish the bleeding hearts running this state would worry as much about things being affordable for taxpayers as they do about things being affordable for illegals.

    Hey, brother...maybe a bit farther south...
    Our property taxes went up some this year too...:mad::headbang:...if it was spent responsibly, maybe it wouldn't be so bad...

    This is what we pay on...
    2 acres...our double wide and sheds, lots of road frontage
    2 acres...dad's wood shop and buildings
    County road frontage
    1.14 acres beside the wood shop, undeveloped, road frontage

    In the family estate, we pay 1/4 of taxes...
    2 acres beside wood shop with old house...road frontage
    89 acres in conservation program

    Total bill was a shade less than $970...


    There are some properties in our county with very nice houses and acres that are...o_Oo_O:faint:

    Problem is; Those BLEEDING hearts are bleeding you!! And, they give everything FREE to the Illegals on the backs of us! I would love to be in New Hampshire, but Sadly it's turning into TAXACHUTTESES. Socialism DOES NOT WORK! Tax and spend DOES NOT WORK!

    T., Your a bit to south for me. I almost bought down in South Carolina years back when I was stationed in Charleston, We actually found some land with an old home inland near Lake Moultrie, Taxes were very cheap but what stopped me was the 98º heat and humidity and the Skeeters were as big as B-29's and had a 50 caliber bite!!! :eek: Nasty Bast@rds!! THEN, I happened to fine me some "Fire ants":picard:. I'm NOT going there now..... :pain:
