New Hampshire - 8/18/2009
We have lived in NH now for about 12 years, coming back here after being away in the military for approximately seven years. It has changed considerably, and the property taxes are unreal. The economy, while being bad everywhere right now, is probably worse here. There have been breaking and entering and stealing, malicious mischief. Things are not good here. We would like to go to Kingman, Az and either build on land we have there, or move into the city and sell our land. But we need to get more info. Anyone thinking of moving here may not find a job, and your mortgage, while being low, will rise from the taxes. lots of rain this year too, more than

Growing to fast - 8/21/2008
We live in Central NH and since moving here in 2001 we have noticed that we are becoming more and more like Southern California. Crime, gangs, more and more tear down the trees and build houses. We love the climate, except for this past winter and this summer. Snow as above records and this summer we have had a years worth of rain in 2 months. Contrary to what some have said about "New Englanders'" they are friendly and nice. But, due to the economy we will be on the move again.
