I moved to NH with the free state project in 2013.
That has a certain connotation to it now, because a lot of people who moved really sort of just flailed their arms around and made a performative scene. Still do.
What made me come back, and stay, were the people who got in deep and changed things. A lot of freedoms here the loud ones talk about that were unlocked by the quiet ones.

Whats your favorite part of living there?
A lot honestly. Biggest for me is the personal freedoms, and they’re growing over time instead of shrinking. The FSP pushes that along, but people in NH were already freedom loving before. No sales / income tax, no seatbelt / motorcycle helmet laws are like hardcoded here.
Nice nature, lots of things to do.
Good, outdoorsy, freedom loving people. Low concentration of busy bodies. Feel very normal doing a bit of homesteading, growing apples, raising chickens, tapping for maple syrup. Only wanted to raise my kids here.
Lived in the gulag state to the south for a bit. Trips to the NH mountains were reenergizing. Had a great time at Gunstock mountain.
Ah I grew up there. The contrast is much, much more stark post covid.
