The joke is that if you live in New Hampshire and commute to Boston your overall tax burden and cost of living ends up higher than it would have been if you just stayed in "Taxachusetts".

Yes, a joke made by people who don't understand that you'll be living in a house that's 2 or 3 times the size of the one you left in MA.

No one making that move cares that they will pay an extra $5k in property taxes per year.

The "joke" sounds like copium from people who don't understand.

Bro you are taking this very personally. Almost sounds like you spend a lot of time sitting in traffic on I-93 rationalizing your life choices.

I work from home, and I live in my dream house. I've worked in both NH and MA, so I have like 15 years of experience with this exact situation.

You can assume whatever you wish!
