Epic snowstorm reveals epic asshat OP who thinks the world revolves around them. When someone disagrees they go on attack. Got it.

Oh please. I've lived in NH for close to 40 years. We've endured 4 and 5 days of no power. I've had my hot water pipes for heat freeze (and break). 48 hours won't kill you.

What they need are dorm-style accommodations, on the bus line so people can get to town to work. They've had opportunities to do that out where we were in Provincetown. Nope. The Air Force Base would be perfect except for the (so I'm told) pollution/toxic nature of the area. The old school atop the hill would have been great. Heck the development between Cumberland & Stop & shop could have been dorm style but they chose apartments. Not the best use of square footage IMO. But hey build that shiny new police department! The problem in Ptown is too many very wealthy 2nd (and 3rd) homeowners and VRBOs. There's not much left for the townies. We left after looking to buy back in '13 because we started to sense that our landlord wanted to cash out.
Everyone is clutching their pearls while they bitch about restaurants & bars being understaffed OR they're bitching because the kids from eastern block countries are "taking 'murican jobs" (not true). Meanwhile seasonal workers live in what's available, often really run down with questionable sanitation/hygiene facilities and sketchy as hell. I'm thinking of that "motel" in Truro that I believe was shut down a while back. The dark dirty secret of tourist towns. But hey, gotta have that Cosmo right?

It’s awful. We lived on the Outer Cape. Rent was insane IF you could find a place. Year round was even worse. At the time the cheapest single family in town was a year down for 350k on barely enough land for the building and a parking spot. Came up to SW NH and got a home for half that that want a tear down and had .2 acres.

SW New Hampshire is where it's at. You'd be stunned at what you can buy.

Solid advice. Nobody is going to hand anyone anything. You gotta grind and work for it. While all our friends were living up to their means and beyond (and still are) in the McMansions, buying new everything and taking vacations we were socking more than 30% of our salary away and living well below our means in a modest home we owned outright. About a year ago we closed on a 4BR/3bath home on 2 acres. We both retired and are now living the dream.

The home shortage is nationwide and has been for a very long time. I'd go so far as to say the early 2000s.

Bradford/Warner and you can hit Concord. Or Grantham and you can hit Lebanon. Gotta tell you this side of NH doesn't have the nightlife that perhaps Manchester or Nashua would have, or have access to (Boston).

Alrighty. I got curious about this poster, something didn't set right with me.
We've got ourselves a troll. A dive into the post history gives us exactly the same complaint only over on the GA board. That post is 20 days old. The rest of their post history? More of the same whinging.

10.15%? That was a deal. We had 12% and were thrilled to get it after seeing rates as high as 18%.

It IS insane even to those of us idiots who refuse to move to warmer climates who were born here.

Yup. A few years ago they had to cancel something because they had too much snow. For an event that required (wait for it)...snow.

And if you want to complain about a crappy grid system? Move to TX.
