Way back when NH used to be an inexpensive state to live in.
Now it is right up there with other states and some who have relocated are realizing it cost more to live here then it did where they came from.
I know when my mom moved to Nashua from Mass. She said it was a lot more expensive between the increased car registration and property taxes then she paid in Mass.
NH doesn’t have a sales or income tax so it all comes from property taxes and car registrations. And the towns are raising there portion on auto registrations every year and we all know where property taxes are going.
