So close, and yet so far.

I am the Drum Major for ... the movement to dissuade people from moving to Florida. Or Texas. New Hampshire actually has a better tax structure - no sales tax; no income tax; better estate tax + moving funds through to family. Buy a big coastal house from Portsmouth to the Maine border. Or North Conway.

Yeah, retiring and dieing at my house in VT makes little sense compared to doing so in NH.

 

[the Q]

Connecticut is so backward in regards to growth. I grew up in Barkhamsted and the people up there still fight any type of growth economically, like it is just going to magically appear without any give and take. Even eco-tourism with the Farmington River and trails. So many people are stuck in the past. I agree though Skiblets, if we are hitching our wagon to In-N-Out Burgers coming Connecticut will never move forward.

Dude, I grew up in a town that legit has 3 stoplights that are not highway related.

They have fought tooth and nail even now to not allow even a single drive thru in town. It is wild.

 

[the Q]

I didn’t say that 84 was built “on racial grounds“. What I did say is that it’s impact is greater on minorities (due to the racial composition of Hartford vs the burbs).

I didn’t write the infrastructure bill, nor did I vote it into law, but if it is looking to address racial in equities in infrastructure, Hartford squarely meets that definition and the state should seek out and gain funding for remediating that issue (aka I-84 big dig.)

Connecticut taxpayers pay their share of taxes, and then some. This is one of those instances where we are entitled to get some money back. It would be foolish not to take advantage of that. If you have a minute, drop your senators and congressmen an email to let them know that.

I’m confused. How are we getting money back?

But the property taxes are brutal.

Rich people can afford the complex estate planning to offset the difference

Property taxes aren‘t brutal in NH (relative to Massachusetts) if you own a house in a predominantly second home community. Thus, the school age population is small relative to the number of homes in the town.
