Unboxing New Hampshire: What It's Like Living In New Hampshire

  • Does everyone in New Hampshire hate people from Massachusetts?
    Is everyone in New Hampshire a libertarian?
    And is everyone here white?
    We’ll answer those questions and talk about a lot more! So let’s hop in the car - but we don’t have to wear our belts! Cause we’re drive through and Unbox the state of New Hampshire!
    Okay so this looks pretty charming. A neat little town tucked away into the forests. The kind of place where they know your coffee order by heart, and where you can probably get all the local gossip from the maple syrup guy. This is the REAL America, mister. Before it got all screwed up. Of course, nowhere is perfect, and we’ll get to that, too.
    New Hampshire sure doesn’t look like much, but it’s actually the 42nd most populous state. There’s actually big cities and stuff to do. I mean, it’s not ALL plaid flannel jacket wearing crotchety gun loving forest dwellers.
    It’s beautiful. It’s safe. Kinda boring and very independent. To get a well-rounded view of this state, we need to look at the whole place and then visit each different area. Then we’ll know what New Hampshire is REALLY like.
    This is New Hampshire. As you can see, most of the state is heavily forested with small towns scattered throughout, and most of the population and entertainment is on the southern end of the state. But we’re going to begin up here first. Northern New Hampshire is kinda like Alabama with snow.

    The best part about NH aside from the fact that every single town has a state run liquor store is the “Live Free or Die” motto. It’s just objectively more badass than every other state motto.

      The one complaint I always had with NH liquor stores, the worst hours ever. Some locations close at 8 or 9pm, many others at like 5 or 6pm. Seriously, same hours guys for all locations and it shouldn't close that early. But at least I can get beer and wine anywhere.

They looked at me weird since I didn't take mine off, and reminded me I didn't have to wear mine there. I told them that it was ok, if we got in an accident, I would just stay with the car and make sure everything was alright.

      There should be a way for older people to exempt themselves from property taxes, but the taxes are low compared to states with many tax streams, because when you have 1 tax you pay attention to it. It's also a tax that is more or less depending on what your local government is doing, which you have more control over than state level taxation. And, everyone pays it, renters, home owners, and businesses.

    I live in NH! 'Trashua' specifically. Although that only really describes the downtown portion of Nashua. Much of the rest of the city is very quaint and suburban. For three summers now I have been trying to buy a house in southern NH, but the real estate is becoming a crises here for first time home buyers. I can afford up to $350K, but every single house I bid on I am outbid and I lose even if I waive inspection (because everyone is doing that right now). A ton of people are coming to NH, and no one is leaving, driving the prices through the roof.
    Hoping I get lucky this summer and can snag a house somewhere in Merrimack, Londonderry, Hudson, Litchfield, Nashua. Then get a vacation lake house in the much cheaper VT lol.

      Dude I'm from Nashua and it's been a lot better than it was in the past 10 but prior to that it was bad really bad. French Hill, the tree streets Pine, Vine and crime, the cops were currupt, the Latin kings presence and the opiate crisis. Yeah Nashua is a real gem!

    As is always the case, growth spurs expansion growth and Rochester and Somersworth are benefiting from Dovers growth. Lot’s of building going up up there and more jobs. The great thing about the seacoast area is that lake Winnie is 40 minutes away and the ocean is 35 minutes away.

    Live Free or Die!!!!!!! I miss NH, I lived up that way a few different times in the early 2000s. 6 months in a tent on the side of a mountain. 3 months on my sister's couch. So on and so forth. Mt. Washington is dope, I climbed up to the top with my brother and when my son is a little bit older we will be doing that

    You did a really nice job with this video, Nick. Anthony and Chase sure know their state well! Also, nice touch with the Heathcliff theme song. I'm glad you mentioned Mount Washington. The train ride to the top is half the fun! I do wish you had said something about the state liquor and wine outlets, as they are one of New Hampshire's quirks. I can't help but agree with you about people from New Hampshire's making a lot of sense politically. Two of my favorite presidential candidates in recent years have been Ron Paul and Tulsi Gabbard--both of whom were very popular in New Hampshire.
