The Free State initiativs i terests me, too.
My friend recently retired, and having always wanted to live in New England’s snow country, will be buying property in NH.
DH and I examined the idea of NH, but honestly, I dont want the winters. Still, there are many intriguing things about it—4 seasons, historic srchitecture, lack of urban societal problems. Probably the opiod issue makes up for the latter.
