>DeSantis

is not a better alternative to Trump. He might appear that why right now, but given POTUS I am sure he will be his own Trump.

No one who will deceive immigrants into boarding a plane for unwitting Martha's Vinyard has a moral fiber in their body. In this important attribute, DeSantis is not different than Trump.

Is he running as an independent or a Dem? Because there's no way in hell he'll win the Republican nomination. He's level headed, fact oriented, not a pathological liar, principled, doesn't loath immigrants and fly them around the county under false pretenses for political gain, etc etc. There's no room for a president like that in the Republican Party. All the luck to him, he's going to need it.

Let me be clear, I am not a fan of Sununu. On the other hand, he is not an election denier, and lives primarily in the real world, versus the world of alternative facts that so many Republicans choose to 100% live in these days. Which is why Republicans will NEVER nominate him.

I think people are confusing manufactured homes with modular homes. Manufactured homes include mobile homes, and some of similar construction, but the wheels are only "on" for transport to the site.

Modular homes are built to the same standards and international, state and local codes as homes built on-site. Modular homes are built off-site and financed and depreciate just like a traditionally built on-site home. I have never owned a modular home, but would not hesitate to buy one. I would certainly use modular construction to build a new home. Even a very large, fancy new home.

A mobile home and homes using those same off-site building practices are a depreciating asset that requires different financing, etc.

On the other hand, a modular home, built off-site, but using the same techniques as a standard home: wood studs, drywall, standard plumbing practices, etc, then brought onsite is in some ways better than a home built onsite. It can be financed in the same way, and it is not a depreciating asset. The link to a house in the OP appears to be a link to a module home, not a mobile home or its ilk.

Currently, some very high end, large houses are modular homes. The one in the OP is a very simple, small modular home. Every 5 years or so that goes by the modular homes get nicer and nicer and better built.

Enough Dems and Reps alike have wanted to legalize it in the recent past, Sunono stood in the way. Fortunately, he seems to be just a bit softening lately. There might be hope.

You write this is research and for your thesis, but then ask for volunteers for a survey.

I'm not sure of you're goal or the rigor of the program you're in, but I fear for the success of your effort.

If you're going to use a survey for "research" there's some learning you have to do on construction of, administration of, and results analysis. On the other hand, if you want some non-scientific, feel good fodder you're on the right path.

Good luck.

That's where the people are. Greater Manchester Nashua Salem triangle.

Contrary to what some wrote, the seacoast is the seacoast, not part of Southern NH.

Nor is Concord. That's Central NH.

Life's different in and around the triangle. As it is around the seacoast. As it is Keene way. As it is some Concord. Etc.

That's the way I think of the regions, about lifestyle.

A lot of what the state house puts into law exists to funnel money or minimize competition for siblings, cousins and friends business. Annual auto inspections is that. The fact that NH requires more professional licenses than MA minimizes competition. Etc.

Each Republican majority tries to abide by their Republican principles by eliminating some of this stuff. Alas, their principles take a back seat to doling out favors.

If you think anyone can "hit every bar in Manchester in an evening", you don't know of many of the bars in Manchester.

Also, Manchester has many great "private clubs" which are basically bars for members. Until you're in town and get to know people you won't get into these.

The Boston Globe's Spotlight investigative reporting team (a very highly regarded group, uncovered the Catholic priest shit, WR Grace water pollution, etc, etc - many Pulitzer prizes) wrote a couple of extensive articles on this. The hospital's in deep shit. Fired nurses, denied doctors opportunities etc who reported issues, etc. Covered up lots of issues. Read the articles.

Also to your point, CMC fudged data to make their cardiac center look good.

But hey, to each their own. People should just know what the situation is

There is only one great hospital in NH, DHMC in Lebanon. It happens to be a very beautiful part of the state. If you want a more urban situation consider Boston. Extreme NH emergency patients are sent to DHMC, if not MGH in Boston.

I've had two personal experiences with the ED at Exeter. Both a disaster.

I've lived in a number of cities large NYC, London and small like Manchester, and others you haven't heard of.

By and large, with regard to safely, how one carries themself when out and about in any city matters more than the city and neighborhood they're in. There is no where in Manchester I don't go due to safety concerns.

NH is sufficiently affluent and suburban that a small percentage of the those venturing into Manchester are horrified to see poor people, sometimes living in the street. And they'll lose sleep over being asked for change or a five. Its mostly these folks who give Manchester a bad name and scare other people.

Also, know that almost 10% of the population of NH lives in Manchester, so it's quite different from most of the state: many more people, density, homes, etc etc etc. More. More is often bad to suburbanites.

Outside a few exceptions, this looks like a rich states, poor states chart. Then again, whenever you are D states and R states is aways richer D states and poorer R states. In general, the more R the state is, the more poor.

Pitbulls are the worst and should all be in jail.Don't believe the bullshit about people doing all these school shootings, or blame the guns. Guns don't kill people, Pitbulls using AKs kill children in schools. Every single time. The Pitbull lovers are just creating fake stories that people are using the AKs. Next thing you know they will want to crack down on Pitbulls sneaking over the southern border for all the free Pitbull perks.
The perp...
