You know what? I’m going to eat my hat a bit on this. I had read the Vice article someone else mentioned on this thread not too long ago (my sister owns an ice cream shop, and we were discussing this very issue) and I remembered it as having actual evidence in it. It does not, and coupled with other articles I’ve just read, it is likely not true.

I’ve lived in Concord for almost 20 years at this point, and it’s amazing how far it’s come from the mid 2000’s. There are a lot of interesting places to eat, great community events, good hiking trails, great public parks and pools, decent mix of small/local retail and big box stores, and you’re less than 90 mins from Boston, and about 2 hours from Burlington VT and Portland, ME. Cons: not a ton of available affordable housing/real estate, and the schools aren’t as good as they used to be. Dover and Portsmouth are lovely, too - closer to the ocean, but higher cost of living. It’s a wonderful state, though - I hope you join us here!
