Reply to Potentially Moving to NH by fallenelf

This may be obvious but the closer you are to the highways(especially 93/293/Everett turnpike) the more expensive houses will be. Not sure what you're budget is but expect to pay at least $400k.

The further away from the highways you can get, and especially north of concord the prices will start to drop with some exceptions.

Whats more important to you, accessibility to the lakes and mountains or Boston?

You should be able to find some school rankings online to give you an idea of what's good or not

I am a new customer so I had to call them to get my account number. I called in the morning and the wait was only 15 min which wasn't terrible. I have had no troubling logging in, but I have only had an account under the new system.

As long as you don't have to go to Logan during rush hour it shouldn't be too bad.

$400k is gonna be about the minimum to find a house south of concord these days. You should be able to find something decent in your price range

Reply to comment by RFausta in Dam controversy: After Bow pond drained, some residents hope to leave the future up to beavers by DethKnotWurst

There are house abutting the downstream wetland only a few hundred feet from the dam. Not saying they're at risk necessarily, but a dam suddenly letting go does have the potential to cause issues downstream.

My comment about people was intended to be primarily directed at the bridge and the immediate area though. The bridge and trail are used by a lot more than just snowmobilers.

Probably because the bridge is located on a class vi town road. Relocating the bridge would be prohibitively expensive assuming another suitable location could even be found. From the pictures in the article, it is clear the dam had grown higher than the bridge and if it let go during a spring flood it could take out the bridge, part of the road, any people in the area and could cause other issues downstream. There are obviously 2 sides to every story

Reply to Personalized license plates by Several_Acadia

It used to be a lot cheaper to have a vanity plate in nh than mass. The price increased from $25/yr to $40/yr in 2010. Its $50/yr in mass for reference.

So it probably started out because it was relatively inexpensive and now it's a cultural thing
