Why Live in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire is Awesome!
On a more factual level, however, this project has given me more reasons to take pride in my state and stay here forever. With it being the 3rd safest state out of all of the nation and having no sales tax I'm surprised that more people don't move here! However many more people move to Canada because of its more welcoming ways for immigrants. All of these categories, however, influence how people think about their region or a region they've wanted to move to. I also think it is important for people to investigate their desired region before moving so to avoid wasting money and time.
