Wow. I can't agree with them!! I moved from #8 Massachusetts to #13 New Hampshire but due to health and financial reasons I had to move back to Mass.... but, I was MUCH happier in NH!! It is much quieter and calmer, people are way more polite in New Hampshire! There is ALOT more forestry and beaches.... I wonder where the heck they get their numbers!!??
