Reply to comment by raxnbury in Massholes are moving north to NH at record levels by EgonEggnog

I mean when referencing "things to do" and denser housing, historically that's how NH been. It's really only been the past 60 years that housing has been so far from jobs and you need a car to get around.

But as a young person I guess I'm proving your point...

This is something that doesn't get talked about enough most our towns where denser until suburbanization rolled in and then closed the development gate behind them while also inexplicable not allowing towns and city center to keep it's density. Then we pretend we lived in the woods but most of us live in suburbs and depend on suburban amenities for goods and services.

Yep! If you're not a subsistence farmer you need at least a grocery store near you. Single use zoning is far more uncommon than I wish it was in NH

“Pretend we live in the woods” sums up so many of the social and economic problems.
