While NH has no state income tax. the property taxes and others are quite high and social services are lacking. Abortion rights have been put on the table by republican politicians multiple times and we have a republic Governor for now. please keep that in mind. What is available today may not be available tomorrow. The gay community is welcome here for the most part along with the rest of New England. Anyplace in New England a more progressive than Florida, but I would suggest Massachusetts over NH. Better schools, better medicine, decent social services, mass transit, small towns and big cities. But NH has the White Mountains and the Lakes Region to brag about which keeps me here. Vermont is VERY progressive, but is quite cold and border patrol has made a bit of a mess in some areas that abut Canada.
