Goldwater's a great organization. I used to know Darcy Olsen when we were both at Cato (20 years ago!). Anyway, I see you have PM'ed me, and I'll reply by e-mail. Thanks for your interest.

The Praxeum is in Portsmouth, so it's a hub. https://freecoast.org/ But the city itself is extremely expensive and tightly zoned with high property taxes and some really bad politicians. Most Free Staters live in nearby towns rather than the city itself.
Same goes for Hanover, really, although Hanover is less densely populated and it really gets quite rural away from the College and the retail areas of Lebanon. We live in Lyme, the town just to the north, though probably not long-term. Ultimately, we'd like to live in a place like Croydon, about 35 minutes from the College. |

Welcome, Liam! It sounds as if you've been doing your homework.
The first thing I'd recommend is to visit before making the move. You'll get a feel for the different parts of the state and where you might want to live. That said, my guess is that Plymouth would tick off most of your boxes. They have big box stores, reasonably fast Internet, and I expect municipal water & sewer. I don't believe Plymouth has natural gas connections, though, so you'd be on oil for heat. Like most of NH, it's extremely safe. Politically, it's dominated by the college and isn't too friendly, so property taxes are high and so are zoning regulations. If you go to any of the neighboring towns (like, say, Rumney), you get away from those problems, but then you're likely on well & septic. In case you haven't come across it in the deluge of information, here is a link to a spreadsheet with data on NH towns.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/933sduyc5mljmgt/nhtowns15.xls?dl=0 |

Hey RidleyReport,
The answer is yes and no. The public (Mobilizer) accounts, where users can gather followers and make posts about legislation is on the web. The private (Apptivist) accounts, where users are limited to iOS devices via the app at the moment. We will be making an android version as soon as possible. If you are at all interested in posting public legislation alerts, I'd love to get your feedback on how the web side of the app works. You can use the code WEVVVVK to set up your account when signing up at www.apptivism.us . Cheers! |

I'm a 50-something fuddy-duddy, and I like a quiet peaceful area, so as far as location I am going to stay away from the Keene State College area, the high school, and the police station which seems to be to the far right on the map/satellite images. And I also think I'll stay away from the major shopping center areas. I hope this isn't in bad taste, or insulting, but are there particular neighborhoods or streets that I probably should stay away from? For example, I have read that the drug problem (opiates, etc.) is also in Keene. Are there specific streets where that is a problem? I hope I haven't offended anyone.

I just wanted to know people's solutions to how federal programs should work and which ones we should have (Police,Fire,Court,Etc).

Hello all,
My fiance and I have been following the Free State project for a couple years, and only now did we realize the website had a forum section. Feel free to make your preferred disapproving gestures At any rate we're both registered Libertarians who've escaped the communist madhouse of California that we were born in and are at the moment holed up in Arkansas. We've recently had the good fortune of both of us acquiring jobs that are work from home, so our living location is no longer tied to our work provided we have a stable internet connection. With that in mind, we've been doing research on making the move and while the Free State Project's moving guide and the links provided within it have been immensely helpful (and very well put together/high quality, my compliments!), I'll admit we're getting a little lost in the deluge of information available and were wondering if we could get some help sorting some stuff out below.A lot of what we're attempting to sort through is standard housing-related stuff and feel free to just point us to a realtor if it's more appropriate. I'll bullet point the list below so it's easier to read and isn't a wall of text. For the record, we're fully expecting a "pick a few of these features or a few of these, but not all" situation.
I apologize for the long post, even with the formatting to make it look nicer; and thank you in advance to anyone who read it all. We look forward to making the move in about a year or so when we have some money saved up; and to any replies to this posting in the meantime! Sincerely, Liam Hagerty |
