I'm a native New Englander.
I spent most of my life as a Masshole in the state of Massivetwoshits. The place is pretty much a fucking toilet.
There are many nice places in MA, but generally, as a state, the place fucking sucks because of excessive taxation, stupid laws, extremely difficult gun laws, high insurance rates, excessive high rents/cost of living & an excessively & unneccesary concentration of third world & spanish speaking scum invading every city.
I've lived in Maine for some time.. beautiful place. a bit more relaxed, though portland is a shithole & I can't tell you much about their taxes, laws as I haven't lived there that long, but home prices are great there.
Vermont is wonderful... relaxed & virtually no gun laws
CCW w/ no permit required. Relaxed, stress free living.. very low home prices.. alot of snooty people who think their shit don't stink though,,,
Rhode Island is a mostly spanish speaking ghetto.. fucking shithole & half.. don't bother.
New Hampshire is great.. virtually tax free, relaxed gun laws, many wonderful areas although like every state, has it's own shitholes as well & seems the scum that took over the rest of New England have started sending their scouts up north in search of new territory to take over & ruin.
