New Hampshire Number 3 Best State To Live In…Again.

Live Free or DieWe see these quality of life polls often, the most recent from CNBC, but regardless of the source, New Hampshire is always well ranked.  Being in the top three is not uncommon. The two who seem to beat us?  Vermont is always number two, and Hawaii is always number one.

I can’t speak to their methodology – being ‘insured’ seems to weigh heavy on their calculus–some folks just pay cash or choose to pay as they go which means they are pro-choise when it comes to health insurance.  You’d expect that to get you bonus points but it does not.  And Vermont, which is more free when it comes to gun ownership than New Hampshire, consistently beats us, so favoring wildly socialist schemes must simply have more weight than choice (including gun choice) unless it is the choice to not see a pregnancy to term.

New Hampshire is touted, rightly, as being one of the safest and healthiest states in the nation (year after year), which is summarily and perennially ignored by our own brand of socialist central planners (see Democrats) when they try to crank up the interference or grab at our guns.

One thing the report did mention that had me wondering was our “lack of local attractions’ and air quality.  Maybe we don’t have enough planned parenthood offices?

As for air quality, they focus on the south-eastern part of the state.  Not sure that’s legitimate but there are a lot of Liberals over that way who an’t keep their mouths shut.

Note: This poll reports that NH was #9 last year so there must be another poll that ranked us higher.  I’ll see if I can go find it.
