"I spent 5 minutes reading about something being bad in college, so therefore a solution to an urgent problem that reminds me of that is also bad."

The reason why Manchester is bad is because of the sprawl (among other things). Multi-story apartment buildings are what it needs, and more of them.

You are confused about the differences and separation between the federal and state government. Under the current system, the status of our state legislature does not have much of an impact on the selection of national candidates outside of a process completely unrelated to the presidential primary: the gerrymandering of our congressional districts.

Your first two sections make no sense. Even if the NH primary was later in the cycle (and therefore worth much less), candidates would still approach powerbrokers in this state just like they do everywhere else to try to secure more votes. Even losing candidates want more primary votes because it helps their career if they can post a reasonable showing.

Your section on "debunking the advantages" makes no sense from the perspective of someone in New Hampshire. Of course we want unfair advantages for our state. I want as many unfair advantages as we can get, especially if they come at the expense of people from out of state.

Why would we not want advantages in our state? The political clout does matter a lot because it potentially translates into promises of more federal money than we would otherwise probably get because of the wildly outsized leverage that it grants to our politicians.

I don't really know the right solution to attract more productive young people. A lot of the issue just has to do with the housing stock being inappropriate for what most young people want and can afford, which is a nationwide problem. In our town, we've had one apartment building conversion go well, but the forces of NIMBY defeated another proposed development on the basis that the town needed "more forest." NH's issue isn't necessarily jobs (apart from professional white collar jobs anywhere that isn't the south), but that the housing stock for the productive slices of the population just isn't there.

I moved from NYC about a decade ago and I vote straight GOP every election even when I know the candidate is a criminal, a degenerate, or both.

Yup. Manchester gives the rest of the state a bad name.

This is an issue that only an attorney can help with. It’s not necessarily an issue with the well installer or the town government. But whatever the issue is, only a lawyer can help you here.

Only a jury can determine your percentage of fault in a comparative negligence determination. Talk to a personal injury lawyer. Almost all of them work on contingency, so that means you pay $0 up front, and just pay around a third or less of any settlement or damages award you ultimately get.
