I actually started to take a close look at the Free State Project and relocating to NH but with the outrageous property taxes and what you describe it looks like there are other parts the country more ripe for such a movement.Originally Posted by Brian4Liberty
It still is NOT her property. In a condo, you don't own the common areas. You typically don't even own the outside of your walls. At least with a HOA you OWN your yard even though you have agreed not to do certain things with it. The land where she has planted the flowers is owned by someone else. She never owned it.
It is as if I planted flowers on my neighbor's lawn and then pitch a fit because my neighbor wants me to remove them.
The proper concern of society is the preservation of individual freedom; the proper concern of the individual is the harmony of society.

No, actually it is as if you planted flowers on your neighbor's lawn after getting permission from them and then they later sued you for thousands of dollars.

NH is great! You have to do your research before you move...some towns are higher in taxes than others. The thing is, when you look at it like that you will know who are like-minded people in that town just by the taxes. You have no state income tax, lower excise and no sales tax on merchandise.
Over all, NH is cheaper than most New England states to live. The first year my family moved from Maine to New Hampshire we saved $5000.00.

That person isn't in NH and he wasn'ttalking about NH. As for Portsmouth, it is definitely a Democratic city. There is one libertarian Republican on the city council, though. The property taxes are highest in NH in Rockingham County, where Portsmouth is located. It is the most statist county in NH. It has 20 or so miles of coastline, all located in Rockingham County. Portsmouth is on the ocean.
Outside of the 13 cities in NH, the people in the towns decide their property taxes to a great deal by voting on expenses in town meetings. Some rural parts of NH have no property taxes. Some places in NH have very high property taxes, like Hanover (a college town.) If you want to live in NH and pay little property taxes, move somewhere with little or no property taxes. You could also move to a trailer, RV or rent with others. For example, you can buy a duplex for less than $200,000 and rent out half of it. That will be enough to cover your mortgage and property taxes. If you are single or just a couple without kids, you can rent a room from someone else. In all of NH you can rent a room from someone else for $300 to $400. Some people pay even less than that.
Of course, taxes overall are low in NH compared to just about any other state. I don't pay any NH income taxes. I don't pay a general NH sale tax on anything expect when I get a drink at a bar. NH has the lowest alcohol taxes in the US. It has the 2nd lowest gas tax (18 cents per gallon, I think) in the Northeast. It has the lowest tobacco taxes in New England and perhaps near the lowest in the Northeast. Traffic fines are low in NH compared to most states. NH is also called the richest state enough though there is no minimum wage for most workers. NH just uses whatever the feds say, there is no need for a state min. wage.

Why does the law allow us to sue for thousands more than the actual damages cost?
What's wrong with a brand new woman?
No, actually it is like your neighbor gave you permission to plant flowers on their property even though you both knew that they would be moving away shortly and when the new owner asked you to remove your flowers from their lawn, you, being a total douchenozzle, said no and got your assed properly sued for trespass and deserve what you get.
