Episode-2710- Carla Gericke on Strategic Relocation to New Hampshire — 6 Comments

  1. Jack,

    You have never been anti conspiracy. You have often said just enough to reveal yourself as a bit of a closet conspiracy type. At any rate, conspiracy theorists have exploded and I can tell from the few Facebook people I know who where never conspiracy types before. You could do a whole show on that.

     I was actually kicked off some fairly large Facebook group for just questioning QAnon which is a peculiar anonymous source that never reveals any really unknown stuff and whom serious conspiracy people have never followed whatsoever

    Carla should get into what parts of NH have lower property taxes and she never got much into zoning either which always seems difficult to figure out because it varies alot for each town. Some people tell me that property taxes are lower in some areas but my impression has been that many areas it’s fairly high.

     

  2. One of the zoning law things I discovered was in limmerick Maine which is close to the NH border and not super far from Massachusetts. It was about 3 acres of land for 9k. You could camp on the land in an RV but only for 90 days out of the year and not in the winter. I almost bought that lot but then right before I signed the papers I found out that any permanent structure had to be at least 700 square feet. If I was going to put a structure on there then I would need to improve the road and put in a full septic. The total cost of all that looked to be about 60k or more. I ended up buying 11 acres much further north for about 16k and spending maybe 15k for a yurt and storage container which is where my camp is, I forget the details exactly but it was something like that. Many parts of NH or southern Maine are much easier to get to but figuring out all the details seems complicated to go through. The town in southern Maine where I almost bought the lot gave me deceptive and bad information originally. Even further up in Maine I was hearing stuff that sounded agenda 21ish like they approved my building permit just before these other weird zoning laws where going into effect and I saw articles on that too. On the other hand, there is some yurt company in that area that as far as I know is out there putting up yurts so I find the details of how everything works in different areas complicated and time consuming to try to decipher

    • Here’s a thought… do any of the localities in question define a yurt/ger as a ‘permanent structure’? I imagine they wouldn’t unless they were eating lead paint chips. As such, they might be a good alternative for some as a way to turn the tables and get around certain local restrictions. They’re no perfect substitute for a nice house (big or small), but they’re certainly preferable to most trailers or fifth wheels and they’re a great option for guests.

      Also… $15K for a yurt/ger in the US? If the demand is that good for them, maybe I should be buy up some of the higher-quality ones in Mongolia and ship ’em all over in a container… 🙂

  3. I was behind her until she seemed more interested in pot rallies and blocking cops than getting people to move to NH. I believe every cop has an obligation to know the law. But keeping drunks and drugs off the road are key to community safety. I might get behind legalization of pot and alcohol provided my tax dollars don’t go to funding treatment programs for abusers.

    • Wow so you are terrified of freedom then?

      As to this, “I was behind her until she seemed more interested in pot rallies and blocking cops than getting people to move to NH.”

      Sounds to me like you never paid any attention to “her” then as I first met her in 2011 and nothing has ever changed about what she says or does. Not a thing, zero. Most of the story she told is from 7 years ago.

      “I might get behind legalization of pot and alcohol provided my tax dollars don’t go to funding treatment programs for abusers.”

      Well they don’t now already. Instead your tax dollars fund locking them up and selling them as slave labor via a fascist prison system funded by tax dollars and populated via the state court system but run and profited upon by private industry. So the condition you set already exists.
