Northern New England will have to get its heroin problem under control before it will be appealing to the “remote programmer moving to rural area for peace and quiet and lower cost of living.”

I don't think drug problems have really hindered the gentrification of SF or NYC. And we are talking way bigger quantities and associated violence than jobless rednecks in rural Vermont.

Per capita, it’s much worse in the northeast than in SF or NYC.

I live in a rural area with similar neighbors. Their drug habits have never been a problem for me.

Some parts of vermont are very nice and the people are progressive. They have a drug problem in major cities but what else is new.

Right and the massive homeless/drug problem in California is preventing folks from moving to SF.

It's not the only reason, but that's one of the reasons why I won't move to SF.

There are a lot of reasons why I won't move to a lot of places. Mainly, they're money-related, but it's a big world, and it often pays to be somewhat selective regarding the location issues that concern you most.

The tech scene seems to be booming in Manchester, NH, so that can't be the only factor.
