  - NH gets nearly 2/3 of its revenue from property taxes
No sales or income tax will get you that. I sold my house and went back to renting because my town doubled my already ludicrously high property taxes.

Won't you still be (indirectly) paying property tax, as your landlord needs to recoup?

Yes but you can get below market rents from owners who don’t have a mortgage to pay.

Landlords are price takers. They respond to the market by setting rent at the highest anyone will pay them. Of course they might decide to sell, but if they dont then they cant just raise rent whenever they face a supply shock.
