So, it may be a matter of paying for things in different ways.
No matter how you slice the numbers upstate NY is still tax unfriendly, (Saranac Lake) compared to the Lakes Region of NH.

I get that about the taxes, but what is the overall cost of living comparison? Taxes will depend on one's situation here in NY, as you can get exemptions if you are a veteran, are over 65 and there's Basic STAR.

I will say that you can find some other fine small town in Upstate NY that would most likely be more affordable.
