For example, where I live it would not even cross somebody's mind that they have the power to stop a neighbor from having chickens or farm animals, shooting guns, growing gardens, erecting fencing and out-buildings of their choice, etc. So while some transplants may influence towns to take on laws and policies and regulations that resemble the craphole they came from, there are still plenty of towns where this will not be the case.

We noted a lot of what you are saying when we first started looking in southern NH. However, after a few years of looking around we found exactly what we wanted in Sandwich. So far, based on everyone we have met and everything we have seen it looks like it will stay that way in the foreseeable future.
