new hampshire is new england’s staten island, it’s where all the people who want to leech off city money without having to pay for it or interact with brown people live.

NH is a donor state at the federal level, i.e. they send more to the govt than they receive in transfer payments. You can look it up.

NH's main industry is tourism and it doesn't have its own major airport. "the cultural and systemic benefits of nearby city density" wasn't as pithy.

What makes you think Staten Island leeches off money? It's nickname is the "forgotten borough" since it does not receive its fair share. Can't really argue the inherent racism here, though. Plenty of flack to throw our way, no need to call us cheap, too.
