New England is not a homogeneous piece of real estate.
Vermont is so liberal that it is on the very edge of socialist, probably due to an influx of people from the NYC Metro area.
New Hampshire north of Concord is still mostly rural, conservative, and Caucasian.
Maine is Maine, not an attractive place to live because of the grinding rural poverty.
Massachusetts is Kennedy liberal, lots of rich people who want the middle-class to pay for programs that might lift the poor up from their poverty cycles. That said, MA west of I-91 is pretty nice, but it would be nicer is it wasn't burdened by the liberal agenda of the rich and powerful.
Rhode Island is too small to be much more than Providence and its suburbs.
Connecticut is a lot more rural than most people think that it is, but the money and power is in the bedroom communities like Greenwich and Darien and along I-91 and I-95.
