House Bill 631 requires cities and towns to allow multi-family residential development in commercial zones – with some restrictions allowing for the possibility of "mixed-use" housing development
House Bill 577 allows property owners in New Hampshire to construct detached accessory dwelling units, building on the 2016 law that first permitted attached versions of those units by right.
House Bill 2, the budget trailer bill, requires reviews by the Department of Transportation and Department of Environmental Services to be completed within 60 days.
House Bill 457 prohibits cities or towns from creating zoning ordinances that restrict the number of residents to one person per unit; under that new law, each municipality must allow at least two.
Senate Bill 188 allows homeowners to use third-party inspectors to conduct inspections of housing developments.
Senate Bill 282 allows buildings up to four stories tall to feature just one stairwell.
Senate Bill 281 requires municipalities to allow construction of homes on Class VI roads — provided the landowner signs a document acknowledging that the city is not going to maintain those roads, while House Bill 296 would provide a new pathway for land use boards to approve construction on private roads.
And Senate Bill 284 stops cities and towns from requiring any more than one parking space per unit for residential construction.

To clarify a few things: the comments were on an article from a New Hampshire newspaper. The page in that last screenshot had a lot of strange comments, such as calling her a Blackstone globalist, a RINO, etc. These bills don’t mandate that this type of housing be built, but they give developers and property owners the option to do so.
I’m not from there but any free-staters care to weigh on this? Is housing in NH really an issue? Are there too many people moving into NH? How big of a deal is MASSing up New Hampshire?
