Recelntly avalable property to build on in some towns around the New Hampsire seacoast is getting hard to find I heard a couple of years back a town rep in Hampton talking about the very last buildable lot in Hampton that had not yet been used and what to do with it. There is a severe housing shortage in my area so we need to build more. One overlooked solution to this issue is un locking land locked land. There is allot of it in hampton and the surrounding towns and there is an abandoned rail line cutting threw thousends of acres of it. This rail line is now a hiking trail but what if we make it a road instead? it runs from Portsmouth NH to Newburyport Mass so there would be tons of newly developable land up for grabs not to mention a new roadway that could bypass the most congested sections of rout 1 like seabrook (to many stoplights, they keep adding more! no more lights pleas!). The other benifit would be the largest construction boom this area has ever seen. This idea probably won't go anyware, to many people love the walking trail and environmentalists would have a fit but its interesting none the less.
