Summary
In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, essential workers like police officers and firefighters are being priced out of the very cities they serve. With skyrocketing rents and a shrinking housing supply, even those with solid salaries can’t afford to live locally—forcing many to commute hours each way. Departments have dropped residency rules because few candidates can stay nearby, weakening community ties and making recruitment harder. For public servants who love their towns, this is a painful reality: they’re working to protect their neighborhoods, but can no longer call them home.
