As for New Hampshire, Texas has no sales tax, either, but its real estate taxes made Boston's high real estate taxes look very low. So, either New Hampshire's real estate taxes make up for lack of income and sales tax or the state does not provide much to its citizens or the state is somehow very inexpensive to run. I cannot think of a fourth alternative, but I don't believe in magic.
