Texas is definitely #1, and Florida has been pretty decent lately. But it depends what you're looking for.
Are you looking at living in a city, suburbs, or want a bunch of land without neighbors? Do you prefer hot or cold climates? What kind of industry are you in?
But yeah, there is a TON of opportunity for IT in Boston, but there's also a lot in TX and other places. Salaries will be a bit higher in Massachusetts than places like Texas, but so is cost of living.
If you're planning on working remote, at least half of the time, living in NH and working for an MA company is pretty lucrative. (Just be sure to go 1099 or have the company not deduct MA state income tax from your pay check so when you file with MA, you can deduct WFH_Days / Total Days of earned income from your MA earned income, and pay less state tax. If you let the company deduct from your paycheck, MA is not likely to refund the money anymore.)
If you don't mind the heat, TX is probably your best bet. There is a lot of land for pretty cheap outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area and a lot of IT jobs there. But if you like the weather and or social climate of the north east a bit more, we'd be glad to have more conservatives in NH.
They suck, I am in this Area.....If you can New Hampshire is a freedom state, and thats Mass border.....

Sounds to me like New Mexico is the state for you.
