The reason that there aren't "many businesses" in Hillsborough is because Hillsborough's town charter and zoning law specifically prohibits it. No sidewalks either (I don't live in Hillsborough but literally across the street). If I had the bucks I would most likely live in Hillsborough - at least I can ride my bike/drive/walk thru it. :) Forbes needs to either rewrite or do a bit more research prior to publication.
