Welcome to Medieval times. You are bound to the land.

#3 From a SC colleague:

South Carolina is being inundated with people from primarily the NE (Mass, NJ, NY, etc.). They sell their normal 3 bedroom ranch home up north, which they own outright, at riduculously high prices, - 1/2 - 1 million dollars cash - and flock here and buy homes for cash, driving home prices up so high that locals cannot compete for them. Behind us, here on our property, they are building, right now, almost 1,000 new homes on what was farmer's fields. I can't sell and move, even though we would make a lot of money on our house, because we cannot afford to buy a replacement-in-kind house. This (poorly named) "Yankee Tax" is an effort to stem the flood of people who are taking over the state. They also will eventually turn the state purple, then blue, as they tend to bring their liberal values and voting with them.

#4 1,000 new homes on what was farmer's fields

Rezoning isn't done by the Yankees. That's all presently local power. You just need to copy the SanFran model of obstructing 'new' housing. Running developers out of the county on a wooden rail after appropriate application of tar and feathers is a start.

#5 /\ Spot on P2k! OBTW, Cousin Joey owns the land clearing and timber business and uncle Eddie builds houses. We'll need to build a new school, and....

Nasty old Yankees. Nasty, nasty, nasty.

#8 Jack up registration fees for out-of-state vehicles.
Force a safety inspection for any oos vehicle prior to registration.
Fees for new resident driver's tests and licenses.
Higher road use tax on fueling oos vehicles.
Higher 'processing' sales tax with oos ID.
Higher property taxes for out of staters.

Lots of ways to nickle and dime'em.

#11 Do these Yankees bring useful skills? Are they employable? Will they pay taxes. Purchase goods and services?

I too fear Texas turning blue, but so far, there's more news about former Dems 'seeing the light'.

Unless we get some election integrity, I guess we'll never know.
