#2 "We’re seeing more people move to the Southern Appalachian region, which includes states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama,"

The wonders of air conditioning. Aided and abetted by northern politicians who believe your money is their money.

...Until a few years ago, I absolutely loved the Redneck Riviera - it was tacky, it was crowded, it was getting progressively more and more expensive, but it was about as American as you could get. Hell, one of the best things about it was the number of folks from Eastern Europe who were (quite legally, and proudly so)here to make a living and eventually become citizens. People were happy, and it was fun.

But it's gotten bad. Crime and homelessness is rampant, and the two weeks a year of organized thugishness known as Bike Week(s) don't do any favors. (I know that the vast majority of them are there to just rev their bikes and have a good time, but the few bad ones more than make up for them.) The economy isn't making it any cheaper to go.

If people are moving to anywhere near MB, it ain't the city proper - it's the literal dozens and dozens of very expensive and very secure condo buildings or gated communities.

#4 Here come the "Half Backs".... if you're a Southerner you'll understand the term.

#5 Property prices here have skyrocketed here due to people from New York, California, Pennsylvania and other Blue states moving here. They often buy sight unseen and are willing to pay way more for property than locals can afford. Most are decent folks but some want to make like "back home".

#6 Florida has gone from dem voter registration advantage to +900,000 GOP advantage statewide. That means the "blue metastasis" argument isn't quite a lock.

#7 I live in Myrtle Beach Biker Week (there are two, one for all and one for blacks) is less thuggish than an hour than any 20 minutes in any Democrat city. Housing near the ocean is a fraction of the cost of anywhere else. My annual property taxes are less than I paid per month in CT. Most Yankees that moved here are Trumpsters.

#8 I was at a wedding this weekend and a gentleman from Myrtle Beach was there. He shared that Myrtle Beach has the same problems the rest of America has: lots of Crime, lots of Homelessness, Fentanyl overdoses, and Inflation.

#10 New people move in and legacy residents bitch & moan, but their lard arsed son Bubba has a new job (for life) with Streets and Sanitation.

Some call it progress.

#11 /\ Crap and crime everywhere. Obama's transformation that he talked about in 2009.
