In these troubling times many people are contemplating relocating from their current Urban Democratic Nirvana City.

Those of us in the South offer the following marketing advertisement for your consideration.

I would think that’s more of a advertisement for moving to San Francisco!

I have seen more NewYork plates in the last couple of months than in my whole life in North Arkansas. I have heard they are looking for an escape from NY.
I think many of them will find that they can live in a much nicer home with land among people who are friendly and helpful.

We are anticipating an increase in the already massive migration to this area. Custom builders are getting calls daily from northeasterners wanting homes built. I guess they figured that they ruined where they currently live, so now they can come down here and do the same. They will turn our state a deep blue, and pollute our state with their existence. Lucky us, huh? We shouldn’t let them vote for 20 years.

I saw a news blip on Bloomberg saying that Toll Brothers had an extensive backlog of high end homes to be built.

Their stock price apparently reflects that compared to other exchange listed builders.

That’s no scchitt. A family that I know well had a large, beautiful Ante bellum Plantation Home and decided to sell it and some property. They advertised it last November and it sold in the first week of December to a Connecticut couple, cash deal, mega bucks and they did it online without visiting the home.

When the couple came down in January the lady told them to get those dirty cows off of the property, didn’t care how or where to, just get them off. So, they sold the cows and kept the money.

The couple has the home and land looking like the showplace that it truly is.

Posted By: tzone Re: Moving to the South - 07/29/20
Little pieces of property here are selling like crazy. I'm talking 5-10 acre spots that were part of someone's yard. Builders are buying them fast, clearing them, and jamming 50-100 spec homes on them as fast as they can build them.

There was 20 ac swampy, wetland piece across the road from our house. No normal person would buy it, let alone build on it. There is 20 houses and a "park" on it now. I'd be willing to be they don't know their $750,000 house was a swamp 2 years ago. Good luck on the sump pump, you're going to need it.

If I ever move, I'm heading your way. I figure I'll rent the first year and see if I freeze to death........if not reevaluate. If I can't hack the winter I'll come back to Georgia and live with the Yankees......couldn't abide being a fake Alaskan that doesn't stay for winter. The way I see it, the weather and high cost of living weeds out the weak and the riff-raffs. If that includes me so be it.

Don't worry too much. None of the above is likely. laugh

Sure didn't keep the Yankees from moving west of Range Line Road, better known as 441. Out west where I grew up hunting and fishing between Delray and Lake Worth was a joke when I left 35 years ago. My brother said we grew up at the right time in Florida. We're heading for Alaska one can only hope that maybe the bears will eat us.

I'd rather be a fake Alaskan than freeze to death. My wife has a nice summer place on Grindstone Island right on the Canadian border but the Yankees from the city and taxes have her thinking about Alaska.

Wouldn't think there was much left there after all the Chicago retirees have moved there.

a lot of people bust on arkansas, including me, but if i was moving south i think that's where i'd head. i like the northern la, arkansas area. of course that was almost 40 years ago though so things may have changed.

The south has bugs, lots of bugs -- big roaches and bigger water bugs--
The south has snakes, lots of bad snakes, and gators--( they will get in your pool, on your porch)
The south has mosquitos, big ones
The south has way too many yankees
The south is NOT where you want to be
Did I mention the bugs?

Its unlikely to be any of them because they mostly do not have enough money to leave their home area and move to SC, but a lot of the people in southeastern Ohio, near the WV and KY borders, are about as redneck and hillbilly as you can get. Those folks aren't bad at all and would probably fit right in to any rural area in the US.

Doubtful if you got any of them, though, you probably got a retired dentist from Cleveland.

We managed an apartment complex near Charlotte for fifteen or so years. Had dozens moving down in the 80’s and 90’s working for one business (can’t recall the name). It was always “that’s not how we did it in Ohio”. Got a little tired of hearing it. I won’t paint them with too wide a brush, but you hear them at county council meetings complaining about the lack of services and stuff like water parks, softball fields, etc. Can’t seem to grasp those low taxes didn’t get that way by trying to increase budgets by 50%
