Same here in NC. Just an endless stream of ugly subdivisions and apartment complexes in what used to be a beautiful area, all to appease the wealthy Northerners moving here to escape the liberal hellholes they helped to create. I live near the Crystal Coast, but most locals call it the Condominium Coast now because it's so overbuilt and ugly and built to entertain the nouveau riche Yankee. I'm a conservative who cares about the environment, and it disgusts me how they're destroying the wetlands and coastal forests in this region.
In my mind, anyone who calls himself an investor or a developer is like the government. "I'm a developer and I'm here to improve your community" are words to fear.

I believe it. I know it's not just in the South, although we're taking the brunt of the influx right now. It's happening anywhere that's rural, traditional, quaint, and beautiful, all things that liberals find temporarily amusing but will ultimately destroy in order to put up a subdivision, strip mall, or day spa.
Or like our narcissistic neighbors, just to be a nuisance! 4 wheeler, chainsaws, motors revving until past midnight, music blasting, kids screaming. They moved into our quiet little street and are causing drama.
Yeah, there's a pandemic of rudeness and self-centeredness that has infected this nation. People don't care about others and only care about amusing themselves. I rarely leave my house anymore except to go to work.
Fellow native Carolinian here. It's a dang shame what these developers and Yankees are doing to our state. It's disgusting what's happened to the triangle area, in the name of modernizing/urbanization.
I feel you. All we have to do is look to our neighbors in Virginia to see what's going to be our reality in just a few short years. NY transplants destroyed VA and it's coming here now. I'm a teacher, and most of my students are from NY, PA, OH, MA, and even CA. It's so disheartening. True Southern culture, which is a fragile and rare thing that our grandparents still knew, will be gone in a few years. And that's why Vanguard/BlackRock are doing this, to kill our culture and tradition and make us one ugly neo-American monolith.
I don't think there's anywhere to go that's truly safe from this disease at this point. I pray that part of the Great Awakening will be an end to this trend and some relief for those of us who value tradition and keeping our communities intact. Maybe some of us need to start a Keep North Carolina North Carolina group, lol. Voting for Mark Robinson and keeping our state super-red is a good start, too. Drives away the worst of the worst, like the light drives out the darkness.

Agreed so strongly here in California. You are on point.

Amen to this ^^^^ We live in the same area and this is 100% truth.

I plan on leaving soon, but trying to figure out where to go 😔 I guess somewhere where's there's really nothing around. It's depressing
