A lot of these residents don’t actually stay and live in South Dakota. It’s extremely easy to establish residency in SD. All you have to do is stay for a day or two in a hotel or campground and you can declare residency, get a license, address, etc. This is extremely appealing to a growing population of retirees and “Nomads” who live in RVs and travel around the country full time. They need a domicile and South Dakota has favorable tax rates as well as making it easy to “reside” there so it’s become a popular place to “move” to and that is undoubtedly skewing the population numbers. If you doubt this, go to an RV campground in a popular recreational area and half the license plates are from South Dakota.

[@antoniotorres3936]

South Dakota is very underrated. Its not perfect but I would recommend it to anyone from Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis that is sick of the crime and high taxes in those cities.

South Dakota does fly under the radar. The weather is on the extreme end of the spectrum for most Americans to consider it as a relocation hotspot but it’s worth talking about as a place to raise a family or spend part of the year in retirement. I spent an extended period of time there in 2021, specifically the northeast part of the state. It’s distinctly more “Midwest” with a strong sense of community and high quality of life even for people making average incomes. It surprised me that most families owned a boat or an ATV for example. It was hard to go anywhere without encountering talkative, friendly people and genuine, helpful customer service. Eastern SD is distinctly different compared with western SD, though, which looks and has a culture more in line with Wyoming or Montana. Cross the Missouri River and the corn fields turn into cattle ranches, towns into villages and houses into homesteads. It’s not for everyone, but if it is there are few places better.

Over 20% of the state's population is in Sioux Falls and probably somewhere around another 20% is within an hour or so drive of it. Well over half of the state's population is in or around Sioux Falls or Rapid City. In the eastern half where a large percentage of the rest of the population is there are some smaller cities (relative to Sioux Falls and Rapid City) scattered about that have medical facilities and shopping (although for major medical issues Sioux Falls is obviously better).

.. thank you Briggs! I'm 81, and have lived in South Dakota most of my life. The Black Hills are a wonderful part of our state. The Black Hills have a lot of national forest land, with free camping everywhere... also, we have recently legalized medical cannabis, so this is great for people who want a medicine that is safe and efficacious... and our first cannabis dispensary was opened in flandreau, South Dakota, by Native Americans. The Indians are way ahead of us w h i t e s on some things.

[@samgould8567]

Didn’t the Native dispensaries get shut down in Flandreau? It’s been a while since I’ve kept up with SD politics, but I know that Kristi Noem shut down the will of the people who voted for legal medical cannabis, because she received word from law enforcement that it would be difficult to distinguish hemp from marijuana. Also, is Mad Mary’s in Flandreau still the best steakhouse ever? I miss that place.

[@abeal49]

@@samgould8567 The governor didn't throw out the law that legalized recreational marijuana, the state supreme court did. I think it was law enforcement that challenged it on constitutional grounds. As usual the proponents of an initiated measure didn't bother to write a viable bill, we have a legislative research council which will look over bills before they go on ballots as initiated measures or before they are introduced to the legislature, and they can make recommendations and explain "you wrote it wrong," but they can't force anybody to make corrections, (the stupid is strong here at times) and in the case of initiated measures, the Attorney General will write up a paragraph explaining what an initiated measure will do and that's printed on the ballot right above the measure. unfortunately the voters don't bother to read caveats like "if passed, this will be challenged on constitutional grounds." which is just legalese for "this f--king thing is crap." I mean, if you want to put a measure on the ballot re-establishing slavery here you can do it, you can actually get enough signatures from idiots to put such a thing on the ballot. Really. We get a lot of crap measures on the ballot, and then people who didn't bother to read what they were voting for complain when the state supreme court tosses it out, or the legislature passes an emergency measure to nullify it. If you want to write a viable bill you need to listen to the lawyers when they tell you what you need to fix. On the other hand, if you want to craft an initiated measure requiring the state treasurer to give you a million bucks every year on your birthday, and then tell people it's a poverty-relief measure, you can easily get enough bone-headed people to sign the petition, get it on the ballot and vote for it. And then you, too, can complain that "they're ignoring the will of the people!" when it gets tossed because only the legislature is allowed to make appropriations.

[@abeal49]

yes well we have seen what marijuana does to people:,it makes them unemployable It's an excellent drug for somebody in hospice care because it induces the apathy of demerol, and the euphoria of morphine, without all the negative side effects of either. It's fine for a retiree of 81 years of age, go ahead. But nobody wants to hire stoners. Nobody wants to work with stoners. And therein lies the trouble with it. The same effects that it has on somebody dying of a terminal disease are the effects that make a user unemployable: the combination of apathy and euphoria aren't good on the job. While an employee with euphoria might be fun at times, couple that with apathy and you have an absolutely worthless person on your staff. They aren't going to do a good job, if they even bother to show up.

[@samgould8567]

South Dakota is cheap because wages are so low across all sectors of the economy. Local businesses can't charge as much for services because people can't afford to pay higher prices. People save for years to put a 20% down-payment on a $150,000 home. If everything was really cheaper, it would be fine, but you're still paying the same as everyone else in the country for a new car, your health insurance, your cell phone bill, online retail, ... the list goes on. Some things like gas are marginally cheaper, other things like higher education are way cheaper, but then you have high property tax and heating bills. It's not as cheap as you'd think unless you're already retired or living off passive income. And as far as cheap hobbies go, there's not much across most of the state besides hunting, fishing, and internet stuff.

Also there’s this town quite literally in the middle of nowhere in near Murdo that is completely the original buildings from the 1880s. It’s a whole small town with train cars, a museum, gas station, and old school vibes. Dancing with Wolves was filmed there!

Yes, let's see digital nomads make yet another innocent state too expensive. The trend now seems to be remote workers moving in, driving up costs in an area, and then leaving because the new place is now too expensive. Remote workers have been cited to be the primary cause of the national housing crisis. NBC News wrote an article, called, "The remote workers have left, but the housing havoc they created remains." Look it up. There are many other news outlets that've written about the problem. "Geographic arbitrage," ruins communities and backfires in the end. Worse, high rents are driving our current inflation. Look that up, too. There is no such thing as free money. You win in the short run but in the long run, everybody loses, including yourself. Also, some of these areas will be left with a high cost of living for years even after you leave. If you move in and wonder why locals don't like you, look to see if your area has a housing crisis. Don't write off the scorn you receive with stupid stereotypes about the state you've relocated to. Stereotypes are for ignorant people. This is an important issue, which deserves due consideration because it's even making people with good jobs homeless. Vice Magazine did a lovely video on remote workers and gentrification. The video is about how local workers a digital nomad hot spot in Colorado are forced into homelessness and or leaving. The irony is that town, like so many similar to it, is running out of people to run the restaurants, schools, and other town businesses. What is happening right now with our national crisis is causing untold damage to countless lives. It's very vexing to see that the only thing seem to care about is their wallets, while forgetting that there are other people who deserve shelter.
