Change is Coming to Greenville, SC!

[@derrickblanding2730]

Great video!! The images at 4:16, 5:05, 7:22, and 7:46 have since been updated. Reid's Foods downtown on Washington and Publix are also considered downtown grocers. The Unity Park downtown Greenville is very beautiful and I'm excited about the 125 Foot Honor Tower!

[@gilanderson3923]

I guess I'm glad you all are excited about the growth, but we came here from the Atlanta area in 2015. The great downtown area and slower pace were a godsend then. It's now getting too big and crowded and feeling a lot like the Atlanta suburbs. The condition of the roads is horrible and the poor traffic flow shows there is only reactionary planning; too little too late. Traffic is rapidy getting worse. Hopefully someone who is excited about the massive growth will buy our home for a premium price when we are ready to leave and find our next small Greenville.

So many people in South Carolina Criticize the North Specially New York, and now SC is getting all there ideas from New Yorkers!!! 😊 I Wonder why is that ! The Southerners are still LAY BACK and LAZY PEOPLE , and the IMMIGRANTS want to work for less and the SOUTHERNERS don't want them in the SOUTH !!! The IMMIGRANTS work hard for their money!!! The SOUTH still has a lot to LEARN and the NORTHERNS must EDUCATE THE SOUTH 😊

[@boxingfan2796]

Us too. I miss the old slower pace downtown. I moved to Greenville to get away from all the traffic and craziness. The amount of development going on is absolutely insane. Around our house, every tree has been bulldozed and it's nothing but expansive suburbs and construction. Traffic is getting horrible because infrastructure wasn't considered during this expansion.

I'm originally from Pickens, and recently moved from Anderson to east TN (temporarily) to live with my parents until I can find my next job in Anderson (hopefully). I hope that a light rail system is in the planning stages for Greenville and the rest of The Upstate in general. Having one would drastically help reduce traffic jams on the interstates, especially at rush hour. As Americans, we need to start thinking differently about transportation. We don't necessarily have to get rid of our cars, but it would be nice to have more transportation options than just driving everywhere.

[@NeedANameWithoutNumbers]

Huh, I helped lay the sewer and grease pits for Bridgeway Station. Had no idea what they were building though since we do our thing so early in the building phases. That job has been going for quite a while and recently they seem to have made a lot of progress!

[@dougcassin677]

Northern influx brings with it these kind of improvements and amenities. Transplants seek to re- create familiar space utilization and patterns they've grown familiar with. Open space, landscaped parks, the Rabbit trial for healthy physical activities and the like. But at some point, this won't likely matter. Won't matter because at some point population growth and continuous development will offset these desires and improvements.

[@jermaineoakman1502]

Greenville is doing what a growing city is supposed to do. I'm just waiting on Aiken

[@JJDOG9]

I’m excited for the Peace Center expansions too! Hopefully we bring in more bands that would normally go up to Asheville.

[@livinginsouthcarolina]

That one was 🤏 this close to making my list!

[@Bongofurry]

Greenville isn't music friendly.

[@Briwnee]

I'm trying to moved to Greenville ❤❤

[@brucewallace3860]

I’m looking forward to moving to Greenville-area later this year - but thank goodness for Unity Park, otherwise it seems that a lot of the development revolves around shopping and restaurants. Travelers Rest, Pendleton and……looking better and better.

[@uawsux]

Simpsonville Greer Maulden much better.. Spartanburg and fountain trash..

[@captainlongjohnson9743]

why? they don’t want you there nobody is gonna like you

[@austin_94gt18]

Been here all my life and those of us who are native from this area dont want anymore people. The city and state want more tax money but we arent ready for this kind of growth. Rent used to be $700 for a 3 bedroom appartment and now its $1,200 outside city anf up to $1,800 in city. We have signed petitions to stop home building and the city continues to allow more building. Another thing is that not a single person living here seems to be able to drive. Stay off the road if you cant drive.

[@AnsleyHahn]

Excellent video, Thank you!

[@Bradimoose]

Smart planning is good. Otherwise you end up like Florida with endless sprawl and 7500 home neighborhoods with traffic all flowing on to one road built 80 years ago.

[@re-engineeringme9758]

Greenville needs to step up their tiny freeways all that new stuff is going to back up the freeways/highways

[@russellbaxley9788]

Bridge way is NOT connecting to the Rabbit any time soon

[@yaboinate9245]

What are the jobs like out there

[@wooper8736]

One of the higher rated job economies in the US especially in engineering and related fields (basically who the big corps like Michelin and BMW are hiring). You'll more likely get a job in your field here than another city with the same population and amount of open positions

[@TruthInspector]

Needs a Costco in Seneca bad. Turning into a mark of the beast 15 min city

[@Bongofurry]

Hopefully they can exploit every inch of downtown so humans can have a " ton " of enjoyment. Is that the same hoodie fetterman is sporting ? Trees will grow up and get bigger .

[@jenyablade6737]

We are from Seattle and have two little kids. How is the crime out there?

[@natesmith9213]

It's Republican, so there's no crime like Seattle.

[@jenyablade6737]

…….. have you been to Seattle? We don’t have mass shootings like the South does.

[@raceboy9517]

Sorry for the disrespectful replies but I believe Greenville is a nice place to live. I'm hoping to move there myself in the future since i also live in South Carolina as well. Feel free to ask me more questions about South Carolina, I'll try to answer them the best that i can.

This is all so nice...but Jobs Jobs Jobs is more important!

can we just fix the damn roads!

Increased walkability is great. Increased subsidized housing... not so much.

Subsidized housing is good.

[@mdnt_ramble7]

Doesn’t work, growing To Fast there’s already major infrastructure issues showing themselves..and people paying $2,000+ a month to rent downtown Greenville is mind blowing.

[@chrisbrown1349]

Sounds all very overpriced. Thanks New Yorkers.

[@chrisbrown1349]

District 356 is just a big overpriced apartment building. That’s it. No bars, no restaurants. This KZbinr is only trying to fluff up what is not to make money on you coming into the Greenville area and leaving. Also, there is no thriving downtown Taylor’s as he had previously stated.

[@JLL83102]

And he said Stone Street. Um...Stone Avenue! How does he not know that.

[@Hodi72]

Too crowded and high crime

[@austin_94gt18]

I hope everyone deciding to move here is ready to sit in Atlanta sized traffic. Just also know that you are adding to that traffic. We used to be able to go from point A to B a few years ago and you guys ruined that.

[@FengRaiCho]

Greenville SC is a strange city IMO. On paper it looks like it has a lot of good things going for it.... But when you're actually in it, it seems like all smoke and mirrors, fake opportunity, etc.

[@porcudracului]

Excellent assessment.

[@TruthInspector]

Of all the parks in Greenville unity is the ugliest it has the least amount of trees. Total fail
