@jenniferwilliamson7533 3 ай бұрын

It's been closer to 100 degrees most of this summer. It's the humidity that can get you if you're not used to it. If youre from Florida, you'll be ok. Remember, if your from up north or colder areas: you don't have to shovel humidity.

Ok. Moving from Tampa bay where it’s over 90 and humid for 5 months at least. Not to mention tons of traffic and 20 million visitors a yr to pinellas county. So Greenville doesn’t scare me or my family

Depends on if they align with your morals and values. My father's father was born and raised in North Carolina, my mother's family has been on the same land in upstate new york for over 250 years. And because I think they are all fools, self oriented jerks that are lawless, inconsiderate people I don't wish to live there any longer. My values align with south carolina so I'm moving there. Hoping people welcome my calm, respectful, american traditional values into their world, where I plan to work hard, raise a family one day. I had members of my family in the Continental Army, air force, marines and I am a public servant, who is tired of living in Rod sterlings world of nightmare and I want peace, a place to fish. I am not an immagrant, I'm an oppressed American who wants to assimilate myself towards a healthy relationship with my neighbors. I hope that is the type of person you would welcome to your community. Because I'm not welcome in my hometown. And it's a shame, because I'm sincerely a hardworking, skilled tradesman. And I just want a home for my family that I plan to pay for with my own money.

As a northerner, I lived in Seneca, SC (45 minute drive from Greenville) for seven years and the heat was tolerable and so was the traffic. Yes, you have to have a car if you live in Upstate SC. Social circles? I didn't give a rat's a**. It seems like you're trying to discourage people from moving to the Upstate. I say if you want a good quality of life, nice weather and miles of natural forests, move to the Upstate!!

Looking at the numbers, yes, it shows as high.

I will say that I live here and enjoy feeling comfortable with my kids running around the neighborhood and playing in the yards.

What a horrid video. Worse than that are the comments. Everything is relative. Coming from farther south, the heat means nothing. Coming from a bigger city, the traffic means nothing. And you dare to compare Greenville's night life to Atlanta and Charlotte? What planet are you on? Sure, there are conservative churches. But there are some wonderful progressive ones, too. And if you want to make friends, there are all kinds of ways and social groups. If stuff in this video scares you into not moving here, then don't. But if want to try a small and growing city (yes, with growing pains,) then move here! Its a wonderful place.
