There are three kinds of northerners. 1) The vast majority who are products of their region, have roots and family, like it and stay put. 2)Those who move south because they prefer hot climates with the lifestyle and activities a southern region has to offer. This second group tends to be middle- upper middle class, economically mobile and migrate from metro regions with a higher-than-average cost of living. The bulk of them tend to be retirees. 3) This category includes both retirees and those who relocate due somewhat to circumstances. These transplants who might not be keen on moving south, come because of personal or employment circumstances. This includes a percentage of retirees who couldn't economically swing it and were compelled to move. Both of these sub- groups would've preferred to stay put in their region. It's this third category with the greatest concentration of malcontents.

Violent crime has doubled in the last 10 years. The crime spreads town-to-town, so even if you move somewhere that is safe now, it will eventually become unsafe. SC residents won't mention this because they think crime is like this everywhere. It is not. 43 states are safer to live in.

The vast majority of our politicians in SC are REPUBLICAN, and have been FOR DECADES. How could they possibly blame our issues on "democrats"???

They take FULL advantage of people who move down here with absolutely no affordable housing, no transportation system, and no actual careers. You and your family AND friends will be working 3 jobs to live here, IN AN APARTMENT. Every hurricane season regardless of if one comes anywhere close to SC they will hike up prices on essentials for half a year and act like there were hurricanes happening that whole time. Everything around here is built for consumerism, Tourist's, and a one week trip. This place is NOT ment to start a family or business. In fact you will lose your family, your business AND your sanity trying to live here. The people are 2 faced as HELL. At least in a city if someone hates you, you know it and you can avoid them. Here they act like a bunch of elementary school children trying to dig dirt up on eachother and play social politics. All behind a big smile. You hear about THOSE types of neighborhoods, the ones that are all surface level. THAT'S all of South Carolina. You can't live anywhere around here without an HoA. They care more about appearance then substance. I have lived here for 13 years and OMG do I regret moving here. If you're rich and a HUGE snob, you will fit right in.

Charleston had huge cockroachs everywhere on the sidewalks. It was totally cringe. You can call them Palmetto bugs, but they are still cockroaches.

Immigrating from Canada to USA. Been looking into South Carolina or Florida. The process to immigrate has been soooo hard and expensive. My husband is American and my children are dual citizens. Now we have to choose a state to call home. It’s not as easy as it seems. In Canada we can move easily from one part of the country to the next. But there is so much red tape to move from Michigan to South Carolina. My views are heavily Republican/Conservative so this is why I’ve decided the south is calling and it’s time to say goodbye to liberal Canada. I want to raise my young family with people of like minds around me. It will just be a big disappointment if we can’t get to South Carolina but remain in democrat run Michigan after I join my husband in USA.

Think about Appalachia too. It's safer and still conservative.

Yes they act friendly but they are mean on the low. They put up a facade. From Delaware and they treat each other bad and gossip allot.

So, my husband and I are thinking of moving to Myrtle Beach b/c we love the water! We’ve lived in GA majority of our lives and we’ve been in the Atlanta area for 10yrs. We have always traveled down to FL so we can get in our water fix. We thought of moving to FL, but the cost of living has become astronomical down there. My mother in law just moved to Myrtle Beach with her husband last year so we at least have SOME family there 😅. I feel as if we should get more of a feel for the town before we just up and move there.

[@emmahammond741]

Why?

[@emmahammond741]

We've considered it but I don't hear a lot of great things about it after researching. I've been there several times too and I love the weather but the entire state looks soooo run down and poverty stricken. WAY higher crime than up north where we're at too. But I'm curious about your reasons. Thanks

[@ferrousglobe4055]

North Augusta, Charleston and Greenville best options.

We moved from Atlanta to Beaufort County SC at the end of 2020. We are an 1 1/2" south of Charleston and 1" north of Savannah and Hilton Head. Plenty of night life and music a sort drive away. Now we have hockey with the Savannah Ghost Pirates.

I'm from the New England region and I moved to Seneca, SC in 2012 and lived there until the end of 2015. I actually really enjoyed it there, lots of people use to say to me, you don't sound like you're from around here, or you sound like you're from Boston lol! However, I got along with people and didn't have issues with anyone. I kinda miss the Palmeto State sometimes, I can't believe its almost been 10 years since I was last down there, I remember being there like it was yesterday.

[@livinginsouthcarolina]

Born and raised in SC! Lol, I get told all the time I don’t have an accent. Love Seneca. I’m normally over there a couple times a month!

[@rcyoung86]

@@livinginsouthcarolina Yeah, it didn't seem like you had a strong accent in the video. Also, what I noticed from living down there is, that some people have that strong southern accent stronger than others. The roommate I was living with during my time in Seneca, he didn't have that strong southern accent either, he sounded kinda like you and he's originally from North Charleston, SC. It seems like the people who live near the coast in SC like Charleston, Myrtle Beach, etc don't have that strong southern accent compared to other parts of the state. With that being said, I might be totally wrong but that's what it seemed like to me during my time down there lol!

[@amandabritt3247]

@@rcyoung86 yes, depending on where one lives in the state he/she may not have an accent. There are also regional accents that are distinct to certain areas. I remember attending college upstate SC, and some girls would tease me about my accent… I was confused because we were in the south lol. They were from the upstate area. But one thing for sure is, accent or not, we love using our ma’am and sirs :)
