In California, though, even the church people, even the children of missionaries would knife you in the back.

I live in Texas but I am originally from PA. I will tell you it is not so much outsiders - it is mainly people that come from large cities (California, New York, etc). They tend to move to get away from the hell holes they are leaving & then proceed to try to make the new place just like they came from. In addition, they drive up property values to the point that locals can no longer afford it. As far as I am concerned if someone plans to move here & then turn it in to a hell hole - they can stay where they are at.

[@MarkWG]

[@Redandranger]

Don't blame the buyers for driving up prices. Your neighbors and the local real estate agents are the ones selling you out.

[@jstravelers4094]

The reason why these places have a low cost of living and no traffic is because there is no way to make a living there.

[@AttackChefDennis]

I am always amazed by the amount of fear that is inherent in these "oh the newcomers will change my city" statements. The power locals seem to give these newcomers is outrageous. How would they change your cities into what you call "hellholes" by just simply moving to your area. I'm absolutely sure that these individuals that are moving to your area really had nothing to do with the conditions of the city from which they are leaving they are just simply responding to conditions they do not like. That does not make them responsible for those conditions.

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

​@@AttackChefDennisThe biggest fear is, of course, housing becoming unaffordable for the locals. After my rent doubled in a single year in Nashville (1994-95), I can see why. My childhood neighborhood went from teachers, insurance salesmen, and postal workers to people paying $1M+ for small, basic houses. Bigger houses easily sell into $2M+ range. People there now often have famous neighbors. I see the same now, in many poor countries, where people take US and Canadian dollars, and compete with locals -- Mexico, Thailand, Belize, etc....

[@jonlouis2582]

Before I moved to Vermont, I was warned about how cold and unfriendly the locals were. My experience was quite the opposite. They are reserved, yes, mostly because most newcomers pack up a leave again relatively soon. Once they see you have a desire to work hard and fit in, they would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. Volunteering in the community was a big help.

[@fredzzkid]

Right - same here in Maine. My family has been here a long time and I've seen more and more changes brought with people from away that are NOT positive. No respect for history - gentrification is what they're about. They like it here more than where they came from so they buy properties for ridiculous prices, driving the taxes so high that many families of fishermen/lobstermen have had to sell their waterfront places which takes away their living too. And then what do the away folk do? They try to make it more like where they just came from!! Smh

As former CA resident, I have to say that in Southern Idaho, specifically the Treasure Valley (basically Boise metro area) at least 75% of residents are CA refugees. CA natives have been moving here for decades. In the 9 years we have lived here, we have had zero problems. I think many Idaho natives are concerned about rising housing prices, but they have figured out that Californians who choose to move here are VERY conservative and generally share Idaho values.

[@jamesbrown9721]

Many Californians have moved to the Boise area, but it's not true that they mostly trend conservative. Boise has been electing Democratic mayors for the last 20 years, something that would've never happened in the early 90s when I lived in the city for 2 years. The city was much more conservative and less racially diverse back then. But even so, they had the liberal north end. The fact remains that Ada County has followed the trend of other Mountain West metros like Salt Lake by getting blue & more diverse. But outside of Ada, it is definitely more conservative except Blaine County which has always been liberal since Hemmingway committed suicide in Sun Valley.

So many of their companies have moved here and brought their employees with them, my house value doubled during COVID and I don’t live in any of the major cities. We’re all being priced out of being Texans because of the population and industry boom. Groceries are up nearly 100% and housing is up like 40% as a median home price average (more where I live and in the major cities.) Wages for those of us who have always lived here? Maybe up 1-5%?

Instead of blaming other Americans for moving to other parts of America (And acting like we're separate countries) they should be focused on pushing for better zoning laws, and policies that actually encourage growth in the construction industry and encourage reasonable construction quotas.

I wouldn't be surprised if education was neglected there to the point that alot of people there don't understand that your town and or city growing is a positive sign, and if people were leaving, then that means the youth is leaving too, and all that will be left is a depressed ageing population. You still need to push for more action in your leadership to fix those archaic issues that contribute to the cost of living, but no , they think Californians are the one and absolute reason.
