When I was growing up in NC, we called them dingbatters. Northerners who came down to our beaches and told us what to do. They were the main cause of the closing of Bogue Banks to the beach buggies of the sport fishermen in the 70's.

When I was a teenager, I remember riots in Boston over school desegregation, in the 70's. My county desegregated in 1965, when I was 6. I never saw any problem. But IRT Boston, I remember my Dad making the statement that the Yankees made us do it, when they didn't even see if it would work in their own backyard.

The northeast has a long and infamous history of doing this, more specifically, the northeastern libs.
