We've had a few of them abandon Arizona because of the heat, but our summers have been uncharacteristically mild the past two years.
But the occupation of Santa Fe has me particularly upset. I know it shouldn't, since it's always been a haven for artists... but they were always artists who wanted to be left alone. Now Hollywood has moved in and it's all gone straight to hell. Not to mention that they allowed a huge mosque to built out in the middle of nowhere right near Georgia O'Keeffe's house.
Cary interesting. My family is from Wake County. My grandparents used to own a few acres and a home in Zebulon. They sold it before they passed away and now all the area that used to be country is now development. Pharma country instead of tobacco road.
Very true about Santa Fe. The Hollywood type are like locust. Whatever is the “hot” chic” place for the moment, they move to which causes real estate and cost of living to go through the roof. Then when that area isn’t chic anymore they move on leaving a destroyed shell behind.
Whenevr the liberals “claim” an area as an artists colony, destruction follows. Whether it be what has happened to Santa Fe or being overrun by tourists. It brings to mind Talkeetna, Alaska an “artists” colony north of Anchorage that is overrun with tourists heading to or from Denali. The weather and cost of living are probably the only thing preventing it from suffering a fate similar to Santa Fe.
