They ruined my last two towns. They are ruining this one. And if they don’t they will send in the illegals.
Show up with cash and buy every scrap.of property sight unseen. Build the max allowable house. Wife starts a “art gallery” while husband weasels his way I. To town politics. Soon, “art walks”. Next. Roundabouts. Next, “green spaces” and public gardens no one uses. Then bike lanes every where. Then complaints a out lack of affordable housing for their housekeeper and yard guy illegly in the country when housing has increased 10 fold while no new industrial base has been allowed to grow.
I’m a Californian who just sold my home here and bought a house in the Arkansas River Valley. They have no need to fear my politics. I suspect that’s true of most folks moving from the Sacramento Valley area.
He chose poorly. Gallatin is a cesspool.
I do not understand how these internal migrants bring their political ideology.
Talk to them once is a lesson learned logic and country isn’t their field of choice.
I’m still trying to escape California but the economy makes it hard to do.

The key to avoiding that blight is to be somewhere that Californians or New Yorkers don't want to move to. I grew up in a rural area in east central Mississippi and now have 200 acres with an old farmhouse I remodeled. It's actually quite a beautiful area with rolling hills and endless nature but I think there are fewer people in the county now than when I was a kid 40 years ago, which suits me fine. The nearest decent sized town is 30 miles away and has all the support services you'd need, stores, restaurants, hospitals, etc. but lacks the big city variety that refugees from states like CA and NY crave. You're not going to find 75 michelin star restaurants there, broadway style shows, or unlimited high end shopping opportunities.
Just the name Mississippi keeps a lot of the libs out, it seems our reputation from 60 years ago makes us the #1 target of lefty hate nowadays. You can't go a day without reading an article on how backwards, racist, republican and ignorant we are & how it's downright dangerous for anyone other than a white person to set foot in the state. They always leave out the part that 40% of our population is black, I guess it's only dangerous if you're a black person from out of state. Anyway, we haven't become the target of the CA/NY refugee exodus so prices are dirt cheap (relatively) and we don't have to deal with stupid lefty policies nor infrastructure demands. It's almost like time has left us behind and I like it that way. If you go on any lefty discussion board like DU or Reddit we're always the first place the libs crap on when they get on a rant about places they'd NEVER live. It keeps them out so in my mind that's a huge win, plus I don't see myself having to watch an apartment complex being put up next to my place in my lifetime.
We've got almost twice as many people in the U.S. as there were when I was born, that's not going to slow down. As leftist governed states get more and more unlivable for the middle class the people who can afford to move are going to keep fleeing to more welcoming areas. Areas around large cities like Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Charleston, Savannah, Birmingham etc., are going to get rapidly developed because New Yorkers and Californians demand access to big city things. If you want to stay away from them then you'd best be somewhere remote.
Tell the we have enough bike trails, we don't want endless recycling nonsense, we own guns we love our American flag, we're conservative and God fearing and if that don't suit your pistol go back to the s**thole you ran away from.
