How is it living in NC? I want to live near a beach so I'm trying to find a state similar to where I'm at. Florida is pretty similar, but I believe they passed a red flag law there.
chapel hill and asheville are liberal cesspools
charlotte is a giant third-world riot always primed and waiting to happen
greensboro is a well known collaboration/staging point for muslim terrorists.
durham is a gangland hellhole (there's a documentary film about it) in denial, now filling with pretentious hipster IT types gentrifying the place, and Duke University (remember the Duke Lacrosse team false accusations?) in the throes of blaming whitey for every problem in the world (even though Duke is named after a slave owner). Raleigh has a democrat police chief who doesn't want to grant pistol permits (the courts forced him).
basically, I'm not a fan of the cities. rural NC is wonderful though and small towns <20,000 people can be incredibly charming.
Cary, NC is great. high taxes but the cost of a safe, clean city. tons of software and technology jobs in the area.
NC is changing. Currently, a blue state with a weenie governor. I think a lot of people want him out. We've been in phase 2 since the end of May. We've been doing 2-3 weeks at a time. He decided he would announce yesterday that phase 2 remains for another 5 weeks... Why the jump?
He's killing our small businesses.
A lot of the beach towns are mom + pop buisnesses. All this covid crap is going to have it's after effects.
South Carolina, Georgia & Florida currently all red States. South Carolina is traditionally more conservative. My bf lived there for 5 years, (we're both natives of NC)... There are people who would love to get rid of NC because we are rather liberal compared to them.
Florida has been a red state for almost a decade, I lived there as well.. probably. Good place to retire. I lived in the gulf coast.
Georgia from the little bit that I hear is pissing off the progressives, the governor won't make mask wearing mandatory so the mayor of ATL is t-ed off.
I love rural NC. Cities like Raleigh + Wilmington have grown with people from the North. I meet so many people from NY, NJ or Ohio.
I would love to move to SC one day, but my family ties keep me here.
Wake county in NC said too many people were getting their conceal carry + stopped allowing permits.. was then ruled unconstitutional.
If Dan Forrester can get into office, this election, I would feel better about this place.
We do have a mandatory mask law in place at the moment + from what I've heard going to have people to enforce. I can tell you right now the sheriff's in these small towns where I live aren't going to budge. They already stated when the law went into effect that they weren't going to enforce it.
Thanks for all the information. It's truly does help. Speaking of retirement places, Naples seems like a good place to be. I've been considering just buying land near that area and just being closer of a drive to the beach and it should be a win, win.
No worries on the long read. I enjoy reading informative replies.
Naples is definitely where the money is. I lived 45 mins south, the beaches are beautiful! I visited a AF recruiter twice there before I realized I didn't want to follow my dad's footsteps lol.
Sanibel island is known for their shelling!
Either way, the gulf beaches are something to check out. I've heard some of the bacteria in the water isn't good, but that's before I swallowed a red pill. So, haven't really looked back into it.
Yeah, I've looked up jobs down there as well as house prices and I like what I've seen. Used to visit my step fathers uncle down there and have visited shell island. Think I remember not to long ago hearing you aren't allowed to take shells anymore. Not sure if that's true or not.
I live in Aberdeen near Pinehurst. They tried to riot here a little while ago because of the huge rich white community. But, they remembered that it's also home to pretty much all of Army and Air Force special operations.
My wife and I were considering taking a trip over that way a little later this month as our vacation to the Bahamas was cancelled. TN isn't on the self quarantine list so I would think it should be fine if we do decide to go. The wife still hasn't made up her mind. I wish she would so I can book the hotel, but...

other than that, it's great
Lol. Thanks. Check that off the list.
I hate DT Asheville!
What about Raleigh/Durham?

So they behaved themselves then fucked off.
Look into Charleston, SC. It's unfortunately pretty liberal, but the state as a whole is based.
