paradise polluted by damyanquies!
They are one step above mooslim refugees. They move here and then go on and on about how we don't have what they had up there. We should change so they feel more at home. "lets raise taxes so we can get blah, blah" One of the main reasons I moved from the coast. It has been invaded and the territory is lost to the enemy!
As an aside; Is there anyone left in Ohio?

Ohio St. grad that now lives in Greenville. During our discussion (just small talk before our meeting started), he said without prompting that he couldn't WAIT to grow up, go to college, and move away from that state. I told him (being as nice as I could) that must be a very popular thing judging from how many people do that. He said that was pretty much the goal of every kid he knew growing up.
Can you imagine living in a place like that?

We should strive to make Clemson #1 in football, keep Massachusetts #1state to live in, help Ohio and maybe New Jersey closer to the top of the list and make sure the perception is that South Carolina is the absolute worst place anyone not from here would want to live ? That close? Can we take a vote?

Mar 2, 2017, 9:33 AM

look at the categories:
HEALTH CARE
EDUCATION
CRIME & CORRECTIONS
INFRASTRUCTURE
OPPORTUNITY
ECONOMY
GOVERNMENT
Are these 7 items the sole reasons you choose to live where you do? A couple of them sure, depending on whether you have kids or not, and what your profession is.
But gosh, look at this as an example, does this stuff actually sway you:
Fiscal Stability #19
Government Budget Balancing #11
Government Credit Rating #1 Yay! SC is the best in "Government Credit Rating"!!!
Pension Fund Liability #36
Government Digitalization #35
Budget Transparency #37
State Integrity #36
What about Climate, Culture, and Rural vs Urban Lifestyle? I'd say those are more important in choosing a place to live, and were very noticeably left out.

God-forsaken rural areas imaginable. They tend to look for new locations where they're the ONLY option. They're in the city limits too of course, but their expansion has really reached out into some desolate areas. It seems like I recently read that DG and DT stocks both have been solid achievers.

about 6 miles away, and near nothing at all. But I appreciate it because it saves me from driving 5 more additional miles into town on Sunday afternoon when I need a loaf of bread or some tylenol.
