Charleston is Ruined / How is Savannah holding up these days? . . .

I haven't been to Charleston in a couple years. Overcrowded now?

You've lost your cred over and over with your Atl rantings, showing that you know absolutely nothing about anything related with urban development. Just stick with small town shite and, if you don't like what may or may not be going on elsewhere, just STFU about it.

I can't speak for the crowdedness but after spending a drunk weekend there this past weekend, the level of talent there is astonishing. Hot skanks everywhere

If I was single and in my 20s and made over $80k a year, I'd advise on moving there. Tons of pretty gals. Just getting real expensive. Try hiring semi skilled labor there now tho... or even skilled. No one wants to do it or can stay off drugs long enough to do any of the good jobs there.

Charleston was a unique and special place for a long long time. Took only about 10 or 15 years to throw that all away though. Can't imagine what that must be like for natives.

The low country isn't like Florida or other places that can absorb large populations easier. There's too much water, creeks, marsh, etc. Just look at what it's done to Mt Pleasant. It's a complete and total disaster.

Greenville is going full ant farm too. Soon there will be nobody even left in Ohio.

Like most places, word gets out about what a great place somewhere is and 10-15 years later it's so overrun it tanks. Charleston was the fricking jewel of vacation spots and good food growing up and as more and more people visited, word spread north about actually living there and now you're seeing the effects. Same thing happened to Hilton head. My biggest fear is that the same thing will end up happening to Jekyll (argue as to whether or not this has already happened to st simons). But ft Walton had this happen with destin blowing up and Sarasota down to naples has experienced the same thing

I always love the people who move from high-tax areas to low-tax areas, then immediately vote to raise taxes. Well, them and the people who move to desert areas "for their allergies," and then immediately plant all of the same damned plants that triggered their allergies back where they came from.

I have no problems getting around Destin or Ft. Walton

When it got to the weekend traffic was never a problem. Downtown was busy but surrounding areas weren't so bad.

The surrounding areas used to be woods.

I wonder what they're going to do about the municipal golf course on James island. I don't see how golfers are expected to be able to cross Maybank highway now. It's a bumper to bumper road rage fest both ways. I bet the developers are lined up drooling hoping to get a hold of that golf course land too.
