Screw Ohio and everyone moving from there. Screw all the Johnny come latelys. I’m staying here for work until I retire. Leaving and going to Beaufort after that. The hipsters can all go pound sand too.

Well, if no one from out of town moved in here, there would a severe shortage of qualified people to fill the jobs. Think I'm wrong? Find an employee from the new Volvo plant, and ask them how qualified the applicants are from the surrounding area. I have been told several times, that if Volvo knew there would be this much trouble finding qualified employees, they would have never built the plant.
As far as the growth, it was good times back in the day, land was cheap and available. If you complain about building on it, then buy it and pay the taxes. If not, someone else will come along and buy it for more, and build what they want. Good old property rights.
What’s worse, a native liberal, or a transplanted conservative?

What do you expect in our work force when the liberal school system leaves no child behind? Welcome to the fruits of liberal idiots dumbing down America and now our new workforce.

I am all for the growth in Charleston as long as they stay on the other side of the Dawhoo. Although despite the majority of people doing their best to prevent it unfortunately Edisto might end up looking like Johns Island one day.
Being a *real Charleston native, I’ve seen a lot change. Getting from downtown to James Island during rush hour traffic 15years should would take at most 15mins. Now I can’t even imagine the time. It took me almost 2 hours to go 7.6 miles from work to home about 2 weeks ago.
Seems that it’s beyound overpopulated and everything goes up in price, except our paychecks. It’s about impossible just to get a “good morning” from anyone nowadays. Not the same Charleston I grew up knowing

I’ve said for most of my 37 years that I’d never have any reason to leave, everything I want is right here…
Unfortunately now there’s more that I don’t want than what I do want here. Not sure if, or when, but I’m seriously thinking about relocating. The schools are suffering, and so is my sanity.
As far as Poopy Ball’s comment about the workers, what that guy didn’t tell you is that they won’t pay to get people worth a (**(). Same thing Boeing did and same complaints they made - I watched it from the inception and trained the unqualified people coming in, while the qualified workers that WANTED to work their asses off sat on the sidelines over a couple of $/hr. It’s happening to this day.
So when was the best time to live Iin Charleston?
And why?
Ohio didn’t know about us then…

. That’s a good one. I remember when Walterboro was a bigger town than Summerville or Beaufort and mocks corner was littler than cottageville. When a few of the big land holders and mom and pops here in Walterboro die out I believe we’ll be in for a large growth spurt.
I think a lot of blame should go to joe Riley and how he forced a lot of the locals out of family homesteads by making them unable to afford the taxes. That was the gateway to all the land sales. IMO.

I remember when you could drive from James Island to Folly on a summer day and NOT sit in an hours worth of traffic.
