I was born and raised in Charleston and it used to be the funnest place you could ever want to live in. Then around the late 80's, there was an influx of over-development, Rich folks buying up our grand old Mansions and demanding that law enforcement and rules change to they way they had it where they left from. Certain groups with money attempted to turn it into something like a "Disney Village" and HOA combined and the brass was polished right off the doorknobs of society there. There isn't a single place left for a natural born old salt to enjoy a cold beer and a smoke.

It wasn't the late 80s... I would say it was around 1998. When the Navy Base left, Charleston took a major hit. But as the 2000s came in to view, development saw an uptick because land and old houses were cheap. The addition of Boeing and Mercedes in the 2000s also started the trend of moving to Charleston. It used to be such a great town. The town now seems fake... too clean, too bright, too ugh. They've ripped the soul out of a great city.

I left Charleston after 35 years, it just got to big. I was tired of the traffic, noise, mean people etc. Moved to the other side of Ridgeville in the country and love life now. So peaceful.

I live in Dallas, but have lived all over the US, including Columbus, Ohio, as a teenager. I found the people to be very nice. I did not like the blizzard and snow. The thing you need to worry about is Californians. Since so many companies have relocated to the Dallas area, traffic has become unbearable. It is not the amount, it is how aggressive and mean people are. I have a cousin in Charleston and am thinking about moving to the area. Do not let your politicians give corporate incentives to relocate there. It is not worth it. You lose more than you gain.

🌹💙 I was born and raised in the Deep South, imo your take on the dislike of Ohioans isn’t against people from Ohio per-se,’ it’s an anti-yankee sentiment in general. Lots of culture in the South and ancestral heritage. It’s in the blood-don’t take it personally. Blessings. 🙏

Bill, thanks for the video. I went out to Hilton Head a few weeks ago. First time to the east coast. I fell in love with the scenery and the hospitality. Charleston looks like an area I could transfer for work. Plus being from New Mexico I’ve been infatuated with the ocean since I was a kid. Would like to talk to ya more I have some fundamental questions.

Our family has been vacationing on Hilton Head Island, SC since the mid 1980’s. When our sons were little, we would go to see Gregg Russell perform in Harbour Town. He does an excellent show that the kids love but most of the time during his show he would throw in an Ohio joke of some sort. So maybe goofing on Ohio is a South Carolina Low Country thing, not necessarily a Charleston thing.

As a retired insurance agent I would never buy property in a flood zone or in an area exposed to hurricanes. If you want property near water buy a home in proximity to a fresh water lake or river but far enough away from potential flooding. We lived in Greenville SC for 8 years. We love SC especially Charleston. Love visiting Charleston but don’t want to live there.

People TRY and make snarky remarks, but if you have a good comeback it shuts them up. I usually tell them either “it wasn’t my choice to be from Ohio, that’s why I left” or if they ask why so many people are from there I say “when was the last time you vacationed in Ohio? Yeah, I wouldn’t want to go there and stay either!”

Truth be told it’s a lot of cocky people here but that bad batch doesn’t speak for the rest of us Ohioans. I’ve actually met people from other states that hate Ohioans but they seem to get along perfectly fine with me.
