I just moved to South Carolina from California. I was born and raised in Cali my whole life up until now. I was so in love with Cali that I always said I would never ever leave. Cali was, at least I thought, where I was MEANT to be and the best place in the whole US. I have been here in South Carolina or almost a year now and not only would I would NEVER go back to Cali, but I love it here SO MUCH that I am 30 years old and I truly want to stay here for the rest of my life. Not only is SC one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, but the amazing, kind, humble, LOYAL & REAL people that live here is absolutely unbelievable. Literally the complete opposite of California. So, in my opinion, I don't agree with this at all. All the AMAZING positives that SC has, MAJORLY outweigh the negatives that are mentioned here. Just my opinion!
Welcome to SC, glad you are loving it.
@Amber Rowe -- I agree with your message, I was born/raised in Cali and relocated to Georgia during the year 2000, before then I declared most of my life that I would never ever live in another state, but we all know now that Cali isn't what it once was... Now after living in Georgia for 22 years, I'm ready to move/retire to either South or North Carolina... I've been researching/visiting particular cities but have not decided which area is best for me at this point in time.
I was born raised in South Carolina and would love to return my home state. Yes South Carolina does have bugs and snakes but alligators I'm really curious about. Perhaps he's talking about Florida. As far as flooding goes, that can happen in any state. I'm really glad that you're enjoying my home state. I miss everything that's back there!
I'm from cali and I hear ya
@@kathrynmiller9622 I live in richland county and we have a lot of alligators
As a SC transplant from NJ after 6 years in the low country, my man is spot on ! But the people, the culture, the weather, the location, it's all good. Sure you can find bad anywhere if you look. But for me, I love it here.
This!
Moved here from south New Jersey in 2003. The northern attitude is horrible as well as the crime. We moved to SC and never went back, even to visit. The humidity, not the heat, is rough. The bugs are a pain but we had them in NJ. Taxes are everywhere in every state.COL SC rates #22 actually. And NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS all have the same type of bugs. Hubby lived in FL and his aunt used to kill palmetto bugs with a brick and hair spray. Blessings
*I agree. 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC
@@donnacrittermom6129 the fact that you think the Northern attitude is worse than the Souths WOW, it’s your opinion but it’s a reach!!!! Racist literally destroy that states potential! I rather be in NJ where they are here but they KNOW BETTER because it don’t slide up here!
Being from NY I think the adjustment would be hard living without 24 hour everything and driving everywhere would drive me crazy.
I’m from South Carolina this video is true for the most part but the upside stands out .. lot of humble people here ! Not a place for growth but definitely a retirement state.. lots of fun but lots of downsides 🤷🏿♂️.. so it depends on what types of person you are ! If your looking for excitement then this is not the place for you .. but if your humble nd looking to chill nd be out the way nd enjoy a peaceful quiet life then sc is the place for you
Definitely don't walk in the woods alone bc u won't make it out of them woods alive unless you're armed with a good gun and flashlight
💯 agreed from SC too and this is accurate
Im from SC too and I agree not a place for growth but def. Chill and relax or become a drug addict lol
This video is so true. We bought a small farm here in s.c. you have to know your flood zones before buying. Bug's are in plenty. Definitely gets hot. Wish I moved here years ago. Totally love it. Great neighbors. Good people. Found good job.
THANK YOU😢
I've been in South Carolina for 7years
I was about 26 when I came. I was from Virginia and found that I had a hard time excelling with the pace and lack of opportunities in Virginia. I came to South Carolina and quickly realized it is a stable state for someone looking for life experience with little distractions, and a place to make and save money for the next move in your life. There are definitely pros and cons, one con being the closed mindedness of some of the locals, and one pro being the availability of fairly profitable work. I live in the upstate and find that it isn't a hard place to make work for you if you come with a plan
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I think people are too hard on SC. I lived in VA too. And when I moved to SC, I found it rather easy to fit in.
Don’t forget the liquor stores close at 7pm 🤦♂️ smh
WORD I HATE IT HERE‼️
I’m from up north and lived in a congested violent work your self dead city. I’m in the upstate now and I love it! I’m black and it’s been okay so far! I’m middle aged and I welcome a slower pace with all the “negatives” that come with it.
I moved from the north to the upstate around 30 years ago. I loved until the past 2 years excessive litter has become a real problem. I called both local and state agencies and they came out once to clean up a large area that I couldn't get to as it touched a busy road. Litter is a huge problem and no officials seem able or willing to address it.
@@joansmith1195 litter is bad in FL now too but I saw a lot of it in SC too.. Columbia.
@@joansmith1195 It's being done on purpose. The elites are destroying the land bc they know their empire is falling. They've sold the west coast to the Chinese and the east coast to the Russians. I live in a state capitol and the roads are filled with potholes that has damaged vehicles and no politician contacted seems to care any more. So obviously there's a code in the elitist world to steal as much money as possible before the demise
Hey we r thinking of moving to greenville from NY, is it diverse there, videos dont show many people of color
I'm from Columbia, South Carolina, born and raised. I moved back and now that I'm here, I regret it. The high taxes, low income, no housing for low-income, elderly, on Social Security! I'll never have a place of my own. I'm totally miserable and alone.
I'm so sorry you're alone. I feel that way too at times, but I shell myself away usually
I totally understand. I'm moved to Columbia with my now ex fiance. I have no family here. Everyone is in California.
I’m really sorry to hear that. I don’t know how elderly you are but it’s never too late to try and reevaluate what you want. Maybe you don’t need a house to be happy and the American dream isn’t all it’s cracked up to be; maybe finding new friends and companionship with people your age could be a short term goal. I don’t know, I hope your situation improves though. Columbia isn’t the best place for jobs
Move to California, you will know what is hell.
Facts
Born and raised here and a proud resident of South Carolina! Mostly everything you said is true but you should put an emphasis on the upper and lower state. 2 totally different cultures literally with different accents. Lower state has no job opportunities other than the tourist cities on the coast as opposed to the upper state of South Carolina!
Exactly! Us in the upstate are totally different from the lower
The difference is black and white. Guess which is which? The lower part of the state has the beauty and the rich culture. I make a point of going down to the lower part of the state at least twice a year. Beaches, rich culture, entertainment, etc. St. Helena Island/Penn Cemter is one of my favorite spots. 🖤

Hi how is Greer SC area ?
My brother good comentary on the Carolinas. However iam from the west coast and really appreciate the quality of life that south Carolina offers. Been here since 2013 and absolutely love it. 1hour from Charlotte, 3 hours from atl , 4 hours from Jacksonville Florida, 3 hour from Tennessee. Also the coast of living is great to me .had a house built and living like a king 🤴. Also Health care for me is free thanks to my company. I agree this is the worst drivers 🚗 in the world
JT...money buys SO MUCH MORE in South Carolina !!!
I am also from the west coast and have been in SC for over 10 years. While Sir Ashley makes good points, I have not regretted living here. Every state has their flaws!! For me, as a Californian, I thought the driving would be better here, but NO!!! :-(
You must be in the metro? I love Columbia. Moving back in another year or so.
@@judiber2088 no doubt living off the golf course in cobblestone park which is in Blythewood sc and you couldn't pay me to go back to LA
@@catherineprince5345 no regrets at all the best move of all time. Super peace and no stress or traffic. I will visit LA if I mess it
Rock Hill, SC born and raised! 😂 this made me laugh. It’s all true 💞
I said the above before watching the whole video. Not a fan of the gates of hell stuff or the fact that you and your family were yelled at (or made to feel like they were yelling ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ at you) I am white and conservative. And any true conservative would not tolerate those actions. It’s unfortunate that people are straying so far from God that they hate over something as small as pigment and culture. Embrace it people! We won’t be fixed until we let love lead us.
South Carolina is a very beautiful place. We do have a lot of poverty stricken towns that I would love to see built back up. I bought a house in Chester in 2013. Chester is a dying community, but it has so much potential! It’s really sad to see such a beautiful area deteriorate right before your eyes.
I purchased property in Lancaster Sc and I agree!!! It’s a different kind of hate I see.
Fuck rock hill Rbt for life
Me too born and raised rock hill 👋
Planning on moving to South Carolina I'm so sick and tired are people bashing red States what in the hell is it going to take for you to open your eyes and see what is happening to our country now that blue is in the White House OMG wake up people and quit affiliating the proud boys are whoever that F they are with conservatism
SC is the LARGEST buyer of mobile home /trailer houses in the USA. Its also choked with relig whack jobs,the weather is good ,tho, temps are always in the 1860s....ha ha ha ha
Huh!? Me & my husband moved from MN. The mosquito's here are NOTHING compared to MN. The cost of living is fantastic compared to MN. Our house here is worth $300,000 more than our home back in MN and we pay HALF the property taxes. Everything is cheaper here. You are correct about it being deep red and the love of the 2nd amendment (thank God on both accounts). 😁🇺🇸💪
Carolina 20! I’ve been cheated. Came back here after the military and put on an easy 40. Hopefully I saved someone else their 20.
From St. Helena Island, SC and you’re correct on everything.
Ps: back in the day “skin so soft by Avon” was the best spray for mosquitoes
Thanks for sharing!!
Brittany, you are right. Skin so soft was the best thing for mosquitoes. Now we have these ancient mosquitoes that are almost bigger than us and trying to run us out of town. It's working on some of the people but not on the evil people. They're still here...lol
Brittany I am from St Helena Island also…seaside rd
Yep still works here in NC wonderfully but all that other stuff they sell will just have you smelling like a chemical plant and you will still get ate up like nobodys business whewww especially after the rain!
My granny always rubbed my legs and arms with dryer sheets. I still do it today, to keep the mosquitoes off.
Born and raised in SC and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for you. I left after high school and didn’t return for many years. I’ve been around the world a few times since then but I’ll say this for certain. It’s like life it’s what you make it.
I'm from New York. I now live in SC and SC is a beautiful state and I love it here. Every state has negatives...but SC has more positives than negatives. Do a video on the positives.
Already have ruclips.net/video/65Nv5GIwie8/видео.html
Im from NY as well and though I havent moved there Lots of my friends from Bklyn moved there and they Love it. Its completely different compared to where we are from.
I'm also thinking of a move to SC. I also believe that it's what you make of it. I just know that NYC is not for me anymore.
@@thisizdub I’m born and raised in Brooklyn my entire family lives in SC and has never left. It’s definitely different. I think it’s beautiful to visit to relax but I can’t imagine living there… raising children or retiring I think it’s cool too. too chill for me otherwise😅. Follow what fits your lifestyle
Thanks for the video. I’ve travelled back and forth from my home in MD to visit SC for the past 20 years. I love the weather and resort beaches. I’m strongly considering retiring there. I also like the remote areas along I-20 to buy some land build a house and grow food.
I am in Md and looking To move to SC also. Every place has issues. SC has always been on my mind for moving there after retirement. Not much on the cold weather anymore.
Oh yeah South Carolina
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼great idea!
I agree, from Sc live in md past 25 years but am tried of cold weather.
I’m from Charleston and mostly everything you said is facts, facts and more facts!!!! Watching this only motivates me more to relocate except I don’t know where the world I would move to that isn’t stupid expensive!!!
oh really i like south carolin
Soon as he said flooding I felt triggered 😭. Fortunately I don't live DT anymore and don't have to run out and move my car to higher ground. New house sits on a hill.
U beautiful. Love the hair
Same here. I'm from the Chuck too
Charleston 843
I was born and raised in South Carolina and everything he is saying is absolutely true...
Racism, high cost, taxes, college football, pathetic driving...
Everything!
I live at Lake Marion in South Carolina, and its the most beautiful like with the nicest people ever, its not a bad place
Definitely racist city, Greenville
Don't forget lies, Karen's and their Karen husbands, and major corruption.
I wish I had watch this before I move because baby let me tell you I would have never moved to the south.... I love the state hate the cost lol... I pay more than I did in NYC
I was born in Charleston S.C. 69 years ago. I live now in Summeville S. C. The traffic is horrible now because everybody is moving here. I want to move to Tennessee with all my family as soon as I can on a big farm. The cost of land now has doubled since we were looking in Tennessee. So many people are moving there now too. It's unreal. I still love South Carolina.
What part of Tennessee. I lived in Nashville briefly and really enjoyed it. Yes, despite its challenges, still love SC!
@@advisorSirAshley Crossville, Tennessee. My son has been looking at farms so all of the family members can have some land. He loves the cattle,goat's, chickens. He has fainting goat's now and chickens. Can' wait to get to the mountains. This is on top of a plateau..Mountains in distant. Maybe 60 miles from Gatlinburg. Enjoy your videos. ,
Thank you for your info on South Carolina. I was looking into moving into this area but now I'm changing my mind.
Moved here 2 years ago, ideal for my situation & LOVE IT HERE IN SC. IM in a no flood zone, no inspection sticker needed for my car, paid 199k for my home its @280k value now. Disabled vet no property taxes for 100% serv. Con. Vets. my mortgage is $900mo, 2400 sqft. Home that's 10 years old better than $1600 for a 1bdrm bedroom in Boston. Cost of living is NOT HIGH!!!
Hi! Was it difficult to get approved for the vet property tax exemption? And was it expensive to pay taxes to the county for you to be able to register your car? Disabled vet looking into relocating and wondering
Where are you located? I'm a diable vet looking to return home, which is SC. By the way, I'm in the Boston area as well.
Could’ve done that in California
I relocated in July but I'm heading back north . Its good for visiting butttttt......be ready to slow down a bit . I hate the new breed of spiders here 😁🤣
I live in Charleston South Carolina as we speak bone and raise .. and yes we deal with a lot but I love it .. this is home 💯💯💯💯
Facts
My daughter used to live in Summerville. They just bought a home in Dorchester. She was born in Ohio, but raised in SW Florida. We live in Ohio now. We go for occasional visits. About the only thing I like about it is the good food. I don't like snakes or bugs or heat. Put up with that 25 yrs in Florida. Just hate the heat and humidity.
He forgot to include property tax for your vehicle. In the state of Ohio that's non existent.
Lol! We pay personal property taxes on our vehicles in Arkansas
Ikr
Oh I know move from Ohio. I wanted to keep my Ohio tags 😂😂
Same for Florida. The vehicle property tax in SC is absurd.
However, the sales tax on a vehicle is 5% or a limit of $500. In Virginia, you pay the local sales tax rate. If you buy a $50,000 car in VA sales tax is at least $2,500 and you still have a personal property tax every year. In SC, the sales tax limit is still $500.00.
Only part that threw me off was saying SC drivers are slow. Even the slow lanes here go 10 or more over and on interstates everybody in the 90-110 range
I am looking at relocating to SC but the houses are starting to be just as high has Atlanta
Ya that's why I left SC and went to FL too. I figured nothing to lose. A lot more to do there. And it's not that much more for rent even if it is. But then along the way I found that FL lost its swing state status overnight and they're trying to make it more boring like SC. Like a proposed curfew even in Ybor city. It's getting deep red in FL too like in SC. I had to come back here to find that out though.
Wish this video came out 5 yrs ago before I moved here from California. U not lying about your 10 points but I do love the lowcountry
I've lived in South Carolina since 1987, and you hit the nail on the head. Oh, you ought to mention the sky-high car insurance in your next video.
I'm originally from North Carolina, and sure do miss it.
Happy New Year, and God bless
❤🙏❤
Why is the car insurance high?
Damn that’s my birth year
Due to the abysmal driving you see on a daily basis. People stopping at green lights and yield signs (when wholly unnecessary) and strings of cars blowing reds. Intersection blocking, driving like they missed their calling in NASCAR, hit and runs (been hearing a lot about them where I live in Spartanburg). There are plenty more reasons I missed, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind...
@@pauldehayes1898 North Carolina not much better. Dont they give out tickets in the Carolinas? Moved here about 2 years ago and I was rather shocked.
NC isn’t any better for car insurance or drivers, especially in Cumberland county!
Born and raised here and I still love it. ❤️ You told no lies, we do need a lot of improvements. Especially in wages and lowering our state income taxes.
SC needs clean light industry, you don't have a large land mass so it's hard to put industry in, no gas or oil production keeps energy costs up
AWESOME info. My ancestors (McElveen and Poplin) from WAY back from the 19th century are from Sumter SC. I sort of thought about buying something there… Glad I saw your video.
Thank you!
I’ve lived in South Carolina my whole life and I think it’s very good and myrtle beach may be a good place for hanging out
Damn I remember that flood in 2015.. all the power was out and if you weren’t prepped you probably didn’t eat good in about 2 days.. I remember bilo got power first and everybody got meat to throw on the grill man that was the best feeling ever I was so hungry lol
Ok well what about the flood in 2016 which was hurricane Matthew?
Sir Ashley, I want to thank you for these videos. I am possibly relocating from Minnesota to Tega Cay, SC in about 5 years. You’ve helped me better understand the Carolinas!
John clay...friends live in Tega Cay....it us VERY NICE! .Also close to a wonderful airport ...Charlotte. stay on the SC side for TAX PURPOSES. NC is much worse ....more EXPENSIVE!
..
I'm from upstate SC (salem, seneca, and soon to be central) and I am not a fan of the healthcare, the people, the education, the taxes that DON'T fix the roads, or much of anything else. If you want a job you can pick between retail, food, or manufacturing plants. The trailer parks are a nightmare. We are thinking about leaving the state eventually to see what's out there. I went to college in Greenville and loved every minute of it, so don't consider this a blanket statement. We are just fed up with this area.
I I totally agree with you about South Carolina I was born and raised here move back here in 2014 only because I retired from the military and not looking for anything but South Carolina really sucks the people here do not think outside the box's
Born and raised in Greenville, its grown so much. I've been back a little over 2 years but think I'm moving again. Speaking of flood is raining like crazy while I'm commenting. Great points but they still coming like crazy lolol
I was born there but lived in NYC also. And I was thinking about going back as I have retired. And now, you have ruined everything. Thanks a lot, buddy! 😅😅😅
This is my 1st time on this channel. Loved it!! I live in South Carolina and your Rite. I've been here for 3 years, I wouldn't go anywhere else. The people are great and so is the cooking.
My advice Move toward the
West..
States like: Nevada, Utah, Arizona..
And finally State
of: New Mexico..
These are the States that are
BETTER than
South Carolina..
Just moved here 6 months ago from NY by way of two years in Florida. We are in farm country and it is beautiful. To add to your bug list, fleas seem to love it here too. Take a look at Long Island’s property taxes, SC is nowhere near that insanity.
Ah yes, LI! I visited my grandma often up in Bellmore, usually during the summer. Pops worked as dispatch at Bellmore Taxi some time ago before moving to Maine. Spring weather's nice, but the traffic congestion is for the birds....Didn't know that bit about the property taxes though.
I bet your taxes are half (depending on how big your farm is, bet even more) of what you were paying up there.
South Carolina is for native born South Carolinians
@@jackdavenport3247 Yep. Way too many goddamn people migrating from different states who somehow never learn how to adjust to driving here. SC has far too many traffic fatalities, and it’s thanks to all of these cunts from different states trying to drive in one place. What a shit show that’s causing.
@@jackdavenport3247 not anymore
My parents retired to Mt. Pleasant. Hot, humid, flooding, storms, snakes, bugs and very conservative. No thanks. You did a good job. I went to the Citadel once for a dress parade and they played Dixie! Unbelievable! True story.
What? We love ❤️ Dixie here in S.C. , it's not up north so yea there are alligators, swamps ect . We also have beautiful mountains, beaches, and fascinating historical areas ie pirates , British colonies, American revolution, cradle of the Confederacy, beautiful historical homes in Charleston and other places. No , it's not perfect no where is however as a born n bread S.C. native I wouldn't want to call anywhere else home. Enjoy all your blessings 🙌 and a wonderful day.
@@michaelrains2268
Ditto. Born and raised Southern and Proud. Agree with everything you said. 💯
Keep your ass where you are,we don't need nor want you
@@michaelrains2268 Yeah, no surprise that "Dixie" is still popular in the backwards open sewer that is SC. I'd expect nothing less.
@@jonathancox1231 Ah, that famous southern hospitality!
I love my state 🌙🌴❤️
Grew up in SC, went to school in SC and go back often.
Driving in SC particularly Columbia is the worst. I've driven in DC, ATL and NYC. SC is worse.
He told no lies.
Hear me out....we just moved here from middle of Philly and Baltimore....I'm thinking driver's are worse here because everyone from everywhere just flocked here and they don't mix well...hard to tell though it's pretty bad here and the roads..Jesus I got a $450.00 speeding ticket my 3rd day here. Why don't they fix the roads with it lol
Fuck no. Traffic in DC Atlanta and NYC is way damn worse than here
@@juliamitchell365 ya it's a more relaxed Tampa kind of environment in Columbia where the drivers still sick ass.
@@juliamitchell365 also I went through Baltimore before and I think they're good drivers there for the most part.
A lot of these issues are strictly due to the rise is people moving here. As an SC native, please stay away, or if youre expecting that "southern hospitality" bring hospitality with you because here its literally "treat others how you want to be treated". So if you come looking for trouble you will find it, just dont get mad when we are better at it than you
Exactly! This state isn't any better or worse than anywhere else. ALL states have their issues.
I was raised in Sumter, SC. My son and sister are still there. I left after I graduated high school and never came back (to live) mainly bc of the economic opportunities. I love the heart of the people there but if your not “southern” in speech or thinking they tend not to be open or accepting. If you’re into different cultures and you’re an open minded person, it may not be the state for you. I now reside in Dallas Tx which is home for me and I love it Houston too! There’s a lot of economic opportunity out here and it’s very diverse. I love to visit and kick it in SC but I could never live there again.
They are way too many people living in the Upstate. We have no more room and housing is limited.
I moved to SC about 3 years ago and cant see what’s so great or beautiful here. I’m sure there’s some great spots but from the terrible driving, lackluster restaurants and backwards way of life here I dont see myself wanting to stay. The school systems definitely leave much to be desired.
Nothing great about South Carolina NOTHING poor as fuck. File your taxes and owe a hospital bill you won't have your taxes back 🙄
The midlands got super flooded during late 2015, it was crazy
Well lm late watching the video , and I'm from South Carolina and that's where I'll be returning it beats living in Philadelphia for over 30 years but I'll keep watching
I actually like philly but u gotta understand I ain't lived my life I'm 24 feel like I'm wasting time in sc
Bruh
Outstanding stuff.
I'm on my second video of yours in just an hour.
May God richly bless you.
Move here 4 years ago in simpsonville sc. Out standing !! no floods bugs not bad good and bad in everything
Born, raised, and currently live in S.C.❤🖤 The U .S. is the U.S. Every state "below Canada is the South." Malcolm X. Red State? Blue State? Republicans? Democrats.? Two wings of the same bird. Folks, S.C. is a good place--- at least as good as any other state in the U.S.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m born and raised in SC and I’ve been around the world but it’s still what you make it. I’ve been better places than home but I’ve been worse places too.
Truth. Bird that needs it's wings clipped. But I won't be stepping up onto my soapbox this evening. I just read words I have spoke and wrote myself an exhausting amount of times.
That’s 💯 correct! Been to Toronto and Montreal and the people consider the states as the South. Idc bout republicans and democrats cause they don’t give a damn bout us till election time so I’m independent. Other than that, I was born n raised in the Lowcountry of South Cackylacky but reside in Greenville and your right. It’s about making the best of your situation. Been driving trucks for almost 10 years and seen most the country but there’s no place like home. 💯
Omg I hate being here I moved to Cali and had to come back bc my mom is sick I cannot wait to move again it's definitely a retirement state and crab n a barrel state 🎯💯🙏🏾
Say whatttttttt ? How can someone say anything good bout the majority of this fuckery ! Those people are horrible and they will cause strife in your life especially if you’re from outta town/ the big city mainly! Whew I almost lost my mind there
Super Crabs in a Bucket hate on everything and positive movements!
Fo Sho ‘
I really enjoyed this video. I found myself laughing at times now that my family and I have been in SC for a year and a half. We moved from Philadelphia, PA. I miss my family there, but that's about it. I love SC. It's beautiful here and the southern accents reminds me of my dad who moved to Philadelphia from AL.
I am from the Charleston area (Summerville) and I must agree to the healthcare or insurance across the board is way more expensive! However, it was the most wonderful place to lived and the most welcoming and kind people there. They were the most uplifting people that I have ever met. You don’t have to worry about gaining weight from all the delicious food because you will be happy and have plenty of beautiful weather to get out to enjoy the endless activities they have to do all year round. Yes, the heat may be there, but I prefer it to that nasty white four letter word “snow”. South Carolina is a paradise to live in and Summerville is like living in a present day “Mayberry”!
South Carolina is beautiful as far as land. Cost of living is high with the terrible salaries.
This all facts Car taxes are hell a non luxury car $600+. Luxury cars $1000-2000+. Cost of living high . Jobs don't pay. Def treated bad in alot of places for your skin color. The work culture people come to work to make everyone life miserable. Lol
BBQ and seafood good. But I find the lack in diversity in foods like other states. Ppl think some of these restaurants good and to me I can cook better than this at home. They just want eat chicken tenders,burgers and fries everyday. Lol
Bruh!! Everything I thought u forgot, you covered it!! Great video! The zoo is full of people from outside of the city of Columbia, they're just visiting. Columbia SC is a black city. For years even the mayor has been African American. Even has a historically black college, Benedict College. Since December they've been having real earthquakes! They just had one 2 days straight June 28th and June 29th 2022. The city of Columbia also treats Juneteenth like its July 4th. Firework displays and celebrations everywhere. Also I would definitely advise people to find out the HOA laws for the community they plan on moving to. Columbia SC is a great place to live though, especially coming from Jersey City and especially being a city inside of a red state.
Jeez, 57 yr SC native here.
I see the comments.
I see and feel your presence in my state. Our costs here in SC are skyrocketing because so many are fleeing their democratically controlled states. I speak for all when I say Welcome, but drop your left leaning politics at the border from where you come. We don't want it. We don't need it. We in SC are truly about God, Guns and Country. We stand for the flag and kneel at the Cross.
We believe in freedom and freedom is not free. We smell bullshit a mile away.
You'd best be all in. We got your back, you best have ours. If this feels good to you, bring it. If you're not sure, go somewhere else.
Peace and love people!
"I see and feel your presence in MY state".
You own nothing sir. Stop paying personal property taxes then tell South Carolina this is YOUR state when they come to collect..
"I see and feel your presence in MY state".
I'm certain the original native Americans prior to May 23, 1788 when South Carolina was admitted to the union felt the same exact way you do about incoming settlers. How did they turn out ?
Skyrocketing costs ? It's called inflation.
57 years on earth wasn't enough time for you to figure out economics ? How to accumulate wealth in the most abundant country that has ever existed on earth ?
Listen to Jim Rohn here on RUclips. He's the wisdom we all should have heard.
We are all visitors here on Earth for a finite time and we own nothing and we leave this realm with nothing. Humble yourself .
Peace and Love !
Thank you for making this video. Safe travels!
Since I have been here since ‘93, taxes are going through the roof, roads are horrendous, they can’t plan for the growth, zero infrastructure, and on average one sits in 1-2 hrs of traffic a day. Add that up over the year….can’t wait to get out of here!
Hah like a south Massachusetts where you get none of the benefits to the costs or taxes. People must feel terribly ripped off. I know I did when I lived in SC. 5 months of that was all I could handle.
I was born and raised in Allendale, South Carolina, and what you said is very true, but as to flooding, in the country, when the flood water goes down, snakes and alligators shows up in record numbers. So you will need a gun for sure
As someone who has lived in the lowcountry part of South Carolina for 17 years, I will say, the flooding part in my area is only when a hurricane comes close or skids by. My area, Beaufort, Bluffton, Hardeeville, Okatie, Ridgeland, Hilton Head, is full of bad drivers!! People flying through traffic without a care in the world. So many accidents everyday. Now my area also has alot of shootings! I know alot of areas or states do, but alot of shootings, retaliations, drugs.
I would definitely want to watch a video of just the lowcountry, I think alot of people need to know what is going on in my area, alot of people move here.
I assume that, in typical Southern "logic", the remedy to increased shootings is -- get even *more* guns out there. Make it *easier* for people to get ever more guns. I'll bet the local (Republican) politicians wrap it up in the American flag and blather about "freedom". Doesn't sound like you're seeing a lot of "freedom", eh?
Thank you for the video I appreciate the content I'm actually a resident of South Carolina I live in Myrtle Beach it is hot and a lot of traffic but it is beautiful living right on the beach so I would recommend that if someone wanted to come to South Carolina come closer to the ocean it is nice to take a walk in the morning or in the evening to the beach
I'm from SC and you hit the nail on the head! 🥴
Recently moved to south carolina from n.j. Lmao from the statements.
So true. But I love my gun's, the people and the state. Even the bugs don't bother us. Great video. 👍
Clever approach. 👍🏼Best part of Charlotte/Rock Hill region is PERFECTLY located between mountains and beaches. Just far enough away you appreciate both when you get there. Not too close you take for granted and not too fat away you never go. 3 hrs ish either way. As 1 who hates lots of traffic yeah just stay away from SC. lol
I moved FROM SC to Phoenix, AZ in 2011. Extreme culture shock. You are accurate indeed about SC and I miss gardening but nothing else really. Hilarious commentary!! Loved it! ♥️ (I am a white conservative but I would not have yelled “Let’s go Brandon” at your family.)
BONNIE, I WOULD HAVE YELLED IT OUT TO ANYONE!
Also low min wage. Right on about mosquitos. Back in the day they used to drive thru neighborhoods spraying from trucks. We didnt have flying roaches back then either.
The worst thing about South Carolina is they don't want to hire Black Men other than for labor jobs. I know some many people with degrees and clean records that are working at Amazon or UPS. Because they can't get hired for any other jobs because...So a lot of people are going into business for themselves and etc but it's sucks to find that out after you've paid for college. Especially if you go to Midlands Tech, because a lot of applications don't even have that college listed on their application so you have to select Other. Which is another reason your application gets put in No pile.🤷🏾♂️
Based on what I heard I can’t wait to move to SC! And I am moving there from the location he said was best in NC (The Palisades!). It’s remarkable how politics and your views in life can make you both see the same thing yet feel completely different about it.
That’s alright, we South Carolinians are ok with the rest of y’all not moving here. We will keep all South Carolina’s hidden treasures for ourselves! I recently moved back to South Carolina after living in California for more than thirty years and so glad I did.
How do you deal with the flying roaches? Everything else I can handle.
Lmbo!!! Not the cousin analogy!! By the way never visit Orangeburg SC if you’re rude and disrespectful… you may not make it out…. Signed by an orangeburg native lol
Ob is something else
@@Itzjust-rennie higher crime than Columbia even I bet.
Charleston is a beautiful city. Excellent food. Highly recommend visiting.
You went in on my home state!! Now make a video detailing the 10 good things about South Carolina!! Still keep up the good work on these videos!!
Thanks Cedric. The video of 10 reasons to move to SC will be put out the 2nd or 3rd week of January.
@@advisorSirAshley I've born and raised in Charleston sc
Chuck town and your ass is wrong about Charleston sc
Take this video down asap
Wish I would have seen this before moving to Charleston last year. I love it here but where I live is expensive and the salary here isn’t it
More younger people went to FL to take a higher salary with them from another state but even FL is failing bad now too. I wouldnt recommend it even if SC sucks but I also had to return here to find that out. #1 it's no longer a swing state too.
I live in the Greenville area. Three things I hate.. Chiggers! Poison oak/ivy! The traffic has become horrendous with so many moving here! Rental prices on houses is also skyrocketing! I'm about priced out! 😢 On the other hand, you can go to the mountains any time you want, the beach is only 4-5 hours away, depending on how fast you drive, we have great food! And freedom is still respected here! SC isn't so much a red state. There's a lot of politician's and politics that are red, but there's a lot of blue too, especially in the southern part and along the coast. That's one reason we pay higher taxes.
FL might be more red in the present day than SC is then. Maybe SC is slowly turning moderate then where FL is getting insanely red but USED to be the swing state.
aw man... moved to upstate SC from orlando.. we LOVE it here. Traffic is NOTHING compared to where we came from. family values rule. It is beautiful here, people are so nice. Only thing I miss about orlando is the choice of places to eat.
Ain't no place perfect on this earth . Each state has it's ups and downs . I will always love South Carolina with the good , the bad and the ugly . South Carolina is a beutiful state and I am proud of it . Show me a perfect state with perfect people in it ! I wouldn't avoid South Carolina ! Be blessed and safe . Miss . Linda ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I moved to SC in 1997 at the age of 18. I moved from Jacksonville fl. I was treated like an outcast from the start. I live in Newberry SC. A smell town that don't like outsiders. The rumor mill is always open. There are good things in newberry. We have Lake Murray and great food.
I lived in Clover SC on the boarder near Gastonia. I was an outsider and I knew it. I moved out within 11 months. I just couldn’t take it. Had no friends and was going through a separation and soon to be divorce. SC is a beautiful state tho.
I have lived in SC most of my life and you have described the state quite well. Proud boys..we do have nut job protests from the L and the R intermittently. Sports- year round psychosis and I am part of it. Zoo-that Jordan stuff is “normally abnormal” these days -ballgames are a big outlet for it. Unless you were wearing a L leaning T shirt, 🤷🏼♀️ nothing was meant by yelling it in your presence. I have friends from all races/religions and they have all used the phrase once or twice. Yea… we cannot stand him but many of us did not like T either. Big difference between conservatism and the psycho right. Happy New Year!
Florida lost its swing state status too. I left SC hoping to get that same swing state when I came back to FL just to find now with all the new arrivals that FL is now deep red. Now this is like the deep south. So all that progress FL made is out the window. Might as well be in SC really or just leave the goddamn south period.
@@MeltinJohn You might be happier in California
@@MeltinJohn I agree, California is a great option.
@MeltinJohn
Please don't come to New Hampshire. The libs have caused enough harm.
live on the South Carolina side of the border between NC and SC and you can get the best of both worlds. Moved to Indian Land SC a year ago and love it despite the crazy influx of people and development going on.
They don't pay folks enough..my mom refused to move to California when my dad passed..chile she got me stuck here again been gone for 10 years only back 3 and ready to go again!
Agree born and raised here ... moved to Cali in 2017 and regret coming back 😅
I agree with most of your video. However, most of upstate S.C. is now from anyplace BUT S.C. They all bring their own, rude, driving behaviors and their demands with them. Word of advice..DO not move anywhere, insult the people, and then DEMAND Southern Hospitality. 😉 Also, flooding is so bad now bc of get-rich quick builders cutting out all our beautiful trees, paving, asphalting, etc...YES! That brings more flooding and reduces the air purification. We miss our trees and pastures. S.C. upstate used to be beautiful. NO infrastructures could keep up with this madness.
And some of these new arrivals came for the old idea of the south too I am sure as in racism, segregation and all that. The stuff that an amount of natives are trying to get beyond.
@@MeltinJohn 👍
Yesssss Sondra, all of this! Upstate is beginning to look less like the green, old-school woods and more like a strip-mine. Those stick-built houses are complete garbage (as heard from several contractors now), things like compromised slab foundations to cracking drywall. It can all be yours for the low, low cost of (wait for it) the "mid-150's", when usually it's more like 200k+ in decent areas. At least places like Fountain Inn, Woodruff, and parts of Laurens are still looking decent in that department, but definitely not the case for places like Greenville and Spartanburg....
You made a good point about the traffic and hopeless infrastructure.... I'm black and originally from Joliet, Illinois..... moved to upstate SC back when I was 17. I actually see a grand difference between then and now. It has become both crowded and congested. Drivers are very rude and always in a rush driving at race car levels unless cops are around of course. The communities and downtown areas have improved as far as being tourist attractions but they have also become bloated and expensive at the same time. They are trying hard with their infrastructure but the highways are still lacking in improvement in many areas... Potholes are just as plenty as the good food, so most cars will suffer the more they are used here. If you're a strictly political person then the gentleman in the video is correct. However, being a person that sees problems with both parties, I've learned to look beyond party affiliations and it does me well tbh, so I can live amongst dems or repubs, as long as I'm left alone. And trust me, Dems have really changed for the worst as well. I could go on but I digress.
Ironically I was initially planning to move to Charlotte but couldn’t afford it. Eventually I will make my way to N.C. to settle.
Born and Raised in SC. This video explains perfectly why I want to move out of this state.
I'm from Charleston, SC and I live in Moncks Corner, SC these are facts but we aren't poor and I'm grateful for that.
When you mentioned the taxes I thought it's like NY except with more bugs
It must be something about sc which is causing more people to move there.There are planning on building an interstate that will run up from Michigan down southeast into myrtle beach interstate 73.
I moved from Baltimore, MD and moved to the Charleston SC area. Here’s my pros and cons:
Pros:
I can buy blue crabs for cheap
land galor
A place I can def focus and save money
Close drive to Fl, GA and NC
Near beaches
Cons:
Boring
People seem programmed here
Natives don’t seem to welcoming of us Northerners
Food is HORRIBLE!!! there’s 1 spot I will recommend where the food is good and that’s Acme kitchen.
Property taxes
Liquor stores close at 7pm during the week and closed on Sunday
Can’t get steamed crabs
Downtown still has a raci$t feel to it
The list goes on.
We’re definitely ready to move
I'm a long time real estate investor in Central Virginia, and I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.
Thank you Richard! Lord willing, I will keep them coming.💪🏿
I live here in sc and it's not that bad tbh
I'm in West Ashley beautiful as downtown Charleston 5 minutes away born and raised downtown Charleston
Born and raised in South Carolina and I love it. But my brother you spot on with the mosquitoes and floods. But mainly the mosquitoes.
YESSSSS, BORN and raise....Run 5 Your Life!!! He is Accurate!
I'm from Beaufort SC 🌴🌴🌴 it's definitely a retirement and military town
Been here for two years.
Charleston has the worst drivers in America, the state tax can smd, And the roads have more holes than Swiss cheese.
I’ve got 10 months left lol
But it is very peaceful, and beautiful. ☺️
Thank you so much for the input. It really opened my eyes for what decision to make for an area to move to for my job.
Lived in NJ, all my life! Built a house in Horry county 2 years ago, as a retirement home. Currently, we go down about 3-4 a year. Retiring in 2 1/2 years and will be down for good!! We can not wait! I’ll take the heat, reptiles and bugs, over the snow, cold weather and ridiculous property taxes.
