Drive through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. You hear everybody saying, "Where are all these people coming from? And where do they get all this money?" You see new construction, expensive make-overs, "gentrification", gated communities sprouting up in the most unlikely places--money! money! money! golf courses! golf courses! golf courses! movie stars! zillionaires! horses! yachts! private planes!
It's quite a shock.

And where do they get all this money?"I've been asking that for 50 years. No one wants to tell me. :-)

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

Exactly the reason I didn't re-locate in those states. Too many NYers. I moved over the mountains to get more bang for my pension buck. West Virginia IS almost heaven!

Actually, here in Central NC the Yankees bring lots of cash derived from selling their homes, try to make it here on less than $30,000 a year, then give up, sell their new homes and move on. I see them on the sidewalks around here all the time, shaking their heads and wondering how to keep a household up on a temp's wages (the IT companies here are concentrating on H1-b's, temps, and new college grads for personnel).
My realtor friend is making a fortune off them; catches them coming and going.
