Climate change is driving people North.  They say the Rust Belt is going to get an influx of climate refugees cause of all the uninhabited land and fresh water.

First thing they do is throw up their fences. :lol:

You move into the woods, where everyone is surrounded by woods. Why do you want to stare at a ugly ass fence. Lock yourself in house with the blinds closed. God forbid, you may have to wave at a neighborhood or make some small talk with them.

And just get irate that their gravel roads are sloppy when it’s raining 

 

get mad at machinery and dust and noise. And sprayers 

dont realize they need a real machine to plow their yard out. Get mad there’s no garbage pick up 

buy a house on a haul road then try to get them to shut down hauling on that road

Yup!   It is fun to watch.  Thinking you are going to push your hilly acre and half lot with a battery mower. 
 

When we first moved in, we were the kids. Neighbors all got  together after work for beers, standing in someone’s yard or garage. Our dogs running everywhere. Kids tearing up and down the road on go karts, bikes, 4 wheelers. They were good times. Glad my kids got to experience it. Now, there is only a handful of us. All the city people that have moved in park in garage, run the door down and hide.

Your new big shit goes well over 15mph i'm sure, but my old shit goes 15.  Every fucking time on the road I get people passing me going up a blind hill, or around a blind turn, when in another 300 ft. it's straight and you can see for at least a 1/4 mile.  And ride my ass, like i'm gonna be able to go any faster.  Hey fucknuts, my favorite hobby is watching racing, just about any form of it that involves fast shit on wheels.  Don't you think if I could go like a bat outta hell, and get my day done quicker, i'd fucking do it!?

Fucking waste-case blowholerider morons.  Not a goddamn ounce of common fucking sense.

yes.  or give you the finger after you pull over to let them by after they've only been behind you for a mile.

When I was in Destin in January you couldn't go anywhere without tripping over a for sale sign.  Lots of stuff for sale, people just don't like the price.  Housing prices along with insurance costs have gone way up in Florida.  That's if you can even get insurance.
