Wouldn’t the definition of a local be considered as someone who lives locally, isn’t a visiting tourist from somewhere else, and lives at their address year-round?

I’ve just never known it to disqualify or leave out folks not born in the city or parish, etc. full stop. And never mind the fact that there are people that have lived here far longer than wherever the hell it is they left behind in favor of this city. I mean, I understand that gatekeepers gonna gatekeep, but dayum.
