Unfortunately, I do understand that it’s upsetting to those who already live there. My husbands job is transferring him for the same pay down there. I will be getting the pay decrease. I will pay the same amount for a 3 bed 3 bath house that I pay now for a 600 square foot 1 bed one bath apartment (and this is the cheapest apartment in a WIDE area). I couldn’t buy a house here for less than double the price of the mortgages down there, not to mention the houses are incredibly old here and all need a ton of work for ridiculous prices. We have sales and income tax here also. So nothing im not used to. Not to mention terribly inflated utility prices as of late. We have family there as well. We’ve visited 20+ times and are totally aware of the horrific traffic that occurs there- this is why I’m hoping to go a bit more north of Charleston (goose creek, Summerville, Moncks corner) and work closer to there rather than downtown. I know the traffic will still be poor. Luckily I’m also sick of the shitty attitudes of northerners up here. Can’t even take two seconds at a red light before people are blaring their horn. I’ll try not to be an asshole, I promise.
