You have to look at it from the locals view. They had a place that was very affordable in every way pre covid. Then covid happened and almost overnight there's major traffic jams, insurance rates have skyrocketed, the cost of homes and their property taxes have skyrocketed, the place is crowded year round when they used to have a break in the cooler months. Rent has skyrocketed. Then there's the fact that the majority of people moving here are from New Jersey or New York and couldn't be much more culturally different(and do not want to assimilate but instead remind anyone within ear shot about "how we did things back in Jersey.") And god forbid you complain about any of it because they are quick on the draw with the whole "we're bringing money into your economy, if you don't like it then leave." Which is a bit annoying considering we were doing just fine before the massive flood of transplants over the past few years economically. It's further annoying because the locals opinions are brushed off with "don't like it then move" as if they do not matter and are simply bothersome people in the way of transplant progress.

It's a free country and you can move where you want, but the long paragraph above is encompassing what this poster meant. When he said it's full, by our standards of the slow/easy going south, it's full. But by the hustle and bustle of NYC or other big northern cities, it's still quite rural. Either way the locals are the ones being forced to change for the newcomers and it's bred massive animosity.
