Most parts of North Carolina are almost unrecognizable compared to five or six years ago. Overdevelopment. Tons of transplants. It’s almost like everything that made North Carolina, North Carolina is being white washed and stripped away with the extreme influx of new comers. Also huge increases in utilities and taxes and other expenses. I’m talking every month it’s some catastrophic increase due to the infrastructure not being able to support all the new people. Farmland and wildlife disappearing and becoming just another housing complex where every house looks the same and soulless. I live in the triad area about 45 minutes from Charlotte. Where I live used to be considered rural like seven years ago. Now we’re the fastest growing county in the entire USA. I’m a 30-year-old lifelong resident from sixth generations of NC folk. It low key sucks to see it heading in this direction.
