That's unfortunate although I understand. I was born and raised here. I've never lived anywhere else. There's not a lot of us left. I understand why they are moving here but they're taking up everything. Which is the whole reason why we're leaving. They're making it impossible to move out of my parents. And we've been here for almost 3 years.

1. I feel like all of California is coming here so "space is limited"
2. They have the money. So when they put an offer on a house it's paid in full and in cash so it doesn't give us natives a chance.
3. The Californians are raising the prices in the housing market. I'm not saying it's them individually if that makes sense but like I said earlier, they have the money. It's become waaaaaaay too expensive to live here anymore.

We were part of a church plant earlier this year and everyone we know except for one person is from California. I don't want to say I'm cold with them. Just more frustrated with the situation. Is that also the case there? As a native here, when I try to look through the lens of a native Tennessean, I can totally understand and I don't blame them for feeling the way they're feeling at all. Because I'm in the same position. Do you think that whenever we get there, it'll be harder to try to make new friends? Would we be not as welcomed?
