    I live in the southern US where people keep moving to. I don’t know why they’re attracted to this place. My partner and I both hate it and have plans to move to the northeast where it’s a little more remote and there are less assholes per square mile.

        The area I’m in has skyrocketed and has some of the highest rent I’ve ever seen in my life (saw $5400/m for renting part of a house.) The folks moving here are mostly remote workers from what I can gather, so they basically make it impossible for other residents to afford rent. I’ve talked to waitstaff here that say they can’t even live in the town they work in.
