From my experience petoskey locals except for the money hate the influx of summer people and any kind of transplants .The transplants especially who are almost always better educated and more affluent then the locals . A class dimension to be sure but a also more annoying is the fact transplants know of a world and have scene more of a world then the locals . Northern Michigan is provincial ,poor , conformist , angry .Most locals like to think their small and shrinking town is the center of the universe and despise hearing about other places where civilization functions at a high level & worse yet where nobody knows or cares about petoskey .Vacation yes but never move there unless you are into reverse evolution .
No, we hate the transplants because they take up jobs, housing and resources from locals. Same thing with tourists. They come here and treat us like garbage, buy property that they don't live in 99% of the fucking year, while the people who do live here year-round suffer from housing shortages, lack of stable jobs and resources. Transplants don't know anything that we don't know.
