South Carolina Isn't What You Think It Is Anymore 

Good video, my opinion is South Carolina sucks so hard I strongly suggest you look elsewhere, especially if you are of color... Every political figure is laughable corrupt, both black and white races still segregate, yes blacks... Look up national pan hellenic society aka BOULE... If anyone wants to debate me on this I have currently 5 federal lawsuits from civil rights infringements by the state agencies, I come from California so I'm not down with the good old boy systemic bullish.... If you white, you already have it good so why go to south carolina, it's like wasting your whiteness 😂 And humidity and bird size mosquitos are definitely not good things.. Do not come to south carolina, move to north carolina it's better there...

How come you always forget about North Charleston

I am from rock hill s.c. and i disagree with you.

@nick Johnson why ask questions to the guy who hasn't been in South Carolina long enough to even go into detail(s) about the basic questions that you're asking? A "native" would have been more suggestible. He keeps saying "they"..."they"... "they"... and "I think."

Thanks for talking more about my state

HaHaHa! I'm a native Charlestonian, and back in the 80s there was a Georgian comedian that had this same concept in his monologue. My favorite of his is: "If you don't like how we do things down here, and you moved here from the North, then Delta is ready when you are." I said that to one of my co-workers, who every other word out of his mouth was 'back in ..., we did it this way'. He got mad at me and reported me. I told him that we don't like northerners telling us how to do things down here, and if you disliked where you lived before, then why did you move out of there and compare everything to your old hometown? We became friends after a time.

Amen

Yankees moving to SC in droves to get away from the north. Not all Yankees are upidy and do appreciate SC-I’m one of them 😊

Lol when they move here and challenge the status quo, we end up looking like your California videos. They can call us backwards if they want but we don't look like California.

You’re backwards

And they can load up these gangsta- thug life want to bes and take 'em with 'em when they leave. They same to be so impressed with 'em.

I mean your not wrong.

I don't blame you one bit.

For real these Yankees need to quit coming down here with their cookie cuter/ hoa neighborhoods

You must admit that there are also several nice people moving here too ☺️

A lot of folks have been going on about the bull rally and said stocks that would be experiencing significant growth, any idea which stocks this may be? I just sold my home in the Boca Grande area and I’m looking to remunerate a lump sum into the stock market before stocks rebound, is this a good time to buy or no?

Such market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my market judgements and decisions on rumors and here-says, got the best of me 2020 and had me holding worthless position in the market, I had to revamp my entire portfolio through the aid of a broker, before I started seeing any significant results in my portfolio, been using the same Adviser and I’ve scaled up 750k within 2 years, whether a bullish or down market, both makes for good profit, it all depends on where you’re looking.

Do you mind sharing info of the adviser who assisted you?

“Sonya lee Mitchell’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a meeting.

Summerville is amazing. I'm raising my kids here right now.

So play clarinet and move. Got it. Thanks.

@@mikef2813 I do feel for her or him that made this post, kind of bad, I guess. but your comment says a lot and makes a lot of sense. bc if, specifically an adult , feels like they dont fit in, thats more of a personal maybe even interpersonal issue. its not the state, its like a paranoid thing. unless that person did something that would cause some sort of baggage that he couldnt socially play his instrument (ha!) , then theres no reason to move. ooo! and I just noticed that his last sentence reads that "to live in a place that makes you unwelcome ..etc" which clearly means there must have been a reason, an action, something that the community or "a place" as he put it made him unwelcome. instruments dont make you feel unwelcome . his or her behavior was unwelcomed

the thing about not being able to find a job bc you "had no family heritage for the job." what company didnt hire you that you think you didnt have family heritage for that specific job? im respectfully asking that is not at all rhetorical. im asking that bc Columbia SC (which you were looking for a job after graduating) is not known for old money and there are concert halls there and orchestra performing arts centers that welcome musical coaches and brass instrument players. especially recent graduates of USC. Columbia's Chamber of Commerce is FULL of business owners that own successful businesses that specialize in instrument sales and rentals. And if sales isnt really your thing, many members of the chamber can point you in the right direction. PLUS most of them are USC graduates. This information is easy to find. btw, everyone has a family heritage. unless youre a lab born baby (which is not common, but some ppl actually are born from blank cells and eggs in a lab , ) Columbia is renown for being a melting pot of all folks , from all different countries, almost maybe even more, students, even students without a college education after a USC graduation, you'd be hard pressed to run into someone you know, unless its a bar, five points *maybe.* but not someone that knows your baggage and is hiring. being a USC graduate plus in Cola as far as interviewing and looking for a career, would help you bc youre likely being interviewed by a USC alumni that talks about USC and asks things like "oh! does Professor Jones still teach over there?" K, so in a nutshell, youre lying. you dont have to have someone that knows your family to get a job interview in Cola unless its a family run business that keeps the place run by their family only, like a generational thing. you cant tell me that the Columbia Department of Transportation (just an example ) only hires people that have well known families, I mean "family heritages " Wells Fargo, Richland County Government, McDonalds. Most if not all of my dear friends knew that you cant be picky and we all knew that its very difficult to get your dream job immediately after college graduation . any job will do while actively applying for the career that you really want. dont blame SC for not getting hired by companies that aren't interested in your clarinet and saxophone talents. dont tell us a story that doesnt explain the whole truth. when you mentioned "not having a family Heritage for a "specific job" total red flag. Columbia is not a "who you know" city. and whats with the "jobs based on corporate ownership?" what does that even mean? You were able to get jobs based on you owning a corporation?! what was your major? and you did get "jobs" in Cola, according to you. So why are you saying you couldnt get a job and then say you did get jobs. waiting until 46 to move bc SC makes you feel "unwelcome " is unnerving to SC natives. If SC, particularly , our capital city is that bad, why did you continue to stay there? If 134, 100 people made you feel unwelcome, its not them, its you.

@@mikef2813 Lol.

It's funny. The DNC ran this state with an iron fist for almost two full centuries. They were the one's that got our state ,burned to the ground and shunned for most of it. The Republicans suck too {they ordered the burning} but their control (at present) is why we have clawed our way back from that. Worth noting, as well: In the last year we had two cities under curfew* and that wasn't for very long. Six fires ,six arson convictions...that's all the trouble we have had. *Charleston and Columbia.

@@sharkparty1027 Like I said. The DNC got run out of control ,so ...no. I ,will, say this: The nation would be better off had conditions following the war been such that ,when kids in other countries learn (their) history, they talk about the "mysterious rope shortage of 1866-1870". Then we wouldn't have had so much trouble with DemoKKKrats burning crosses on lawns and telling folks, for whom to vote.

@@sharkparty1027 "I'll have those [REDACTED] votin' Democrat for the next 200 years." Lyndon Banes Johnson, 36th President.

@@schrodingersgat4344 You are right. Southern Democrats were the party of slavery and the KKK. They threw the monkey wrench into civil rights after Reconstruction. MLK was a Republican. Now the Democratic Party either run the slums or create them. Permanent poverty is their power base. They’ve set race relations back 50 years. My kids are mixed. It didn’t used to be a big deal. The Democratic Party ruined my native state of California. It’s now a filthy, corrupt hellhole. That being said, I don’t think a lot of Republican politicians either. Sen. Lindsey Graham could be doing a lot more for SC than he is. We visited the area around USC and Hilton Head. Beautiful country. People were friendly. The first time I’d ever seen Spanish moss on palm trees.

@@sharkparty1027 Yes, party on with that

The progressive's are coming for you. Expect everything to downturn.

PREACH!

Change Is Good!!!

I did leave it due to crime 👍

The state is behind the rest in many ways! Why NOT change???

Isnt it kinda fucked up that she named her restaurant after her friend dying with diabetic problems?

I love Sweet Catherine's! They used to have an awesome Sunday brunch.

Hey we will have to go check them out!

Fantastic restaurant

I just moved down here from Charlotte in June of 2021 and it’s hard to adjust Its okay but I wouldn’t want to call this home.

Beautiful

Florida is hell on earth, greenville is slowly becoming the same

Sir , you deserve more than that thank you .

Good to know about the property tax for disabled vets. Thanks....

Yes, this is not the place for you, any of y’all.

Did you not pay attention in the video to the i don't know how many comments on Charlotte , talking like its in South Carolina? Clearly the narrator is a brilliant individual.

Yes, please do keep telling everyone how bad it is! ✋ Don't come here!

@@phoneixenterprises He should have said the Rock Hill region, but he's not exactly wrong. Rock Hill is considered to be a suburb of the Charlotte area.

We are full please keep moving south.

No, that was a Democratic attempt, (aka Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer) to take over an SC seat. I wish that Tim Scott was going to continue serving us, but this is sadly :( his last term.

Seems to me you don't understand that a Senator represents a state at the federal level and has zero effect on the State and Local laws. He may have influence but his office is in DC not Cola.

He’s a RINO

Although I'm not republican, I do respect him because he lost his parents @ a young age like I did & he had to raise his younger sister.

Yeah he’s much too interested in training Ukrainian Nazi’s and taking billions while SC swirls around the drain.

We South Carolinian's like to say, "Thank God for Mississippi, otherwise we'd be last in everything."

I’m pretty sure it’s like that in every TRUE southern State

@@georgemoore8577 you were right, I've never noticed them like I did down south

I lived here in Spartanburg S C..the country all my adult life, as a kid an teenager grew up in Duncan S.C..which is a small town in Spartanburg county, it's great here, alot better than huge cities..so I dont know why anyone can say bad about here, heck look where they are living, alot of people are moving here, btw we have B.M.W right here in my hometown.❤❤

SOUTH CAROLINA , WE DONT LIVE IN POVERTY..LOL, OMG..🤣😂 Alot of money made here if you are not lazy to go to work. ,depends on the person..❤❤

I grew up here this place outside of upstate this place sucks.

@@mastermason9683 Northerner tourists coming down to tour plantations, and buy Gullah baskets and art at the Charleston "slave" market... Yet Southerners are the "racists"

Sad, but true. We are moving because too many subdivisions are popping up in our area.

Did basic training @ Ft. Jackson with a guy from Charleston he said Charleston beaches are the best kept secret!

I just moved to Columbia area 2 years ago. I should have done it years ago. I love this area and this state!

@@thirtyfivediesel2034 Awesome! So glad you're here now.

@@Hope-ri6ix Whats your favorite places to visit in SC?

@@thirtyfivediesel2034 congrats and welcome!!!!

Proud to call Carolina home!

Top 10 fastest growing state in the US. Low unemployment rate. Charleston ranked number one city in the world.

Greenville seems to be leading the way

Many of us South Carlinians wish there was less crime. There's alot of jobs here for skilled workers if living a few percent above poverty is ideal. This state will always have potential. But it functions the way it does by design. Everything you both hate and love about this state is definitely by design.

@@CharlesLStokes-qp7pq same there’s a bridge to get on the road that leads to my neighborhood and there was a guy who parkied his car on the bridge and refused to move it we had to call the cops the guy apparently drunk

It's here. It's just so complex. I mean... It's alright but it could be waaayyy better.

It was extra funny because it was a SC congressman heckling the President during his speech... which happened like 4 years after the movie came out with Obama

💥

LORI *hugs*

If South Carolina is expensive to you, I'd hate for you to see the living costs here in New York City.

@@kevinnorris6558 0 desire to live in NY. Spent some time in upstate

We moved from Florida too to Charleston we are going to be leaving as soon as my son graduates

@@lindaaldridge5165 definitely!

Traffic in Taylors SC is getting real bad and food price is bad.

Good!

So true.

Thumbs up!

corvettepower- why does an image in this video say the myrtle beach area has the worst beaches?

I hate to see South Carolina go Democratic in the future. The way the Democratic Party is changing today they are leaning more towards Socialism.

all libtard cities go backwards.

@@oldman4595 that's a black woman.

@oldman both parties have their fair share of crooks.

You are clueless. You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

@Regina Johnson So why are you even still there???

Sounds like the schools on the I-95 corridor.

Strange comment. I went to Dillon Elementary School and finished my education with 2 undergraduate degrees and 2 graduate degrees. I have a very comfortable six figure income. The schools there did me not harm at all.

I live in Darlington but originally from Hartsville. My cousin's second daughter's mom got killed by her boyfriend on 11/22/22 in her house in Tara Village.

@@daradiant1 I'm sorry to hear that. I've lost a couple of friends there, and my Grandmother that has lived there since 1972, just passed away this week. I will keep you and your family in my Prayers.

I like nascar though!

I lived in Darlington but I am from Hartsville.

I lived on Blue Street in Darlington for several years. Had my first child in Florence.

Ya know Bruce Springsteen's song Darlington County (from Born in the USA) was written about the town?!

I'm from South Carolina and have been to Austria with my family! Back in 1996! Had a blast! Of course I was on and in a really nice tour bus and group but it seemed good just the same! Why would you want to come here? I don't think it is entirely accurate in this video but I guess I come from a family with enough money that we are for the most part oblivious to these rural areas in some ways. I'm more worried like hell about the earthquakes we are starting to have! 😶

Sure is!

@@NickJohnson It is an hour drive to Spartanburg for us & they have some great areas like Lake Bowen & were the Marshall Tucker Band was born..

Because the bulk of the taxes goes to pay teachers & administration! Unionized schools in NJ , no teacher's unions in the south!

@@jgrysiak6566Bullshit, OP picked out the lowest income counties in NJ. We have among the best schools in the country, a highly educated and high income population. Maybe if you paid teachers more your schools wouldn’t be garbage.

l have traveled to 31 States and South Carolina has nothing to envy any of them where it comes to beauty, variety and climate, especially in the upstate. We have the lakes, beaches, southern plains and mountains. The people are generally very friendly and the State has MANY clean and picturesque little towns as well as prosperous growing metro areas.

Quick question for you- I live in Wisconsin and have been thinking about moving to South Carolina for a long time. I go there every year but am limited to the Conway/Myrtle Beach area. I’m looking for suggestions. I don’t have crap for money so I need somewhere cheaper. I hate big cities and traffic and would prefer a town of maybe 12,000 or less. I love the ocean and country living. Have some horses. Any ideas?
