I moved to Greenville after 20 odd years in Buffalo NY. I'd never move back...

Why ?

@scottkutylowski327 Ай бұрын

Move to Columbia a year ago, hate it, gun crimes run rampant in store parking lots, litter everywhere, people here are just so piggy. I’d like to move but already can’t sell my house for what I paid for it.

Here is my take. Unless you're absolutely certain about a multi- state move to a different region, make absolutely certain it aligns with your objectives and preferences. So, this also means being economically mobile with a profession and transferable skill sets. Moving far away from one's home territory and getting economically trapped is a recipe for a miserable existence.

I live in Florida, so the heat, hurricanes, traffic, crazy drivers, etc. is worse here and the heat is not an issue. The biggest weather issue for me would be snow. Does southern SC ever get snow? What areas of southern SC are good to move to without the big city vibe, crime, etc? I'm an RN, so I was also wondering what nursing pay is like, so if there are any RN's reading this, please reply. Where I live in FL, my property taxes aren't high, but insurance, especially car insurance, is ridiculous. The cost of living in general is getting unaffordable now and I don't understand why so many people are moving here; okay, we have a great Governor now. If anyone moved to SC from FL, please reach out as well and tell me if there's a big difference. Don't worry locals, I am a Republican.

@@iluvutube4886 The upstate of SC sees more snow that us here in the midlands. It’s rare for us to get snow. Maybe once for a few hours every few years.

Also strongly considering moving to SC from Florida. If I can line up a relatively good paying job in Greenville my family and I are out of this place (central Florida). The “heat” up there would be a cakewalk compared to here and having 4 seasons again seems lovely.

Hi, we moved from NY to Florida, after a year we moved to McCormick SC and love it. It’s a very small quiet town with friendly people. We don’t get snow, but it does get hot, just not as hot as Florida, we have no trouble with the heat. Hospitals are in Greenwood (not Greenville) and Abbeville, both are about 25 minutes away. Best wishes

I’m an RN in Columbia. Pay is $32/hr starting for new grads, days, obviously if you have experience it will be more but I don’t know how much more yet. Cost of living used to be great but obviously since Covid that has changed- loads of Northeasterners moved here and also surprisingly a lot of new ppl are from CA- so real estate went to the moon and wages did not keep up. Otherwise Greenville is mountainous with slightly cooler temps, Columbia is a sweatbowl (seems like it’s 100 degrees all summer), and Charleston is Charleston. I like savannah way better. You gotta stay above I-20 to avoid the gators, basically.

Moved from S. Florida to Greer, SC 2 years ago. If you are from a very red location in Florida, are deeply religious, and are not inclusive of people that are different from you, you would probably be happy here. You made a comment speaking highly of DeSantis which makes me think that this applies to you. If DeSantis scares you and you don’t went to spend your free time disparaging people that are different than you, don’t move here. If it were not for my boyfriend, I would relocate out of SC asap.

Strongly considering a move from Orlando to Greenville. Originally from Chicago, after a decade here in Florida I’m tired of the constant heat. At first it was a nice change coming from a place that gets arctic winters, but the summers and humid season here just never ends. Greenville seems like a paradise with all the state parks within an hour drive in the foothills of the mountains. I’ve traveled almost every part of this country driving and spent almost a year out west in Arizona…. No place is perfect but the main motivation for me is weather and upstate SC seems to be in a “sweet spot”…. Not toooo hot, not tooo cold…. SC heat is a cakewalk compared to Florida heat, and 5 of my years here were in SW Florida…. Brutal heat.

Pretty high crime rates that just keep going up. Also, terrible drivers. I hate living here, would move if I could afford it. She’s 1,000% right about the stagnant humid, non moving air. If you’re looking for better weather, I honestly don’t think you’re going to enjoy SC year round. Unless you like running your AC most Decembers 🤷‍♀️

@@AaWa-dp4oq terrible drivers are everywhere. High crime rates here in Orlando. Sure it may be a little humid and warm in July and August but coming from Florida it will feel like a big relief…. Come live down here for a decade and let’s talk about humidity 😂😂

@@Sprout-gh3zv there may be terrible drivers everywhere, but SC is one of the top states for bad drivers. I have a friend who moved here from CA and wondered why her car insurance went up. It was strictly because they moved to SC. From CA. And I never said the humidity here was worse than Florida. I wouldn’t want to live in FL either. But it’s miserably hot in SC in the summer and there is no real winter here. No real fall either. Spring is fairly decent. But no true 4 seasons. I hate hot weather. All of the south is miserably hot. It’s not a contest. And it’s not “a little warm”. It’s awful. Don’t say we didn’t warn you if you move here. 😂

@@Sprout-gh3zv compared to most of the country though there aren’t four seasons. It’s going to be hot here until Christmas. We might be able to turn off the AC in January. February was unusually warm (and in the upper 80s some days in February) this year. That’s usually our coldest month. But come on up if you don’t want much a change in heat, crime, and bad drivers. 🤣

I’ve always told my husband SC is my #1 spot to relocate from NY. But the pollen season is a good thing to know! I find that the worst month in NY is May, is it the same there or is pollen season longer?

By May, our pollen season is mostly mild. Our worst months are end of March and April.

SC is my home state. Lots of rain especially in summer. Humidity wrecks havoc on asthma. Heavy in mosquitos, flys, and alligators. Sandy soil tears up roads creating potholes. I will never move. It's home.

I’m from S. Florida so I actually don’t find the traffic to be bad at all. Also, in comparison the homeless population is nothing here in SC. I haven’t encountered “rude” people. People are disingenuously polite . I guess it’s the southern charm. It wasn’t until I went on FB and joined some local groups that I discovered how much hate exists due all of the churches and religious dogma. I’m also tired of the locals complaining about the transplants, gays, and immigrants. 🙄
