I see a similar thing in Flagstaff.
Lots of people from the PRK, both short-timers and vacationers. They drive
like sh*t, are generally dismissive to locals, and have no respect for the
area or city.
Case in point:
When they come up (and this applies to Phoenicians, except for AZ Bob, of
course) to ski at the Snowbowl or engage in “snow sports”.
There are numerous venues for this in the area. But what many of them do
is park on the side of state highways where there are steep slopes (and no
shoulder) and do their sledding there.
When they leave, it looks like a bomb went off. Trash, damaged sleds and
other snow sports gear, discarded clothing, you name it. The County has to
do extra roadside trash runs during this time of year because it’s so bad.
I don’t mind them coming here, but they should respect our home.

I was visiting some friends last night at Pawleys Island and some other
friends from Beaufort down the coast a ways were there. Interestingly most
of these folks tend toward the bluer end of the spectrum but also have some
sense. We got talking about the growth in our respective areas, and it
seems that most of it is due to yankee carpetbagger infestations who leave
their expensive sh**holes up north and come here with their bad ideas and
habits. It has gotten really bad around me, I go to the store down the
road and half of the plates are from up north and the people drive and act
like total @$$h01e$. A lot of them moved here during the covids and just
stayed. One guy from Beaufort asked "but why here, it's not like the
places they came from" and I told him because it is kinda the last stop
before Florida, and most of them can't stand the idea of living in a known
white trash state (even though SC is pretty white trash in a lot of areas)
so they settle here. Plus it is relatively cheap and warm to be doing
outside stuff most of the year. He agreed with that. I also pointed out
that SC was a good day's drive from Ohio, 10-12hr whereas Florida would
require an overnighter then another day of driving. Hence gobacktoohio.com
Most of them have no interest in learning the history, culture, people,
land, or environment, they like to live in their gated artificial
communities and play tennis and golf and bitch about the locals. And try
to do their developments and mess up what is already there.

Subject: [MBZ] What is it with idiots?
Pull into gas station, all 4 diesel pumps are occupied so I pull in
behind a fiat 500 with nobody in sight. Finally she shows up out of the
store after doing her shopping and stares at me pointing to all the other
empty gas pumps. She then proceeds to pump. You mean she has not even start
yet. After she finished she once again gives me the stink eye and points to
the other pumps. I roll the window down and inform her she is occupying the
diesel pump lane. She had Texas plates but appeared to be from California,
or so she behaved.
