Funny how people choose where to move to. My hometown was poor and isolated. No jobs. That is why I left. A few articles in national magazines came out and said it was one of the best places in the nation to like and people poured in (largely due to housing costs and natural beauty). Now some call it "Little San Fran" as home prices have risen astronomically and there is a shortage. Locals are leaving so that they can find work elsewhere as the only jobs will no longer support them. Drugs, crime and gangs have come there...taxes have increased dramatically. Sometimes these small towns are better off not being "discovered"
