Investing in Michigan

[LesBaer45]

[quote=briansd1]For those looking for a cheap area to invest in, you might like to check out Clemson/Greenville, SC (the corridor between Atlanta and Charlotte).

I hear that some chip design and high-tech businesses are setting up shop there. The area provides warm climate, low-cost of living, “wholesome” lifestyle, and cheap houses

As a place to raise a family in a “wholesome” environment, it’s not bad.[/quote]

Please no, don’t.

We’re overrun already. Give the south a chance to catch up with all the invaders that are already here complaining about the way we do things. The “culture” has already been destroyed enough as it is, this area is now just as homogenized and bland as Everywhere USA.

Pick on some other region for a while as the “next big thing”, we’re a bit worn out from it all.

Look over there! I see Wyoming and Montana just standing there doing nothing. And isn’t North Dakota one of the states with the lowest un-employment numbers? Everyone move quick!

[quote=LesBaer45][quote=njtosd]According to the South Carolina tobacco board, tobacco farming still is alive and well in the northeast, but doesn’t seem to be as common in the northwest (Greenville) area. This is an important difference, as nicotine is very volatile – if you stand in a tobacco field and breath it in, you can get a significant dose of nicotine. Not something I’d want next door . . .[/quote]

I swear I couldn’t stop laughing for 20 minutes.

. . . .

Don’t worry, it won’t run out of the field and force you to smoke it or bite you in your ass.

Umm. . . . what are you laughing about? Nicotine is well know to be very volatile – my husband used to work for a company that made nicotine patches and the vials of nicotine that were used for the patches was treated with the same laboratory procedures as radioactive substances. Furthermore, I knew someone who grew up on a tobacco farm and he couldn’t get away from it fast enough – he said the smell made him sick. I think you’re over reacting a little . . .

Small world isn’t it? I work for a company that makes both nicotine patches and pills to assist with kicking the habit. We also have quite a bit of ‘radioactive substances’ and other nasty bits in our labs as well. They aren’t exactly treated the same, but I get your point.

I know someone very, very well who worked on a tobacco farm from the tender young age of 10 as well. The smell never made this person sick but the juice all over you on a 90+ day with all the humidity and sweat would make you feel a bit sick. Sick of working for “the man” for sure. 😉

Back on topic……..Most of the Michigan refugees here don’t exactly wax eloquent about their former home. Sure they miss certain elements but as has already been pointed out here, most just got to the point they couldn’t or didn’t want to put up with the winters.

There’s a certain sadness that parts of our country are simply being abandoned due to economic and educational conditions. We can’t all cram into “popular place de jour”. This won’t end well.
