Everything has felt off since 2020 /Covid.
I used to live in a town of 30,000 people and half of those numbers where snow birds who only stayed half the year so realistically the town population was around 20,000 for about 15 years.
Then out of no where in 2019-2020 after covid people thought moving down south was safer than living up north.
My towns population went from 30,000 to 100,000 in 2 short years. The value of our property is super inflated , roads are packed from 5 am until 9 pm daily, no sense of community in my neighborhood.
Literally nothing but tearing down trees to build parking lots and shopping plazas. Everyone is mean , most locals can’t afford to live here and have had to move out of state.
A daily driving commune entails being ran off the road or being driven around illegally, if you aren’t doing 15-50mph over the speed limit your wrong.
Trying to navigate through the supermarkets since the growth in population is almost impossible. I do all my shopping exclusively on grocery delivery platforms because the amount of stupid brainless people I have to encounter just drains my energy. So many people , yet they all lack common sense , awareness and empathy.
I can understand NY or California’s environment but out here down south it WAS so peaceful and now I feel as if I’m in a 24/7 rat race regardless of if I have a day off or not.
Truly saddening feeling to know there’s no real point in this life besides being a hamster on a wheel, collectively as a society it’s only going to get worse.
In summary our population here I live has grown immensely, which has caused more growth and development than this area needs or can handle. Quality of life for middle class workers has deteriorated so drastically that middle class is the new lower middle class and dropping fast.
Conspiracy: Cov19 was designed to reduce population, destabilized society, allow investors to take advantage of the housing market, produce endless urban sprawl and rise inflation to permanently crippling levels of no return. Further destabilizing the economy, further dividing the rich from the poor.
