| 18. Same thing is happening here in Bay County. |

In 1997, the average home price was $90k. Now it's been driven up to $230k by "snowbirds" fleeing the cold weather and the "developers" who cater to them by putting up condos everywhere they can find a bit of space with a view. And in my experience those snowbirds are not granola liberals, as so many here would like to think. Even after the northern influx that so many people at DU think will be our salvation, this county went for Bush by more than 2-1.
And let's not forget that the Atlanta suburbs that sent Newt Gingrich and Bob Barr to Congress were full of Yankee transplants.
