deibu is on a distinguished road
As far as the weather, you can definitely get used to it. It's hard for me to take the colder weather in the months I've spent in the Northeast (but not really VT!), but I find I pretty easily adjust, and most people who have come here adjust to the climate change a little bit. Also, SC is humid instead of dry, like AZ, so at 95-100 degrees, there's that feeling of watery-haze in the air, where you walk a block and you're soaking wet...

The growth - I hear you on that. Some places in SC are catching up on that, but outside of the urban areas and some small towns, there's very much a bulldoze-it-for-big-business attitude... Some small towns are really sad cores of what they used to be with nothing but check-cashing places and dollar stores on the outskirts, and a new Wal-Mart is a big event for them. It's really sad and I think the landscape of this state is being ruined because some people believe it's wrong to restrict the "free market" even when it's taking advantage of our own citizens.
