Outside of the university and low income city areas, metro Syracuse doesn't really have a transplant situation going on.
I see the same faces, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
It may depend where you are, as the other colleges in the area bring some people in from outside of the area. I did meet a lady that came to the area from Atlanta to work at a healthcare facility. She is originally from Bellingham WA and likes the area. With that said, I wouldn't say that the area is a transplant hotbed. Steady growth is fine by me.
People are constantly coming and going where I live due to the military. So it's just a mashup of all different people from all different parts of the country and world. It's rare to find someone who was born and raised here like me!
Chicago is a global stew, a tremendous mix of people from everywhere. A mere half century back, Chicago swung on a polar axis of white and black, rigid lines of segregation. Thank goodness that old polar structure is long gone with the influx of hispanic and Asian populations. City and suburbs have so much diversity.
Not you personally, but the ones getting "upset" about TJ's stores popping up in "their" area. It struck me as funny. I like Texans, on the whole. Knew some people from Texas in Phoenix. They were friendlier than most of the Californians.
