All I said was that families don’t generally move to Charleston looking for a conservative Christian lifestyle, and I stand by that. It doesn’t mean that I believe Charleston is especially liberal. It just means that I believe those specifically claiming or citing conservative Christian values aren’t the demographic that’s mostly moving here. I have actually seen Greenville spokespeople in articles promoting its conservative family values as a reason it’s growing and as a reason to move there.
The Republican mayor thing is because Cogswell comes across as moderate, as he has repeatedly called himself, throughout his mayoral campaign included, even though Charleston’s mayoral elections are nonpartisan.
Also, there was the perception of too many Charleston voters that the prior mayor wasn’t doing enough when actually he was performing quite well. It’s hard to follow in Joe Riley’s footsteps because of the public’s perception that he was all that, rightly or wrongly.

Nah. There is a mixture moving to Greenville. I didn't read that, I live that from a business and personal perspective.

I didn’t say there wasn’t a mixture moving to Greenville. But it’s no secret that the SC Upstate is a conservative Republican stronghold. BTW, the mayoral race was very close, and Cogswell won by fewer votes than the number of voters who live in the Berkeley County part of the city.
Funny. I have never, ever (okay, like once) seen anyone ask about churches on Nextdoor, nor invitations to one. And I’m on there many times every day. But I live west of the Cooper and don’t see much from Mount Pleasant, if anything, because it’s outside my greater neighborhood.
There’s debate and a big unanswered question about why Charleston is called the Holy City. Some historians have said it’s because of the city’s history of being a welcoming haven for all religions in its early history. But it certainly wasn’t nicknamed that because of conservative evangelical Christian values that are driving people to move to places where they’ll fit in best (hint: not in Charleston). Maybe Mount Pleasant.
We would be moving for work, have the option to stay in Idaho or move to SC. Lifestyle change is another factor. Our goal is to eventually live on a few acres within 30 or so minutes of a city.
If you would like to live on a few acres outside a city, either Idaho or South Carolina would work.
Greenville is definitely conservative. I've driven there a few times within the last few years. Always see a Confederate flag or two.

Are you factoring in price per acre? I would be shocked to discover land outside Greenville or even Charleston is comparably expensive to land outside of Boise or even Pocatello.

Not OP but this is probably referring to rapid population expansion exceeding the capacity of infrustructure to adapt. My daily commute is trivial so this is not a significant concern for me.
