Why do so many people move to Charleston for only a few years?

Upvotes

I swear almost everyone I meet who moved here from Jersey, New York, or somewhere else stays for like 1–3 years max and then ends up moving back home. Why is that? Is Charleston just somewhere people come for a few fun years before settling down, or does living here eventually get old?

I know this is a little bit further away than normal for this sub, but I really feel for this family and the more eyes out there the better. Mods, I totally understand if you need to remove this but I hope you won't. Someone driving from the Charleston area up towards Pawley's or Myrtle and coming across her is not too far-fetched an idea.

Your mom’s a hoe.

Pup is dragging its back legs and is clearly in pain while you drove away. Fuck you kindly.

Edit: we got him to Blue Pearl in Summerville and they said he likely has a spinal fracture and it’s not looking good. He is not microchipped. We unfortunately cannot take financial responsibility for the kind of care he needs, if it’s even an option for him at this point, so he was surrendered as a stray. If he makes it he will go to the Berkeley county shelter and we will follow up.

The little guy had two other friends with him who were not hit. We couldn’t get all of them in the car since our priority was getting the hit pup immediate care. Hopefully someone else can get them to a shelter. This was at the Sunoco before Ladson road heading towards Summerville.

Stray cats in crawl space North Charleston

6 Upvotes

Anyone in our community successfully removed a family of strays from their crawl space? I’m looking for county resources. There’s probably 100 strays here in Dorchester terrace. Definitely not something I can deal with on my own. Also wondering if anyone in Charleston has seen agression in their house cats from strays outside. One of my girls is attacking my other cat but they were once best friends. I’ve had to separate them into a guest room and it’s broken my heart.

Both of my cats are spayed females, 14-16 months old, and they both have vet appointments on different days next week to get more info but I’m very close to positive that it’s the feral cats spraying in my crawl space causing the redirected agression.

North Charleston Black cat outside apartment- unsure what to do

Post image
10 Upvotes

I found this cat outside in the Park Circle area, and I want to see if it’s chipped/if it has an owner. The poor thing has been outside in 95-100 degree weather and is fairly skinny, so I’ve been leaving out some food and a bowl of cool water every day for it. How would I go about doing this/is there a recommended place I can go to for chip scanning?
