States in the South are experiencing an anti-growth backlash following a significant population increase. Since the pandemic, 2.7 million people, predominantly Whites, have migrated to the region through turbocharged migration. This surge in population has led to a pro-NIMBY sentiment, with residents expressing dissatisfaction with the rapid changes, with some stating, 'I live in hell.'

2.7 million people (undoubtably mostly Whites) migrated to the American South since the pandemic. This is the great balkanization of America in motion. Inevitable. https://t.co/8reSd525BR
