Charleston's Mayor, Joe Riley, being verbally crucified by rabid right wingers

1. I'm here.....reluctantly.

Originally from Georgia, but have lived up and down the East Coast. Married a lovely woman from Mt. Pleasant and decided to settle here.

The Krazy is strong in South Carolina. I would move in an instant, but financial constraints and my wife's family obligations prohibit it. I would consider Asheville, but I understand that even that formerly quasi-progressive bastion is succumbing to the Krazy. In fact, I'm not sure exactly where in the US in NOT becoming infected.

Mayor Riley did wonderful things for Charleston. Lately, though, his bid to make Charleston the must-see destination for the world's tourists - along with below-average prices for super-luxurious historic and new homes - has put tremendous pressure on the existing ecosystem and infrastructure. I don't mean this to disparage Uncle Joe. His legacy will outlive him, but infectious Krazy continues to erode his many accomplishments.

I am not optimistic......
