Despite some of the commentary, people are not hostile or unfriendly; just wary.

People move here for many reasons. The climate, the company of people in like circumstances, the golf, the reasonable standard of living, whatever. But one of the primary reasons is/was to escape what all too many major cities on the East Coast, central industrial states and the West Coast have become. The wariness comes from the fear that the mindset that created the mess will be imported here.
