Every beautiful place's residents seem to have a resentment toward people who buy second homes in the area, IMO. Especially if they buy in order to rent out. They think it drives the housing prices up. They think people come into the area seasonally and don't necessarily "put in" to the area to make it better.
People in FL resent renters from the north. I have personal knowledge of people in northern MI resenting second home owners from Chicago and Detroit and people on the Maine coast resenting people from Massachusetts.
I'm not surprised that people in the hills of GA and TN resent people from FL.
