The Post and Courier’s editorial staff wants growth for growth’s sake to end in South Carolina, encouraging growth only where it’s needed for jobs, and ending corporate tax breaks.
Growth for growth's sake would be a bad idea indeed.
But growth for the sake of building housing for people who need houses is a great idea. Particularly when lots of other locations in the country refuse to do so.
The P&C’s premise is that the state legislature should stop giving tax breaks for companies to create more jobs in areas with already low unemployment rates, places the P&C deems too congested. I say go after the state legislature to make them get on the side of local leaders who are trying to reign in sprawl for better designed communities. Developers have had state-level politicians scratching their backs for too long, developing mostly communities that contribute to sprawl and worse traffic.
From The State Newspaper - four South Carolina cities, Charleston and North Charleston combined and Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach combined, are on U-HAUL’s list of “most moved to” places in 2023 according to net moves based on the tracking of their moving equipment, at #3 and #10 respectively.
More of this. Less of the typical sprawling southern metro suburban development pattern.
“LANDRUM — The new Claiborne development, within walking distance of downtown Landrum, is scheduled to be complete by 2026.
“It’s the first subdivision being built in the city in 20 years. Like most areas in Spartanburg County, the city is experiencing growth, so the need for new affordable housing is on the rise.”
Beautiful downtown Landrum! I have never been there but through the power of googlemaps I just recently just got back from a trip. Its good to see that they nave a nice downtown and this development will likely make it even better.

I'm fairly sure Census estimates are based off stuff like this until we get the full Census in 2030
I doubt it. A lot of these are fluff pieces. The areas that added the most people on the last estimate was Horry followed by Greenville. You may be surprised.
Maybe the coast and Upstate have traded primary roles.
Maybe the coast is where transplants now come to work to fill all those jobs the National Bureau of Labor Statistics and the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce say have been added to Charleston-North Charleston’s employment numbers over the last year, and maybe the Upstate is the new affordable retirement haven.
