If you've ever dealt with big city traffic and crime, the lack of large urban areas in the southeast coastal plain might be considered a plus. Hurricane's aside, it's a beautiful place to live.
@@ThatDamnDoughboy Lack of good paying jobs. It's a rural area with lots of farming but not a lot of good paying jobs in the small cities and town. Popular retirement location for folks who don't want to deal with the mess that is Florida.
I live in Conway SC, about 28 Miles from the coast, and Myrtle Beach, I have been here for 8 years. Have enjoyed it very much. I have only had to leave the area twice from Hurricanes. One ran up the coast. and one hit right into Myrtle Beach. I had never been in one on shore. Been through many while in the Navy but was always at sea, fun ride. I went inland for about 60 miles on the one that ran the coastline, and down to Charleston, on the one that hit Myrtle Beach. Only gone for 3 days on each. Had a few that were a couple hundred miles off the coastline. Just rain and a bit of rain. Just a few trees down, One thing I like is less people. I came back here from Denver CO. To many people. One thing I like is the, NO SNOW! in 8 yrs we have had about a 1/2 inch. Not like Denver's 2,3 and 4 feet of snow. I worked ramp for United Airlines there and spent 23 yrs in the cold and snow. One thing I like about it is all the history. It's great here. A salt marsh is a area near shore, where saltwater mixes with into fresh, not a swamp.
The areas that are not heavily populated are known as the "low" country. They are at or below sea level and are prone to flooding. There is no damn mystery about why.
Michigan we get ships and we send ship to other countries but the winter can be ruff so we get ice and shipping slows down. So ships in Michigan will dock in Florida in Michigan and use trucks to head north in the winter. To bring back the load to Florida. I-75
Courtney, one of many things which is interesting about this part of the country is that there's a group of people who used to be slaves, but somehow kept their speech, which has become a recognized language, rather than a Creole language, and there's a 12,000 sq. mi./20,780 sq. km. Cultural Heritage Corridor which has been set aside by the US National Park Service.
My Hometown is Wilmington, NC. It is also called the Port City. Wilmington, NC. is the Hometown of Michael Jordan, Sonny Jurgenson, Roman Gabriel, Kenny Gattison. Clyde Simmons and Trot Nixon. Those are just some of the great Athletes who played professional Sports. It is also the Home of the North Carolina Azalea Festival. It is also the Home of The USS North Carolina a WW II Battleship that was highly decorated,
As was mentioned Atlanta was a RR hub and most of the Southern RR hubs ran trains of aggie goods west toward the ports on the Mississippi. They seldom sent goods to the Atlantic coast ports. Reason being European trade left out of New Orleans, while Chicago, New York, and Canada trade went north on the Mississippi, Great Lakes, Erie Canal, and St. Lawrence. Limited trade headed east to the ports and cities stayed small. Southern rail was never commuter heavy until Flagler and Amtrak. Another thing was rich people owned the available cosstal lands and newbies bought what came available as the natives were kicked off the land because their debts to English traders were so high. Oddly, slavery in America began with natives capturing natives in trade for English goods and weapons. as capturing natives became harder due to death from disease the debts mounted because natives didn't understand about Old World trade or credit. Only commodity they had left worth value to English was the land they lived on. so...as they moved out cheap land became available and the states' interiors grew faster than the coasts.
I live in the North Michigan and there is one road from Michigan to Florida I75 been to Florida many times but Love Michigan and like to go to Florida on Vacation in the winter.
What is even more fascinating about Atlanta is that it was basically destroyed entirely in 1865 during the American Civil War (se General Sherman's march through Atlanta). All the growth has happened since Reconstruction.
There maybe another reason for these areas to be quite small. The North Atlantic Gyre and Sargasso Sea which was not nice in days of sails because of calm winds. The Sargasso Sea and NAG lie within the Bermuda Triangle.
Well I live in North Carolina in that red shaded area my whole life and unfortunately people are flooded here and I'm just wanting to move to the middle of nowhere now.
I've vacationed there several times (on the coast), and visited Columbia many times. Outside the cities there's a lack of jobs. The land is not uniformly great. Driving away from Myrtle Beach, inland, on back roads, one sees a lot of mobile homes on a few acres, mostly rundown. Racism and racial tensions are very alive. The weather sucks.
Tbh, this should've been titled The "Relatively" Empty East Coast. 10 million people is still quite a lot, even if it's not at big as the other areas he mentioned.
When I was a kid a joke I heard about the Atlanta airport was: "When you die, whether you're going to Heaven or Hell, you've still got to change planes in Atlanta".
I live in Florida, thinking of leaving and wouldn't move to this area for two reasons. One is hurricanes. It's right whre they hit. Two the culture, they're sort of stuck in time and there is still a lot of racism and religiosity there.

Then why don't more people live there?

I live on the east coast of N.C. we have 2 shipping ports one in Morehead city and one in Wilmington

Savannah and Charleston ports are constantly expanding. Savannah is the 4th busiest and Charleston is the 9th busiest port in the U. S.

I live in western North Carolina and travel to this area often. It is very pretty.
I lived in Columbia, S.C. for 30 years and never once felt like I was missing out because I didn't live in a southern metropolis.

Mangroves and swamps. Not habitable areas
grunts in the sky a really good documentary about the A-10
I call it the wild wild south east 😂 being from NC
I love how Courtney manages to act interested in this kind of stuff.
I love living here.
I saw your arby's video I had no idea you all had arby's in new zealand

One word, SWAMPS. (edit to add) the bots are out tonight sheesh.
I live close to that area
Without reading a comment and before I watch this, my guess is that is ground zero for hurricane season.

As someone in the east coast, we have plenty of people lol. Truly a bountiful place to live...
prime reason is the Carolinas are perfect Hurricane weather
You need to also acknowledge that Northern shipping is who brought the slaves here, then sold them to the southerners.
Those braids though!!! ❤❤😮
I just love young women that love to learn about things in general, all things. And you're very pretty too if I were only about 30 years younger
Now look at a map of US Naval bases.
If you believe east coast of SC is barren and unpopulated, just take a look at my Charleston SC or Myrtle Beach videos....
Hurricanes, humidity & crazy heat. No thanks 😉
Its geography
Hurricanes. All the risks of Florida but without the benefits.
Ilove video beautiful is the Best for you reaction yees beautiful ilove you mat from Indonesia
Hi
I live in Florida, thinking of leaving and wouldn't move to this area for two reasons. One is hurricanes. It's right whre they hit. Two the culture, they're sort of stuck in time and there is still a lot of racism and religiosity there.
Florida North of Orlando minus the college towns is exactly the same.
Its an easy answer.
Because it sucks.
