Having worked in public safety for a long time prior to now, I can speak to this.
There is a LOT of animosity towards Tellico Villagers, Rarity Bay-ers, and the rest. It stems from a culture clash. A percentage of what are referred as half-backers (Snowbirds that went to Florida, said screw this, and moved halfway back to Jersey landing here) bring strong Northerner values and behavior with them, and it rubs the rednecks wrong.
Simple as that.
For instance, a group tried to get Kingston renamed a few years ago to the Villages of something something. That did NOT go over, nor have other attempts to get Southern culture adjusted to more Northern-like in nature.
Kind of, welcome to Tennessee, learn to be one of us instead of "we're here to rescue you from yourselves."
