I can’t speak on behalf of Nevadapinball, but have experience on both sides of being a native with people moving in and moving to states as an outsider.

Some outsiders feel the need to ‘improve our lives’ with their point of view. They want their new location to reflect their old location politically, socially, and environmentally. Locals want to keep it how it was when they grew up. Examples can be found in Sheridan WY, Boise ID, Hamilton MT, etc.

Some new citizens, which I have been on numerous occasions, can often forget why they moved.

I welcome the diversity of people of all backgrounds (ethnicity, race, local, etc.). 'The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.'

I do find it comical that people move to an area and then complain that it isn't just like where they came from. You can't expect others to change their attitudes to satisfy your wants/needs. I think the point is to educate yourself on where you are going to make sure that you'll be happy with your decision to move.

There was an extremely wealthy woman who moved from the east coast to my hometown. She purchased an historic restaurant/bar and decided to change the menu. She publicly stated she was going to educate the locals there was more to food than 'meat and potatoes'. Her menu lasted less than a month, as few wanted to eat what she served. She learned that running a successful restaurant relied on satisfying your clientele. (This isn't a knock on the east coast, where I've lived for an extended period of time.)
