Finishing a job for a fellow from Iowa.?ÿ Accepted a new job yesterday for a fellow who just arrived from Colorado.?ÿ A call last evening is for a lady moving here from Georgia.?ÿ One call this morning was from a fellow who couldn't remember his own phone number because he had just moved here from Texas.?ÿ The second call this morning was from Chualar, California.
This is totally abnormal.
I'm guessing you're referring to the immigration toward your location.
I just got in from a job that is running an aerial primary to a large cannabis grow. The owner's name is Xin Xing.?ÿ I probably do 2 a week like this where there's not a soul on site that speaks anything but Mandarin.?ÿ And every car is tagged in either Utah, Nevada or California.
I guess the prairie is experiencing a wave of "internationalism".?ÿ I hope they feel welcome.?ÿ I also hope they learn how to drive and learn some English.
Ni hao ma!

Three things. One is that real estate is getting absurdly expensive in many of the places you mention.?ÿ Two is that people are finding out that they can work from anywhere with a decent internet connection.
Three is the political/civil unrest situation. Out of respect for the P&R ban I'll leave it at that.?ÿ ?ÿ
I suspect that many of these people are coming from Hong-Kong, and not mainland China. As such, there is a good chance that they speak better English than you do. They just don't want you to know that.?ÿ?ÿ

After hollering "Hey fatso, do you think you could tie up that damned dog 'til I leave?" all the guy did was bow at me and toddle up to me smiling.?ÿ He then pulled out his cell phone and jibbered at me while he pointed at it.
I've also said a lot of other things to them in English that should have initiated a response...If they do indeed speak English they're a lot better at hiding it than the hombres I run into on the concrete crew. If you're right I'm in deep trouble.....?ÿ
Remote work has many people wondering why they live in drama filled metro areas.
Most of the phone calls I get have a cell phone origin from another state, yet they now live here. Illinois, Maryland and Texas seem to top the list.
It 's most likely that these non-English-speaking foreigners are actually au fait with a lingua franca, and your ice-breaker may well be something like: "Est? su casa en Tasmania?"
Used to have a TV channel that played a lot of Italian cop/detective shows.?ÿ Enjoyed them very much.?ÿ Started to pick up on quite a few words that were similar to words I learned in a French class nearly 40 years ago.

This will probably get me banned but I HAVE to add what a friend said about SOME drivers.?ÿ They got a ticket for "DWA".?ÿ That's Driving While Asian.?ÿ I KNOW, I KNOW, I'm making a LARGE generalization, but it was funny.

I have a builder client who tells me that every buyer in the past year has been from NY.
One of the biggest drivers of people moving into this area last year was sports and education. The local high schools and grade schools were fully opened and there was no restrictions on the sports teams. People with families, particularly with high school age students moved here so their children could continue to participate in athletics and go to school in the building. That has been a huge draw.?ÿ
Some of the ones calling me have made their money in high income areas then are coming home for their retirement years where they can stretch those funds much further.
