    Yes I have experienced the exact same. I was questioned by “locals” when I moved villages. They wanted to know if I was doing enough for the community and keeping up with local events. My man I was born less than 10kms away.

    I guess they just prefer inbreeding and keeping the village to themselves. Not realizing without all the new construction and new people the village would have died out 20 years ago.

      OK, this is not unique to old established places, as out here in settler land, where dispossession of the original folk was only a generation or three ago, if you move into an insular village or island, you don’t get to be a local for about 20 years. Maybe, if you satisfy the right cliques.
