To answer your question honestly, nothing is wrong with the PEOPLE from out of state.

BUT

When someone from out of state comes into the State of Alabama and leases hunting land that's one less piece of land for an Alabama resident. That doesn't mean there wasn't an Alabama resident willing to lease it, it just means that an out of state-r priced the land out of reach of the local. Now that's not illegal but sometimes it's not a fair fight. For instance..... you got a resident of New Orleans.... high cost of living, really high salaries can drive to Alabama in just a few hours and lease property around Selma for $20/acre happily. Well that $20/acre is too high for the folks that live in and around Selma. Even if they all join up and make a club it's extreme. So I hope that clears it up, we don't necessarily have anything against the PEOPLE, just the PROCESS because its taking our land from us. And for further clarification, it is our land, we're the residents, we pay the taxes, we vote for the representatives, we pay for the roads.
