Covid and its impact on Housing by Star Brantley
4/29/2021
Covid 19. The unprecedented, unrelenting, triggering word and experience we have been living with for the last year has made and continues to impact the way we order our lives. As we continue to make unforeseen adjustments (using my own personal example today), we undoubtedly still find ways to manage and navigate through this oh-so uncharted territory. Vaccines are slowly making their rounds to neighborhoods; the CDC has made mention of relaxing mask guidelines for fully vaccinated people, vacation cruises are opening up, and slowly but surely, we seek to have some solace, reminiscent to the days before January 2020, the “normal” days as we embrace our new “normal” and take an inside look through the lense of Brunswick county residents to understand what life has been like living with the infamous Covid 19. We will take some time to focus on the housing aspect. We will speak with everyday residents and patrons who have worked in the hotel/hospitality travel industry, yet another huge sector and grossly impacted business area for this county. This snippet into the life and times of regular but oh so real residents give us insight into life with a pandemic in this popular, growing, tourist county nestled in the southernmost part of North Carolina.
