There was a new private housing development built about 10 years ago near where I grew up. The site was owned and developed by a local family who had been running their business from a yard across the road from this development since the 1950s.
It was in a commuter belt so most of the new owners were blow ins and worked in either Belfast or Dublin.
A year after all the houses were sold some of the new residents decided to start a petition for the removal or relocation of the builders yard across the road because apparently it was unsightly.
They were politely told where to stick their petition by the locals. |

The incomparable comic Ken Dodd, included a section within his extremely long shows about the combative inhabitants of two neighbouring villages, and blow-ins.
Despite the process of urbanisation worldwide, humans are still tribal by nature, and are inherently suspicious of new people from outside their clan.
The blow-in serves to trigger primitive emotions in our psychology.

I'm a blow in wherever I go, never had any problems, I generally get on with most folk.
It's tricky enough to meet locals, they nomally hang out among themselves. So what happens most of the time you get to know other blow ins.
Will the locals ever accept me? Some will, some won't, most are indifferent because they just get on with their own lifes.
