They have them in Milan Italy also. Alas, we are far too cold for them here in winter. Milan I think is zone 8a which is just enough for some citrus.
any pic of that? in Milan is practically impossible, one month they have average lows below freezing line and 3 months under 1ºC, plus those warm days which happen in SE US doesn't happen in Milan.
In Georgia and S.C. in those places can be possible, as you say they have +50f high averages in the coldest month and some days are really warm, but in Milan that doesn't happen, and high avgs are very cold, in fact December and January are colder than in Rotterdam and in Rotterdam you can't stand them even a single winter, I don't think in Milan is slightly possible without protection, never heard of that.
In fact in Milan only Trachycarpus grow, which are the hardier palm trees, those ones grow in Rotterdam too, in Milan there aren't even Butias, W.Robustas or P.Dactylferas, just seasonal, as in Rotterdam.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan#Climate 3 months in a year are too cold for standing any kind of Phoenix, CIDP, Washingtonias... or any kind of citrus, even hardy lemons can't grow for the low highs.
Add to that the very low amount of sunshine and the cold rain, and you have a lethal combination for any kind of citrus. I tried to Google in much pages but nothing related to citrus or palms outside Trachys.
Why they don't plant palm trees there? Some classes of palm trees can grow without any kind of problem with those climates!
They do, I wish there were some palm enthusiasts in the outerbanks. They could pull off a queen palm possibly. Palms are not rare in these places, most are not inhabited much is all. Sabal Palmetto is planted though. Why do you say palms are rare?

Because after doing some street view in the center and in residential zones of Manteo or Southport, plus looking at their wiki photos, it was really hard for me to find a single Sabal there.
Nothing related to the other place of SC mentioned before which is full of Sabals and some phoenixes.

I've noticed that too, is a single user, maybe a clone of another c-d user which wants to be anonymous ? Who knows, but he must have an obsession with London.

I don't know, its certainly not a climatic reason; sabal minor are native in that area. Southport certainly has lots of sabal palms though, I think its because they are not popular is all. Notice that myrtle beach is a tourist town and has tons. Give me a minute ill post some streetview links.

Yes to that place I was referring with the SC place, Myrtle Beach, every 2 houses you'll find at least 1 Sabal and the shopping/leisure streets and near the beach it's full of them, practically all are Sabals.
I know, it's not for climatic reasons, here happens too, in Madrid for example the people can grow without problems CIDPs, Washingtonias, Butias, Sabals, Jubaeas, and even Syagrus (queen palm)
but you will find only a few in the city, luckily those last years more and more people are planting them in their gardens, in urbanizations or public roundabouts, there are some very beautiful old specimens
