Give Me the Low Down on Charlotte, NC

Looking for some helpful advice - my family and I are looking to make the move from Western NY and Charlotte has come up as a potential landing spot. I work in the mortgage industry and Charlotte has several opportunities with companies I am looking at. So I'm hoping the friendly people from the Huddle can give me some insight on the city.

 

Mainly I'm looking for some of the nicer areas/neighborhoods to look for houses either in the city or surrounding areas. But any information on the city would be great!

If you're raising a family, or plan on it in the near future, Charlotte is a great place to live.

If you're single and want to live in a city with culture, run away from Charlotte as fast as you can.

 

Spot on.

Charlotte and the surrounding areas are great for raising a family. My biggest issue with the transplants down here now is they get here then bitch about everything and rip on the south. So yah, don't do that.

So I'll just copy and paste from the other thread:

 

Highest sales taxes in the state, highest property taxes in the state.

Infrastructure is atrocious. Interstate system has been struggling to catch up for 20 years. Traffic is horrible.

Uptown/downtown is rather sterile and generic- nothing to really make you remember, "Charlotte!"

Usual mix of upscale restaurants and art galleries trying to make in-roads.

 

There's just no real draw to the city. There are so many more smaller cities around that have much better selling points than Charlotte- Greenville SC, Charleston, Asheville...

 

And to add:

Since moving to the east coast in 1992, I've lived in Greensboro, Asheville and Eastern NC and own a couple properties on the southern NC coast. My wife, who is originally from NYC area and has lived here since 1985, has been offered a couple opportunities in Charlotte over the years and, despite the fact we had PSLs for 17 years and travel to Charlotte many times during the season, there is nothing that is drawing us to live there.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Nope Still missing it. Let's try this a different way... You have two quarterbacks from schools that ran the same kind of offense - maybe even two from the same school - on a given team (not necessarily the Panthers). One is designated the starter while the other is named the backup. Why?

      yeah, pretty sure boss.....when things match and fit in the NFL.....the results then show it.  and when they don't, well, the results show that as well.  Bryce doesn't fit.   *but I get why late season and wants to argue with everyone Mr. Scot has also turned into a please don't talk to me about stats guy as well.  Given, the stats that reflect offensive productivity work against all your present arguments.

      Yeeeah...stats and rankings have zero to do with a discussion of scheme and skill set match. Maybe look up definitions of style vs ability and see if that helps. At this point, you've basically had three different people explain to you where you're wrong, but rather than addressing any of those statements, you're just resorting to straight deflection.  You don't get it. Either that or you're acting like you don't get it so that you can avoid the discussion because it's not going well for you. (that wouldn't surprise me either) 😄 Sme result either way, I suppose.
