Give Me the Low Down on Charlotte, NC


NYPantherFan

Recommended Posts

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
