I don't think I ever seen a traffic light where I live at

I love how you brought a positive outlook to these cons. I would love to move to the Charlotte area one day. Thank you

Raleigh

The wildlife in West Charlotte is why I moved away

Nah, northern Florida is red enough for me.

Thank you for this video. Born in SC. Raised in Florida. Want to retire to NC near Charlotte. This is very helpful.

Lets show a scene of New York City from the Jersery side in a video about Charlotte

The fall colors are dull. Every year I waited for the brightness and beauty, and even the mountains were just different shades of brown. Nothing like the north. Cold nights make for breathtaking colors and crisp, sweet/sour apples. I finally left the Charlotte area after 30 years to head back north. Everyone there thought we were crazy, but I LOVE 4 seasons, beautiful falls and snowy winters. NC is NOT for everyone. Jobs are the only real reason that I can see to live in the development-owned local govts allowance of unregulated growth of the outskirts of Charlotte, traffic and population growth that the local govts are not prepared to handle the infrastructure needed for it all. Why aren't the developers forced to pay for the extra/widening roads, needed schools and all of the other headaches that come with moving thousands of families into towns that were built for 5000 people, tops? Instead it's is left up to the taxpayers to wait decades for improvements caused by the developers moving in, building cheap housing for the mcmansion subdivisions every 100 yards, and then they are gone, leaving the stunned population to clean up and PAY FOR their mess. I was just curious to see what was behind this 'recommended' headline, I didn't realize it was a real estate video.

The only thing that’s not awesome is that it’s not super progressive but it’s not closed minded so really it’s perfect

NC drivers need to realize that because another driver needs to merge over into your lane, they are NOT trying to "cut you off." Everyone knows how the lanes drop off quickly here and moving and merging is NECESSARY.....again, it's NOT personal! But many drivers insist on running up behind me, blowing their horn, and having a hissy fit even after I signaled my intention, increased my speed (which was already over the speed limit) and moved over as best as I possibly could.

Thank you for actually talking about negative things unlike some people in the comments who rather ignore the truth and just see the good. The good would not exist without the bad.

The BEST way to get to downtown Charlotte is to catch the Carolinian from either Raleigh or Cary.

One thing you might want to consider is Charlotte's light rail. It is a really nice mode of transportation from UNCC to south west Pineville. It runs 20 minutes off peak and 15 minutes peak.

Will Do.....Do You Have Any Options for Someone who Wants to First Time Home Buyer In Your State Local Area But Live In Another State? Want To Mov There And Work In The Health System To buy my first home but don't want to be renting and other unnecessary living arrangements. Want to be about to move and close with ease as much as possible.

HOAS are dog shit

I'm a Charlotte natve and the best thing I ever did was buy a starter home off Rea Road near Providence for $115,000 and then bought another rental near Carmel and Johnston (both in 28226 zip) in 2003 for $143,000. $258,000 invested over 20 years ago = $1.37 million dollars in equity.

Im mad u put this tarantula on the screen! I jumped in surprise and disgust. Anyway, yes these are the negatives most ppl say, but it's still a good place to live. I like in Raleigh-Durham area. But im certain our traffic isnt nearly as bad as Charlotte

Some folks from Charlotte bought a home in my neighborhood recently. They paid a third more than the home was worth ($200,000 more), and started remodeling immediately although the home was recently renovated. Several weeks and many $thousands later it looks much worse than when they started. Where do people this dumb get their money?

One year later (august 24) there is nothing affordable anywhere. The federal government's monetary policies have destroyed the American dream for everyone except the super rich.

Don't drop the mic you might break it😅 the floor is not soft 😅

The cheapest is actually Icard. You can see why.

Houses are twice the price in Massachusetts. I can't wait to get out! Also Trump 2024

Tha k you so much for doing this, we are seniors and on a fixed income.

Charlotte is better.

There are not crocodiles.

I've lived in NC 22 years and love it. It's not the perfect state as every place has its flaws, but I love that it's very seasonal, you got beaches to the east, mountains west of the state and it's very green and fall is gorgeous here. I live in Cary, the only things I don't like specifically within the Raleigh area are the way some people drive, not everyone but a good number of people here drive like maniacs. If you're going 10 and 15 mph over the speed limit then there should be no reason why a person should feel the need to be all up on someone's bumper as if they aren't going fast enough. Where I'm from that's good way to get into a fight or worse. Other than that no other complaints.

South Carolina would be much better. Say somewhere around Rock Hill.

That’s a croc of sh%# just kidding just a crocodile 🐊💚

WOW ... I was just there a few months ago, my brother and his wife were looking around there for a home. From what I saw it was really pretty and the people were just friendly and nice. The whole week there I did not see one piece of trash on the ground or even any homeless walking around holding up signs.

Winston Salem is the most under appreciated city in NC. Great arts and cultural city. Great health care. Three respected universities. Affordable housing. Good schools. Reasonable taxes. Easy to get around. Easy drives to the mountains and shores. Terrific restaurants. As person who grew up in Boston, the 20 years I lived in W-S I consider it my true home. Great people and lots of young people and families.

Traffic bad every where....

Pleaz i need your top Ten places to buy a rental propety 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I would suggest those that are uncomfortable here in the Greatest of 50 States, should transfer their ass somewhere else. Bye !!!

everything you said you hate about NC can be applied to Hartford, CT, except for the BUGS not as many. but your winters are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than CT. and TAXES we have the highest. I plan on moving to Lake Norman area

Give your son a break and leave NC. V/R

liberal's have. ruined. Asheville- deal real -snow other places are just fine...lol

Normie is an alligator.

Wow no boat traffic at all!!! Looks fantastic !!! How is it on the weekends and July 4th ??? Just as good probably ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

People stop moving here. Seriously !! STOP MOVING HERE. WE ARE FULL !!!!!

Too many people. And every idiot moving here thinks they have to live between 77 and the river.

JESUS, I remember Ms Stutts running the place years ago. I wish they hadn’t cut down the trees.

We really don’t need anyone else moving here. Traffic is horrible, taxes increasing every year , it’s too crowded!!!!!

Is this the same town where Dale Earnhardt lived? Just curious.

This looks like a fabulous little city. I'd love to try The Chophouse. Plenty of benches to sit and sip on some coffee and enjoy the scenery. I'll have to check out this little town.

Just tell everyone that has to move here not to turn this place into the craphole that they just left. Mooresville is the original 10lbs of crap in a 2lb bag.

Not being negative, just giving a different point of view. We bought a place here15 years ago from upstate NY. The traffic has gotten crazy all over, when we go back to visit, it's just as bad there. The humidity in NY is worse than down here, it can get pretty hot there, but it feels hotter even when the temperature isn't as high, because it's so humid. The pollen was just as bad covering our vehicles in NY. My allergies as well as my son's allergies have been a lot better down here, to the point where I rarely use medicine anymore. I think a lot of that is because it doesn't get as much snow and rain here, so there is less mold spores in the air. Now as for bugs... I hate bugs, we didn't have palmetto bugs or fire ants, which was great, but there were many times the mosquito's would litterally swarm us, you could rarely go outside without getting eaten alive. I think we've seen less than 5 mosquito's since we moved here, and we're outside all the time. Which is another big plus for living down here. We rarely had a string of pleasant days up there, it was either way too cold, or too hot and humid. I wouldn't complain at all.

I-77 runs both ways.

Typical yankee.... They move to the South and complain about how much better things are up north!
