No discussion of Charlotte North Carolina would be complete without addressing the notorious heat and humidity. Summers in Charlotte North Carolina can be sweltering, with temperatures often soaring into the 90s and humidity making it feel even hotter.

Nice video. Any city nowadays that’s worth living in is experiencing the same problem of traffic congestion. Been moving around a bit over the past 10 years, and traffic is just a common problem someone can expect moving to any decent city

[@MovingtoCharlotte]

100% on target. Where was the worst traffic you faced?

[@MindfulAttraction2.0]

thanks for the warning :)

[@MovingtoCharlotte]

My pleasure. I’ve lived in several regions around the country and a little bit overseas. IMO - overall a great place to live. 😊

[@elizabeththomas9723]

Great Video Dave! You have given folks a lot to think about when they are thinking of moving to the Charlotte area. Could not agree more with the top 5. It still has the southern charm with the metropolitan feel that people are looking for and love.

[@MovingtoCharlotte]

Thank you, Miss Thomas. Lots of things are opinions…. But no one likes traffic, high costs and stale beer.

[@CoolFactorCards]

Really impressive video David! Traffic had to be #1 on the list, But the light rail, we use often when in uptown going to games and events. A life saver!

[@MovingtoCharlotte]

Thanks. I wanted to highlight the things that the bigger pool of of people identify as needing improvement. I've been to several places with much worse traffic and much more robust public transportation.... I happen to love the Lynx.

[@CoolFactorCards]

@@MovingtoCharlotte you’re talking to a guy from California, you don’t need to talk to me about traffic :)

[@Chris-pf8by]

No idea how I landed on this video but yes, for any city of considerable size a vast, quality and affordable public transportation is key. For inner city dwellers bikeability is of importance.

[@MovingtoCharlotte]

Exactly. The Lynx (light rail) is nice, just not nearly expansive enough. While I don’t see a lot of bikes uptown, those scooters are all over.

[@jarvisstradford7211]

The Charlotte metro is 2.8 million now. They updated it last month.

[@MovingtoCharlotte]

Yeah, I know there are some info sources that have it at a few different numbers. Thanks again.

[@jarvisstradford7211]

I know right 😅
