So one article says that we are the 66th best place where it makes sense to buy but another says we are the 15th emptiest. Another says we are one of the fastest growing cities. These articles make no damn sense.
This is why I go off when people post these articles (good or bad)....they should be taken for nothing more than entertainment at best, and at worst used for bird cage liner. But there's always people who take this stuff as gospel.
Seeing as how I am a writer . . . I can assure you, Jack, your attitude is spot on. Assign me an article on anything you want . . . and I will find a way to do it. Charlotte is booming! Charlotte is dying! Charlotte will rebound quickly! Charlotte will never recover! Charlotte is boring! Charlotte is vibrant!
Someone write me out a check . . . I will take any stance you want.
Srsly--Why are new subdivisions being created when there is a glut? There are 2 new ones just cleared next to mine, and my subdivision is only 80% built. Anyone in the home-building business enlighten me on that?
I can see where the article is coming from though. We need to get a handle on all these empty homes and half finished neighborhoods. The market is tough and I still see some developers trying to develop around here in Union County.

Speaking of which, I saw a sign for "Sugar Magnolia Estates" go up last week across from my neighborhood - I guess it's where the Woods was going to be developed? Anyone know anything about this new neighborhood?
Did anyone read the related article that was listed???? It didn't mention Charlotte specifically BUT it pointed out that some of the so-called "Empty Cities" are the very same cities that are seeing home sales that are on the rise. Folks who can afford it are taking advantage of the reduced home prices all across the country, including here. Grant you, they aren't rushing out in droves to snap up houses but they are out there.
No matter what the first article says, people have to live somewhere. With the current economic crisis we are in, some folks who have lost everything they had haven't necessarily left the area. More than likely they are living with family members till they can get back on their feet.
If anybody has any questions about Charlotte being an empty city, please go read the plethora of threads being posted regularly by folks who want to move here. We're a pretty popular place!

Why all the empty spaces?
