I am rooting for Charlotte to take advantage of its professional class of creative business types. I feel that Charlotte is highly underrated in terms of its progressive minority population. Being a financial center, Charlotte should offer more to attract young people interested in finance, accounting, and a analytics. There should also be more of an incentive to encourage entrepreneurship. Build a professional brand instead of worrying about pretentious entertainment districts and kombucha bars.

Charlotte already has a pretty good professional brand and it's doing well at attracting young people interested in the lines of work you mention. It could use more things to contribute to the fun factor though, like those 'pretentious' entertainment districts.

One thing about Charlotte is that alot of old and young folks from the DC are moving down there buying homes raising values.

Yeah when I lived in the DC area, it wasn't uncommon to hear talk of folks wanting to move down to the Triangle or Charlotte.

KC and St. Louis over Raleigh and Charlotte.
Missouri over North Carolina.
Midwest over southeast.
Except for the growth, the southeast isn’t that impressive. That it’s affordable and it doesn’t get much snow are it’s big claims to fame, no offense.
The midwest does built-up areas better, in my opinion. Less scattered and more sensible, which makes it easier for people like me to deal with day to day.

Then why do y'all flood our beaches every year around this time? Go to the Northeastern or West Coast beaches if there's nothing here that impresses y'all.

I’m from the south.
Can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve been a lot of places in the Carolinas, but never the beach.

That's about as backwards as it gets. Most people who have only been to the Carolinas once or a few times have only been to the beach LOL.

Sounds to me like he regards the beach much as Philadelphia residents regard Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.
