What cities would you say have changed their essential CHARACTER so dramatically in the past 20-30 years that they're like new cities?
I can think of Portland and Austin as examples. in 1970 both were fairly conservative towns, but now they're known as being liberal and artsy. I heard Asheville is also a hippie enclave now. What other examples can you think of? Any examples of the opposite, where a city has gone from liberal to very conservative? Also in terms of demographics, but with more of a focus on the city's main core relating to industry, politics, population etc.
Charlotte has not "re-invented" Itself. It just grew beyond crazy. There is a difference between re-invention and just absurd poorly managed growth.
