Just want to get some opinions. There have been a good deal of people moving here for a while now. With the housing markets in many cities getting ready to die a painful death, do you guys think even MORE people will be moving here to North Carolina??? NC has gotten a lot of press as a great place to live. Add in people's getting burned in a housing bubble that will pop over the next 18 months. Won't there be an accelerating number of people moving here from Florida and even California once the credit crunch and housing markets really start to deflate???

I'm just curious....if 70 people are moving into Charlotte everyday--how many are moving out?? That does sound like a lot of people. I just have to believe not everyone is going to be happy with their move and move on. Where are they all going to work???

Well, people come to these boards and whine like crazy about hiring practices in NC being so slow, can't find a job, wah wah. They don't realize it is NOT the NC companies' hiring practices that is the issue, it is the fact that there simply are not enough jobs for 70 new people each day, not even in the land o' milk and honey.

Mecklenburg county from 2000 to 2006 added 130,000 people, 19% growth.
Union county, Mecklenburg's eastern neighbor, grew by 52,000 people, 42% growth, and is the 15th fastest growing county in the nation. |

I am not sure why you think I think this is a good thing - believe me, I do not. Your assertion that posting these statistics is to "market" Charlotte is way off base. And your comment about "liberal annexation" is even further off base - there hasn't been much left to annex in the last few years. |

Because the housing bubble has burst is why the whole housing market is down or dead in som areas.
Many people from the Midwest/Northeast sell their house because of high taxes, cost of living, etc and move to NC buying a house for cash. If they cannot sell their existing house they cannot buy a new one. Until the mortgage market comes back around, housing purchases will be down everywhere. |
