By the way,now Durham is cool? Any other time you go on about how boreing It is. Don't let the subject of crime come up. All of you are all over Durham. Pitiful lol
Are you done? Now let me put my reading glasses on so I can give you a good read since you insist on coming for me and throwing shade at Charlotte. I've never ever said that our traffic wasn't the worse. I mean it is and it's the largest city between Atlanta and Dc metro area for one and with that comes traffic. Just look Google maps in morning and see all the red in the major metros. There's also more people moving here faster then the NCDOT can keep up. Its a state issue, not Charlottes. Now Durham is a city that I love. Love the tobacco district and the old history there. Something Raleigh nor Charlotte has. I May have said Something about the crime in Durham but I've never been disrespectful to Durham like you are to Charlotte.

Now this has been bothering me for a while but you keep saying

I'll go with the opinion of Forbes over yours,sorry. But I think most people would.

By the way you didn't dig up any employment numbers? Clearly not in your favor,oh ok. I'd leave that alone too. Never mind
The U.S. Cenus is more reliable than Forbes. You look foolish.

Look it up on the US Census. I do not use any other source. Forbes is make you feel only BS. Forbes has to sell magazines. I gave you Charlotte employment numbers where is Raleigh's numbers.

No sir you look foolish,again. There is more to growth than raw numbers. They consider job growth and other factors. When considering growth.

If you have an issue take it up with Forbes. I didn't make up the rankings. I just posted it.

I'll go with their opinion not some guy on city-data. Considering they are Forbes one of the most reputable organizations in the world. Oh and it's what they do. Just because the facts don't go your way don't insult me. Deal with it.

Guess what" Charlotte is bigger so it has to provide more jobs for a population over 800,000. There are more jobs in Charlotte than there are people in Raleigh which a lot of people go to RTP everyday to work.

Where are the unemployment numbers? Or did Forbes fix those too?

You are old enough to know better. The problem is Charlotte has to DOUBLE the number of jobs created to even keep pace with Raleigh. Why? Because the population is basically DOUBLE! Even considering the Triangle vs Charlotte metro. The Triangle is still almost a full point better. This is common knowledge,move on to something else. You don't have a leg to stand on buddy!

When your unemployment numbers come down below 5,let me know!

Last I saw Charlotte/Meck 5.1 Raleigh/Wake 4.1 %

Charlotte has over 17,308 on average moving into Charlotte every year.
Raleigh has over 10,889 on the average moving into Raleigh every year.

Charlotte has to provide more jobs than Raleigh, this facts of life, you got more people you need more jobs.
Charlotte does not have the RTP to ship their people off to work as Raleigh does.

Dose it matter where we go to work at? As long as we go and a check comes every once in a while,we're good. I think you might need a nap or something. Because your posts are getting desperate.

Find 1 source that's says Charlotte's job market is better. If it's true it shouldn't be hard to come up with one. All the lists publications come up with every week. It shouldn't be hard at all.
