Look man, you have zero credibility. You come across like a complete lunatic and then expect people to take you seriously. Doesn't work that way. You ignore other posters logical and clearly well defined points (your lack of understanding on how the census determines CSA's and MSA's is hilariously sad, dismissing cases where someone counters you with empirical data, ect). And for what it's worth, no...I wan't go back through this mess and cite them, I imagine you are fully aware already.
If you want to engage people (online, or in life for that matter) you aren't going to get anywhere acting like a clown. You are an unbelievably poor booster of Raleigh (a city I find fantastic, I might add) and don't get me started on how horrific your grammar and spelling are. It's no wonder you've got the time to post 200+ times in 4 days.
You want to talk about Raleigh, we are ALL EARS. Raleigh has a lot of awesome qualities. Just don't expect to get treated with respect when you don't warrant it.
You can't argue with stupid.
He has two accounts having conversations with himself. He forgets to sign out to switch accounts so he has post that has nothing but a period and signs into his other account to repost it.
I would love for other Raleigh posters to see some of the dumb stuff he says. I read the Raleigh section on UP regularly. And they are intelligent. Their complaints, compliments about Charlotte are legit, reasoned. Their knowledge of other cities & developments make for interesting reads.

When ya got nothin" deflect by talking about two accounts and call people stupid, is this the best Charlotte folks can do? Sad
"The U.N. uses areas it calls “urban agglomerations,*” which measure the continuously built-up areas around central cities. It’s a different measure from the Metropolitan Statistical Area used by the U.S. Census Bureau."
Washington DC: metro population - 5,949,859
Phoenix: metro population - 4,398,762
Orlando: metro population - 2,975,658

Raleigh/Triangle is growing at a faster clip than Charlotte/Metrolina, and the Triangle economy is steady and more recession proof. It's just a matter of time before Metrolina is the 2nd largest metro in the Carolinas. There's no shame in that In meantime Raleigh will continue to best Charlotte in nearly every measurable national ranking No shame in that either, just the difference in the two metros
lol... MSA to MSA *is* a fair comparison.
for the umpteenth time, it isn't charlotte's fault that raleigh's influence is so weak that durham isn't included in its MSA.

And as you see they expect Charlotte to have close to 600,000 more people than Raleigh & Durham/Chapel Hill won't make up the difference
