I am trying to get a comparison of these two cities from people who may have lived in (or visited) both areas. Which would you rate the best city to live in regards to:
I live between the two, Charlotte is on the news nightly for some violent crime and I almost never hear anything out of Raleigh. I have never been to Raleigh but I have heard the culture is better and schools have to be better, the Charlotte school board can't even meet without fighting with each other. Climate should be very close to the same. Don't get me wrong, Charlotte does have a great night life and some really good communities, but you will pay for both.
