No, you just have no idea what you are talking about, your posts are actually funny. We aren't laughing at you.......no, we are.
Oh, you REALLY got me there
So, you still think Toyota put no effort into researching the county directly neighboring Mecklenburg? If you are right, then:
- Toyota really wasn't that serious about considering Charlotte metro/Mecklenburg (but they were)
or
- Toyota is run by a bunch of idiots, seeing as how such an incredible opportunity was, literally, right under them and they missed it.
OH or one last possibility: You're just wrong haha.
Of the 3...I'd guess the last one is most accurate.

Sure, whatever you say. we have all been impressed with your ability to understand complex business situations, I am sure folks are lining up to hire you as a consultant.
In the best years, Charleston gets 14k, a lot of which are retirees looking to pay almost no taxes in SC.
Vacationers.....Charleston. It has the beach and is marketed as a vacation destination.
Magazines like to publish lists which get the locals excited but it is driven by many factors not related to core data. Besides, magazine subscriptions are not representative of the population.
Haha, keep marching to your same tired tune.

Charleston is a top 10 growing mid-size metro for software industries and occupation
Charleston ranks 5th in the US for high tech industry output
Charleston has a higher share of tech-jobs than Austin, TX.
Charleston is a top 10 metro for job recovery and economic growth

Sounds like Charleston is truly a place you can have it ALL!! Beautiful beaches, high scale restaurants, tremendous outdoors activity, high-tech jobs, history, culture, arts, a livid walkable nightlife downtown every night of the week, aerospace jobs, and did I mention the insanely beautiful and numerous women? And heck, if you truly need a big city experience and a pro football, baseball or basketball game, Atlanta is a mere 4 hour drive away, an easy weekend trip for some major city life.

So which is it?
- Toyota was never really serious about Mecklenburg County anyway
- Toyota missed a huge opportunity right under their noses and to this day have never looked at the neighboring counties of Mecklenburg, and thus, confirming their company is run by idiots
- Or last, but not least, you're just wrong
Im not a consultant, and don't pretend to be. But its common freakin' sense. For you to think a company that big, and that successful, is THAT BLIND is just humerous.
Oh, and yeah, former Gov Sanford DID push hard to get Boeing. Which again shows you going in circles. As I said....IF SC were to pursue a company, it will be to one of the 3 main metros, since almost all our politicians of influence are from there. Sanfords roots are in Charleston. He pushed Charleston to Boeing (not York).
Maybe he means "visitors" vs "tourists". With all the conventions, ball games, and car races, and business conferences, Im sure the city does have a lot of visitors. But it isn't a "destination" city. Its a city you go to because something is happening there, but otherwise, you wouldn't go to that city. Charleston is a city you go to...because of the city itself.
Big difference.
....it is a city you go to because something is happening there. Imagine that, people visit paces where things are happening as opposed to Aiken SC where nothing happens. Isn't that what i have been saying, there is a lot happening in Charlotte, finally you get it.... So much so that we attract over 3x the number of people that Charleston gets without a beach. But, with precision, you are wrong yet again. Folks also visit our museums such as the world class Bechtler or Mint. They visit the many performing arts Venues with performances only shown in Charlotte for the Carolinas or as Charleston posters have said, for concerts or shopping that Chareston lacks. and yes, people visit for business, sporting events, conventions etc....
Charleston is visited primarily because of the beach, not necessarily to shop King St. And, actually Charlotte is a destination city for people to live and visit.

LOL....higher share of tech jobs than Austin? You have 5k IT jobs and you Think you are comparable to Austin?
I'll make it easy, BofA has more tech jobs in Charlotte than the entire Charleston tech sector. And, the startups, talk to hem in a year when they are starting up another online marketing company disquised as tech. FUND good read is the Silican Harbor website listing tech companies with 1 employee.
Nice try......but, if it is so great, why are you posting so much.

Friend A says to Friend B "Lets go to Charlotte this weekend"
Friend B says "Why?...is something going on?"
Friend A says to Friend B "Lets go to Charleston this weekend"
Friend B says "Yeah, ok, that sounds fun!"
People need a reason to visit Charlotte. A specific reason, an event. Charleston? Nah, they just go. They know something worth doing will always be there.
I'd never go to Charlotte without a specific event that is occurring there.
