Wow. This post isn't surprising. It's amazing how obsessed you are with Raleigh.
BTW. Hampton Roads>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Raleigh and Charlotte metros. Just too damn expensive to live there.
I see what you're saying but I humbly disagree. When I was there for college from Charlotte it took some getting used to. Hampton Roads has a different vibe than Raleigh and Charlotte definitely, but some individuals may not like it. The Norfolk area is the truest military town in the country and it is a true coastal town. If someone really likes this then they can handle Norfolk. Otherwise it may not be a good fit. BTW, I don't care what anyone says, Norfolk is the CBD of Hampton Roads. The whole city is mad dense and urban.

Yeah Raleigh has this hands down Norfolk just aint got the height that Raleigh has nor the density, Sorry but this one seems unfair Raleigh smashes this one!

It's true that Norfolk's skyline isn't as tall as Raleigh's, but in terms of density, they are about the same. I voted for Raleigh, but I don't think it's an unfair comparison at all. The two skylines are more or less evenly matched.

Neither are impressive, but Naaaaafolk has water and is a little easier on the eyes. They both seem like somebody quickly threw up some buildings cause somebody told them they needed a downtown area.

Totally agree, Norfolk wins though with the water, Raleigh is nasty. Cannot believe it is winning, oh yes I can, most everyone on here is from NC.

Plus, this is about skylines, not the city as a whole. There's nothing "nasty" about Raleigh's skyline. This isn't Fresno we're talking about here.
I guess it just boggles your mind that people who aren't from NC can actually like something in NC. Not everybody has such a huge inexplicable irrational hatred of an entire state like you. I think you should really get some help for that and I sincerely mean that.

Please explain to me what about Raleigh is nasty? Obviously you have never been to Norfolk, 85% of the city is either slums, housing projects or railroad yards. I mean it's like, "come to downtown Norfolk and see the beautiful homeless shelter and the grocery store that's gone out of business...next we will stroll through Nordstrom where DIRECTLY across the street you can grab some popeye's chicken and tour one of the most dangerous housing projects in America" please give me a break, the whole area is just laughable
