my mother in law lived in roxboro until very recently HONESTLY Durham city is so sprawling by the time you leave the city outskirts you're only 20 minutes away from roxboro.
In the post pandemic working in rtp a few days a week its quite workable to get to Durham chapel hill and RTP offices.
If you drive out to Franklinton now, you'll see how many houses they are building. I know someone that recently purchased a new build and is moving in may out there. Their downtown is ripe for development.
All it takes is time around here. With many companies switching to remote work exclusively, there no need to even live close to the Triangle. Might as well find a new development with a bigger yard for less money. The development is coming to those places mentioned.
3 years from now these small towns will look completely different.
I think we are poised for infill and upfill and outlying towns are positioned to take a beating IMO in the post covid reality especially if youre counting on living far out and communiting.
Raleigh has grown a lot obviously but the other metros have grown too I don't think we've 'overtaken' any notionally larger cities people would move too.
No one is saying Raleigh is bigger than Richmond say
I would rather just go a little a farther and be in greensboro with real city stuff instead of a far flung raleigh bedroom community.
I'm from eastern north carolina besides being closer to the beach I mean "the shore" the geography and topography is way less interesting than the western piedmont.
First Wake County land needs to become way more scarce and expensive. Then the same needs to happen to Durham County, Orange County, Johnston County, etc.......
Bingo!
When have you ever heard of a municipality transform its shopping, amenities, jobs, parks, cultural offerings and then start to grow? Wake and Durham will have to continue getting prohibitively expensive and then people will slowly trickle into these towns closer and then further from Raleigh, Durham. and RTP to the north.
