boyst Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 ...and they're all in the South, does that no surprise anyone? So nice not to see Miami, Atlanta, or New Orleans on there, too. Charlotte is much better then Raleigh, but Raleigh receives all of the funding and is lured by the state bureacrats to the capitol. It is rather interesting as a case study. Charlotte has businesses luring other business and Raleigh has government luring business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Charlotte is much better then Raleigh, but Raleigh receives all of the funding and is lured by the state bureacrats to the capitol. It is rather interesting as a case study. Charlotte has businesses luring other business and Raleigh has government luring business. I can't believe how ignorant that statement is. Raleigh is not going to grow at all because of government, as NC pointed out, Raleigh and the surrounding area will boom because of the Research Triangle Park and new large businesses settling down here, such as Novartis, et al.

boyst Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) I can't believe how ignorant that statement is. Raleigh is not going to grow at all because of government, as NC pointed out, Raleigh and the surrounding area will boom because of the Research Triangle Park and new large businesses settling down here, such as Novartis, et al. It is not ignorance. Raleigh has done so very little to give Charlotte any cred. Charlotte is bigger then Raleigh and receives far less funding (partly because of schools, yes). Raleigh is nice but it is not Charlotte. Edited July 12, 2011 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmenow Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'd take Raleigh over charlotte. Trying to split from the charlotte area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 The Sabres come to play in Raleigh twice every year, therefore Raleigh > Charlotte. Is the famous big city detective Barney Fife still in Raleigh? Barney Fife: Well, today's eight-year-olds are tomorrow's teenagers. I say this calls for action and now. Nip it in the bud. First sign of youngsters going wrong, you've got to nip it in the bud. Andy Taylor: I'm going to have a talk with them. What else do you want me to do? Barney Fife: Well, don't just mollycoddle them. Andy Taylor: I won't. Barney Fife: Nip it. You go read any book you ant on the subject of child discipline and you'll find every one of them is in favor of bud-nipping.
