So after visiting San Diego I got to think that Charlotte ….
After visiting San Diego, I came back to Charlotte thinking… Charlotte definitely isn’t a bad place to live, but what exactly are we getting?
I feel like Charlotte’s biggest selling point used to be: affordable houses, good jobs, growing city, low tax, decent quality of life. But now that a nice house can easily push $700k–$1M+, a lot of pretty loco people, and other than breweries and hiking what keeps Charlotte attractive?
It made me wonder if I’d rather have a 2 bedroom condo somewhere like San Diego access to ocean, interesting city great weather, walkable areas and endless things to do than a huge house in Charlotte.
Yes, taxes, gas, insurance, etc. are higher in places like California. But maybe that’s simply the price of living somewhere with more to offer. And we only live once not to enjoy it
Curious if anyone else has started questioning the Charlotte “value proposition,” because I feel that all I do is work and wait till I can do more work or am I completely missing what makes it worth staying.
