Charlotte Economic Development
Texas, North Carolina, or Kentucky?
My picks: First, Texas. Second (by a longshot, but I still love it,) North Carolina.
Texas: some of the friendliest people anywhere; huge, thriving cities (D/FW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston,) great job market, eclecticism in Austin, history in San Antonio and Ft. Worth, beaches, mountains, prairies, deserts, corn nuggets, Houston Astros, a great state! And the women…wow!
North Carolina: Away from the yankee enclaves (Fayetteville, Raleigh, and Charlotte,) it’s still a pretty friendly state. There is a lot to do–NASCAR, Asheville, the Biltmore, Outer Banks, hiking, Smoky Mountains, etc. The prettiest of the three states!
Kentucky, while beautiful, is no hotbed of economic growth and progessive thinking. The politicians have helped to prohibit growth and development. People are, by and large, guarded and frankly hateful (especially Louisville); small towns are very sheltered and closed off to “the outside.” I’m a native who has NEVER felt comfortable or at home there.
NC.
I’m a damn yankee from up north, and I moved here about 15 years ago. I love it here. We’ve got the mountains, beaches and everything in between! And it rivals Colorado in beauty (lived there for 2 years). I have never in my life met more colorful and crazy prople! Dont get me started on the rednecks! lol There is a severe problem with illegal immigrants, but I can mostly overlook it, since I’m not looking or fighting for a job.
