Charlotte is better than ATL

[Nature's Fury]

People in Charlotte are trying to make smart decisions about transit. But they still have to fight with the Republicans that run the state government and compete with other cities for Federal government money. The Blue Line got built out to the south first because they had to get white people on board


And they had already planned the trolley. The western light rail line will run to the airport.

lmao @ "will run" to the airport...y'all so far behind and already tryin to claim trophies...

if y'all ever got to the heights that ATL has gotten to, you'd have the exact same problems that you're bytchin about ATL having now...but that will never happen

Can someone point to me where Charlotte is on either of these list?

 

[Poitier]

Chicago's and New York's ceilings for Black people are higher.

lol no

 

[Samori Toure]

lol no

LOL yes.

 

[Family Man]

I don't know if there is a GOAT city but Charlotte has to be at the top of the list. I left dirty stanking ass NYC in 2008 for Charlotte and haven't been back since.
I love Charlotte man I just hope they put a quota in to keep these filthy ass dusty ass NYers from moving down here.

Anyways..Charlotte is a young nikka's paradise. Lots of beautiful and educated black women around here. Not to mention its a shyt load of schools and colleges around here.

 

[Poitier]

LOL yes.

those of us in the real world will continue to watch Chicago drop down every relevant metric like they've been doing yearly

lived in NYC so im not going to even entertain that stupidity

 

[TEH]

not from either place but I agree with the OP

 

[Apollo Creed]

lol no

exactly. NYC is a great city sure, but Black folks dont have no pull in that town compared to other groups. Yeah you have a few wealthy blacks, but when it comes to who runs that city Blacks are non factors compared to Atlanta where you literally have Blacks sitting at the table with the real shot callers.

I just don't see blacks being able to click up in NYC and make power moves without extreme push backs from Asians, Jewish, Italian,etc

 

[Apollo Creed]

Harlem should be the Global HQ of Black Excellence yet there are consistent talks of blacks losing Harlem, lol def not the case for ATL/Metro ATL.

I went to greensboro,saw a awful lot of trannys and i was in the hood most of the time

First time i ever been surrounded by a pack of trannys,first time i ever seen a big booty nikka wearing leggings

The women was fine as shyt though,but Carolina has its problems....if that shyt is goin on in the hood im pretty sure charlotte is worse....they gon have a whoooole lotta aids real soon

I guess it's cause I don't club but when I'm in Charlotte I don't see this. I will say they're more down-to-earth and carry themselves better than here up north.

Edit: You said Greensboro my bad.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Depends on what you want. I can deal with living in Raleigh but I am not a nightclub dude so a extravagant nightlife like the A isn't that appealing to me. Plus traffic is enough to make me not go to Atlanta. I would only move there for certfied money. If you are not someone who needs to be at the club all the time I can see why the A isn't as appealing

Its clear who hasn't visited the cities they talk about. The idea that the A is just one giant nightlife/club with strippers and not one of the fastest growing economies in the WORLD and on pace to be a top 10 global city

Yeah I wasn't there long enough to say I didn't just get lucky though....but the stars was out when I was down there

I don't know what your background is and we don't have to go into that. However, I grew up in Chicago. if you think that slow ass Charlotte and Atlanta are on pace with New York and Chicago then that is that. The only reason that people are even talking about Atlanta and Charlotte is because of the number of transplants from places like Chicago and New York.

So the reason people are talking about Atlanta (not really Charlotte) is because of migration when said migration is the only reason people talked about NYC and Chicago....intelligent argument you got me bro

And outside of food and its rap scene, I never hear people talk about the Chi as a travel or moving destination. Its going to be another rust belt casualty in a few decades.
