Now that we all agree Raleigh>Charlotte lets get back to the actual topic...

I drove to work today down 29 / Tryon Street and let me tell you…it is flat out slums.  I lived here in the 80s and Charlotte was a small up and up and coming city.  Charlotte is a big city now.  The poverty and slums all over the place are disturbing.  Charlotte is not a nice place

Charlotte’s problem is that it is overrun by the brewery scene. It’s just become a drinkers town. And the traffic is absolutely horrid now. Uptown is mostly lame and inaccessible despite it being beautiful. 
 

Noda/Plaza/ and Southend are cool though. The Knights games are awesome though and nothing beats a home Panthers game when the stakes are high.

Seriously those places you mentioned are surrounded by incredible crime.  IMO Charlotte is not much different than a Chicago.  Everything smells terrible and there is filth and garbage everywhere.  I can’t imagine anyone really wanting to move their family here.  Me and the wife are planning a beach move asap

As I drove to work today there was someone with a help me sign on every single corner.

What millionaire would choose to live in the butthole of North Carolina?

Watching the whole Panthers staff walk up to him and look at him with amazement is like bettors looking at a stallion at the Kentucky derby. "My what a fine specimen!" 

Honestly, the entire draft process has this vibe and always has. I try to push it to the back of my mind.

Raleigh is the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the entire country.

At one time Charlotte was one of the fastest growing cities in the country.  What you hate about Charlotte will happen to Raleigh,a biggish city with no identity.  Like how no one is from Charlotte, no one will be from Raleigh as well.

MCCown is the only person I trust evaluating QBs to be honest and that’s not really saying anything. I have no idea if he will be a good evaluator but that unknown beats what we do know -

Tepper and Rhule’s GM both inept/little to zero experience, Reich has made god awful QB evaluations based on religion…

Hell I even trust Morgan more than any of them. I hope Brown has some say as well.

People who hate on those cities aren’t too aware of what other cities are like. Those with history/culture/character also have a lot of issues that come with that diversity such as engrained disparity. Lots of raff. Some don’t want to deal with that. As I get older and have lived just about in every mid to large city, both Raleigh and Charlotte are fantastic, above average cities to settle down for those over the age of 30.

I've got nothing against Raleigh. It was fun when I've visited and pleasant. It's odd how much of an inferiority complex it had though. Being the capital they are spoiled by infrastructure.

I can't believe you have to look at poor people. It must be so difficult. Hang in there

Having lived in a third world country, I can tell you that you have never seen slums before.
