Is this still accurate?

So you moved from Buffalo to Charlotte?

It's turning into another new Atlanta

Just moved to the Charlotte metro area from the NYC area and Miami area and I can tell you if you're tired of the big city fast paced life, want more affordable housing, but still have some big city amenties then Charlotte is the place for you! It has the perfect balance of small town and big town energy.

As a native Charlottean since 1996 the best way to describe it is a city that is not keeping up with its rapid growth. It used to be a small quiet southern city but it has grown so much and has had such an influx of New Yorkers that the southern culture is pretty much gone. The city has done a terrible job in planning for future growth. All the major roads here are still two lane roads which makes the traffic horrendous. Crime has gotten way worse, the CMS school system has got to be one of the worst in the country, apartments are being built on every corner, etc. its nothing like it used to be when I was young. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to move here because I really the city has a whole lot to offer at this point that you can’t find in any other big city that is built to handle its population.

Is it affordable for a person retirig from ny

You are so underrated you deserve more subs and your vids are super entertaining

People walk their dogs in every neighborhood lol

Charlotte is for families and single men. This message is for single ladies. I currently live in Charlotte but looking to move within this year. 1. Shopping is the worst here. The fashion Buyers for the stores do not know fashion. 2. If you’re looking for big city vibes, Charlotte is not it. 3. If you’re a single heterosexual female that moved from Cali, Texas, DMV or Tri-state and you’re looking for eye candy, you won’t be happy here and chances are if you do find one, that’s someone else’s man because it’s extremely slim pickings. I think I’ve seen maybe 7 in the past 4 years and that’s being generous

Not only is it no longer affordable but we don’t have the infrastructure to support.

it doesn’t look like an inclusive city. It looks small and white, but thank you.

climate change misquito.. lol- the hype never ends- cant be the humidity or heat- they have had flying roaches in. Fla for years- no climate change-go to MIami thousands of them await u-

Hey Devonte, great video. You sound very sincere and I like your personality. You’re the kind of guy I’d like to share a drink or beer at one of those breweries. From New York. Just north of the city. My daughter is relocating there in October. Was thinking it might be time to leave also. Thanks for the info. Be well!

I hear what yall are saying on price. But, as someone who grew up and still works in the Hickory Grove area, I would advise people not to move there. If you do, neighborhoods off Robinson Church Rd aren't bad and avoid anything close to Milton Rd and WT Harris Bv. Not a bad place for food though. Teddy's Pizza and Pandas Den are staples.

Two of my favorite cocktails lounges are in Plaza Midwood. Lorem Ipsum and the Supperland (back lounge) Thank me later!

The NC tolls are a SCAM scam. I signed up for the monthly automatic refill on my account with the toll system. I authorized $20 a month because I only use it on the weekends sparingly. They somehow increased it to $30 without my permission. And when I called to deauthorize it they said I couldn't. I deactivated the entire account.

Charlotte changed after covid

I’m ready to leave it’s way to high here now and not Worth it

Can you recommend any tech recruiters/companies with whom to work when moving to Charlotte?

Sardis woods?? Hickory grove?? Lol

Can i have your contact information

Man stop ✋️

Thank you

fire video man love your energy

Why does the city look so dead at night? Does the city have a nightlife?

Im a Carpetbagger from the north too lol, but homie you EXTRA CARPETBAGGERY. Turn it down a notch champ.

Good info👌👌

Bro I love this video. But you gotta ban k up from the camera please.

I'm still interested in this city. I think I'd like it! For now I'm in Raleigh-Durham area though. I'm def a North Carolina girl now.

Hmm come to the outside parts in Charlotte the country parts.. we have bears foxes bobcats

lol a goose down jacket?! 😭 never heard that one

Public service announcement: As Americans, we have the God given right to move to anywhere we please. I love how people say “Dont come here” in the comments like we are illegal immigrants. And probably still renting.Everyone deserves the right to go somewhere where they can raise their family and be apart of the community and not have to worry about the things that made them leave their home state. Im a big 2A supporter and my home state is blue. I have family in NC so its a easy transition. The driving sucks down here tho😂😂😂

You didn't name but one employer.

My daughter lived there for 4 years. She just moved up North a month ago to get married. She loved living in Davidson. Great video! :-)

North Carolina is absolutely FULL of!!!! If you come here be prepared to sit in traffic half your life. Bugs bugs bugs !!!!!!! Snakes snakes snakes !!! Oh and the humidity is a killer. Did I mention that the traffic is TERRIBLE

Definitely a new subscriber via Columbia South Carolina

Hello there, I would like to know what you guys think of the Steele Creek area? I'm planning to move to apartments around that area witch I believe they're great. What can you say ? Is it safe? Is it a god location? Etc.?

What about theaters and concerts?

Charlotte is trash, the amount of violence, car break ends, armed robbery, bad traffic. It’s not a good place to raise children, the school system produces seniors who only read on a 5th grade level.

1:08 that is so weird man I heard this recently and never would’ve thought!

Irvine CA is BY FAR my personal top pick 🥺

I wish I found this channel before I moved here!

I work in Charlotte. The traffic is no joke!!!

Im a NC newby from Vegas, I live in Ballantyne and love it! I havent found the need to go uptown etc everything either here or next to here and the schools are excellent, if we could get rid of the humidity and bugs it be paradise, your channel is very helpful and your videos are great glad I found you, Im passing you on to fam that are coming.

Hello! Planning to move to Mooresville area, do you have snow there?

Ok I see all the Buffalonians are in the chat. I’m looking to move from Buffalo to Charlotte soon and sooo excited!

Go home. All of you. Just go back to wherever you came from. Anything that you’re complaining about, YOU BROUGHT it here. Charlotte was cool before you got here, which is why you wanted to come.

I'm trying to get down there around February. I like the information from this video. Definitely sub'd.

That’s how people drive in Chicago

I moved to Charlotte in 1980 to 1989 I didn’t like it then but the older I get the more I visit I can see me there one day
