- Charlotte North Carolina is on many peoples radar for their dream city to relocate to BUT that dream can quickly become a nightmare....
When you compare Charlotte, NC harsh and humid weather, increasing cost of living due to so many transplants, and a transportation system thats rank one of the worst in the United States. This could be a huge deal breaker for some people! Lets dive a bit deeper on what keeps people up a night about the City of Charlotte North Carolina.

Charlotte is tearing down trees, what it is known for. The food sucks, transportation is not the greatest. Two lane roads unfortunately not great for all the building. Water and sewer is an issue. Schools are overcrowded. They have had about four superintendents for their school within past 10 years. I moved for the trees and it is turning into a concrete jungle.
You know you can always go back to where you moved from. It’s always the non-Charlotteans complaining about Charlotte.
I'm a native and I complain now because it is definitely getting worse imo.
Your moving here is the reason it's turning into what you are complaining about. We been full but ppl keep on coming
@christinem.1859 I'm a Charlotte native and I fckn hate what Charlotte has become. Plantees have helped kill the Charlotte culture and now the city lacks solid identity and its one goofy ass trend after another. Rude drivers, rude store clerks, rude consumers in the stores, and a bunch of racial redlining and tensions of a civil war brewing! This is not the city I was born and raised in! They've torn down everything that means anything except NODA and he'll even that feels like a novelty version of what it use to be before gentrification. We never needed that shifty light rail either. You're mistaking. There are thousands of Charlotteans who despise this new shit.
wow debbie downer! Im sure there are a few positives.
The only way I would tell anyone not to move here is because we are getting overcrowded with people who aren’t from here. Every state fluctuates in cost of living, food etc based on the economy. However, Charlotte is getting way too crowded and all of the other mess we have to deal with comes from the outsiders moving in.
And it's sad that this migration is happening to many states and the indigenous ppl are frustrated by it.
@@beekind6267 As indigenous people should be. They need to keep their behinds in their own state.
@@christinem.1859 well, that's where I'm staying bcuz the grass isn't always greener. And I hate my state by the way. Lol
Agreed
Please don't move to Charlotte, ppl here can't drive, there are 100 times more apartments than streets, and somebody is getting unalived every day
I love your videos, bro. Im always suprised that you only have 177 subscribers, keep doing it, cuz you deserve 100000, and you are ready!
Most appreciated, thank you so much !
This was spot on. Many of the drivers here go either 10 miles an hour below the limit or straight out pedal to the metal.
That's everywhere, lol
As a Charlottean it saddened to see how this city is becoming. People seem to forget that this is the Carolinas Charlotte was never meant to have transportation like up north and believe me the transportation has gotten a whole lot better since we used to have only city busses and cabs that you had to call to pick you up. Believe me when I say the busses never ran in so many places as it do now. I remember taking the bus to get off and still have to walk 5 miles to get where I'm going. Far as the driving please stop driving like y'all still up north! Believe me I lived in Massachusetts for about 5 years and when I came back to Charlotte I had to remind myself I wasn't up north and bring it back down 😂. The crime rate has increased so high due to poverty. It's sad because Charlotte is so greedy for money building apartments and neighborhoods in every corner raising the price up for rent. Forcing people out of their homes that they have owned for decades by raising the property taxes and building homes in their neighborhood. Nothing in Charlotte is real anymore they have completely erased history. I stop driving downtown Charlotte because it damn near takes a hour to get to my location back in the day it only took me about ten minutes to get from the East side to the West side! I miss the Old Charlotte 😪
SWEA
Nah I'm from NY and the driving here is different. NY isn't even this bad smh
No people can't drive here. They don't use signals at all. They pull directly in front of you and slow down because they want you to crash into the back of them so they can get insurance money. They also travel below the speed limit on back roads again on purpose.
And they also run through red lights so I would suggest when your light turns green don’t be so quick to go because people down here aren’t so quick to stop at a red light. For some reason they think that just because the light has just turned red they have time to run through it!!!! Never seen anything like this in my life!!!
Life long NC resident born and raised. I live about an hour from Charlotte. NC is a red state with a few cities that lean liberal but not by much. Anyone coming from a northern liberal city will quickly find that Charlotte doesn't fit that liberal bill. It is a southern city in a conservative state and my guess is that the current political leadership in the city will swing back to Republican as in the former mayor Pat McCory days. Folks are getting very weary of the shootings and other crime there.
Folks here know where the crime areas are located which is everywhere if you not careful and to be honest the transitional values is what makes our state great! And folks are fine in Charlotte NC WHite folks love the beer and we all get along looking after our neighbors!
, but isn't the economy supposed to be better and fair for everyone while under a Republican Administration?
Best comment you win
🏆
Yes I agree Charlotte native here all my life, never moved..but the city is too much for me now.
Overcrowded, traffic horrible on Saturday mornings, geez!!! Listen, I know it’s crime everywhere but this ain’t what I’m use too and it saddens me.
Y’all doing too much!!!
We like peace here!! We choose to find away to get along with our neighbors. Anyways, be blessed stick with God and go from glory to glory 🙏🏽
@@childofElROI07 you too
Charlotte isa solid Democratic city. There are no Republicans in the City Council.
Support from PA, keep going. I love the content of Charlotte NC. I did visit Charlotte and it was lovely experience.
I moved here from Philly in 1997. I was only 26 and didn't know anyone here. Living here was alot better than dodging bullets. There's not much to do here after 10pm. The fire ants hurt like hell. Your right about non drivers here. There's always an accident when it rains. Other than that, it's better than alot of places I've seen.
And it's a city where it's hard to find good friends, been here since 2010 off, and on after college I'm moving
@Lanet-ol6fb You're definitely right about the friendships here. I ran into a lot of fake people here. They try to be something that their not.
@GeronimoLives Yeap !!! Their weird, too ...
@@Lanet-ol6fb Same experience with friends. Went to High School here and graduated 2015, just moved back here during the pandemic. There’s a lot of fake passive aggressive people in this city and cliquish behavior. You’d have to go outside the city to find true southern hospitality since the average Charlotte person is weird and stuck up even if they’re ghetto.
I moved to Salisbury and moved back to nyc. But bow I’m looking to move back, in particular east Charlotte. Hoping for the best in the financial industry and our son in tech.
Awwww man. I’m a native New Yorker too. Been in Charlotte about 20 years. It’s been great. Make sure you take time to travel back home & get your NYC fix. Close proximity (3 hours) from the beach, Atlanta, Hilton Head, great weather, gorgeous neighborhoods, plenty to do, summer concerts, competitive housing prices. Buy a property & rent it out! Lots of opportunity.
@@irinadavid6107 Hey!!!! Yes, we would usually do exactly that. A slice of pizza, ride the train, and go to the city. But so much has changed here in NYC that I’m almost ready to run outta of here....lol!
@@busichanel4934 I watch NYC news every day. Unbelievable. I completely understand.
I just think Charlotte and Atlanta are super over rated.....I pick Charlotte over Atlanta but Charlotte is trying to catch up to it's population growth...
The city of Charlotte population is twice the size of the city of Atlanta look it up. Atlanta metro is bigger
@@antwilsonwilsoncharlotte still can’t compare to Atl
@@MrLdevelleshiiid come visit you’ll see we the shit.
The population of Charlotte's city limits is higher than Atlanta, and second to Jacksonville, FL in the southeast.
Wow..$1800 to $2000 rental in Charlotte?? 😂that city doesnt pop enough to pay that much money for rent
$1800 to $2000 is not a lot depending on where you live in the city and how much space you’re getting.
@@christinem.1859definitely too much for chlt
It's just greed
I pay $1550 and live in a nice 1bdr right in uptown. Like, walking distance (
Stop moving here we full.... since folks from everywhere start moving here prices gone up trees getting cut down
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop 🛑 coming here!! Please pass Charlotte move to Atlanta!
@@childofElROI07while I will never move to Charlotte or north Carolina period...Georgia is def not the move either. 🤣🤣🤣
Then don’t….we don’t want you here. Bye! We fine!👋🏾
@@lisbeth6911 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys are rude. People can, do, and will move where they please.
In lived in Charlotte from 1993 to 2002. The crime problem was a well-kept secret then.
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.
Relocated to Charlotte from B.K. N.Y.C. two years ago. Best thing I ever did. Yes it depends on your situation, but it’s ..heaven compared to New York. Brother you hit on some good points, but in my opinion they’re not major issues. Especially considering what’s going on in N.Y. with the migrant situation.🤔
I'm in Gastonia and I saw a flying Roach after rainy times.
I’m a Charlotte naive born and raised and Gas House neighbor you are lying Charlotte has never had flying roaches… now water bugs and mosquitoes and stank bugs but no flying roaches CAP
Flying roachers are here@@GorgeousLane
@@randolphdukes5383 never seen them and I’m from Beatties Ford and still never seen that type of insect …you must of been in the Trap somewhere 🤣🤣🤣 Trust me world Charlotte nc doesn’t have flying roaches !!! So you got it…. You win 🥇 lol
@@GorgeousLane
I was born in Plaza Midwood. The flying cockroaches are real. I’ve been seeing them since I was at least 13 and I’m in my 40’s now.
@@adbc1f72 woooo girl God Bless You I have never seen but Lord Jesus nahhhh
People move where the jobs are. Charlotte is a great city to live in. All are Welcome 😊
I moved here frthe DMV 6 months ago ,,, Chlt is a nice place to live,,just be prepared for a ‘ distinct culture “ relative to the N C scene ..yes there’s lots to do and lots of diversity here..but it still has the internal layer of a Southern North Carolina feel,,,it may or may not change in the future ..The city has a long way to go in catching up to a
Liberal ..northern city vibe …also if you are not “ a city “driver ,, then please don’t drive around Chlt ,, definitely Aa different driving vibe lots of trucks and impatient drivers here
How would you compare it to a place like Dallas?
Charlotte will never be a northern liberal vibe this is the southern hospitality state not NY or Miami we country!
@@GorgeousLaneright! They need to move on then.
Moved there years ago for a bit, 2 weeks in, someone broke into my out door storage and stole all my lawn equipment and mower. F**k that place.
Stop telling people to move to Charlotte. We are closed. Charlotte already has enough people.. all these new people are causing more traffic & higher taxes. Please go too South Carolina. They have plenty of land. Just keep straight.
😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭 I need to take a visit, I lived up and down the east coast, and never thought about CLT, but now I need to take a visit just for you!!!!!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😎
😂😂😂Just keep straight!
Charlotte is dirty. No one cares about it. People realize it after a couple years of living then leave. It’s for the poor. Keep it.
😂I'll stay in the Northeast....alot of major cities within driving distance approx 4 hrs or less...no more than 6hrs.
You have to go on a day of just driving so you can learn back roads. I moved here from NY in 1990. I moved out to Rock Hill SC 13 miles away, I guess that would be suburbs. If you work remotely it works great.
I do wanna give you your credit. This is a good video.
I have been living in Charlotte for about 16 years. I would like to leave a comment about the transportation. The transportation is set up just for those areas that you say are walkable. The people that are building the infrastructure are extremely racist. That is why the area you said are walkable. They moved all the people with melon it out. They are rebuilding the city for only a certain kind of people to live here and thrive. If they rebuild the infrastructure to make sense for all, this would be the perfect city to grow old and raise your family or just live your life in.
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.
Let’s get it!!
Transportation in Charlotte sucks a lot of areas in Charlotte don’t have sidewalks street lights.
Charlotte is closed. Go home.
Don’t worry we not coming
Dallas Texas here!
Number 218 subscriber here 🙌🏾
Compared to Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Chicago and New York , Charlotte Nc doesn’t have any crime🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
DON’T MOVE HERE! I moved from DC b/c my family is here but if you have no friends or family stay where you are! Trust me…you’ll be lonely and broke/in debt if you don’t make over $120K minimum. 😅
Damn, that's the average for folk living in the DMV and its way more expensive here than CLT, or so I thought ?
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
I work in Charlotte. The traffic is no joke!!!
Very truee
I want to move to Charlotte NC on the south end of Charlotte though.
Crime will expand every where there is growth. This is not new or surprising.
It's turning into another new Atlanta
Good info👌👌
Thanks
My guy... How do I get in touch with you?
Send me an email or text
I was in Charlotte for 24 hours.. i got word of the city's degradation by a couple of people, but when i went to a Walgreens & saw EVERYTHING behind plastic locks, I left.. sad. Just don't go there
get to the point please 🙏
How much salary do you think is good enough for one person?
To be a homeowner $140k
@@TrevorJacksonTV what about renting?
$75-80k to live decent ❤
@@Malligue 80k
You need minimum of $120K and you’ll still be struggling. Charlotte ain’t cheap forget what you heard.
Household income after or before taxes? Wife and I make about 85k after taxes is that okay?
Yea your going to be my relator I am ready
Let’s do it!!
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😂😂😂
Bro you jacking Ryan Clark! That's crazy😂😂
I'm coming from Atlanta. It's hoter than Atlanta Georgia. And it's cold 🥶 still
That’s because they’re cutting down all the tree cover. So it’s going to be hotter than hell.
Nope nope stay where you are. Charlotte is full, we don't have anymore space.
Came here from your Buffalo videos
Its alot of outsiders in charlotte. Its probably only 40% or less natives that are still here
Uptown Charlotte is way to expensive the surrounding areas are a little cheaper not much more but its cheaper
Hmm come to the outside parts in Charlotte the country parts.. we have bears foxes bobcats
That’s in every cities outskirts.
Have to be careful no matter where you go lol
Lol they can't drive in their own lane
Isn't that thumbnail actually Raleigh or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
My mother is from charlotte
If you move here you will need a CCW
forget it bro
well let me say this ..not sure what value you can have other than what it is like for your state to this state, you can't speak for Charlotte you are new here... and people from New J and New Y pretty much messed up so much for the people already living here..form health to housing process.. ..hopefully people can find there way that best going to work for them ..IJS
That's why I love kannapolis😂😂😂 I swear there's an accident every day heading towards Charlotte it never fails + it's not always your fault there's a lot of people that literally can't drive they'll hit you if you ain't careful because they're not careful so please be careful😂😂
Funny…..what city in the summer is not hot or have mosquitoes?
Today in charlotte you better be earning 100k if you want home purchase here…or have big down payment with no debt.
Bottom line Charlotte is not cheap…..think long and hard before you come.
I’m one of the lucky ones who purchased before the market went crazy….and yes I grabbed the just under 3percent interest rate.
Yo D u living in Charlotte?
Man I was born and raised in Charlotte and I moved out 3 years ago $$?
Of the 5,824 vehicle thefts 4,000 were Kia’s I bet
1800 or 2000 for a LUXURY 1 bedroom apartment in South Park. Charlotte getting expensive yes. But tell the entire story. It Gets that high only for LUXURY units. I currently live in South Park Charlotte right across the street from the mall. I live in a 1 bedroom for 1850. But its a luxury unit. I have all the amenities. I just moved here from Boston Ma.
❤Subscribed❤
And the way everyone drives there car there!? Boi !!! Satan's hwy
Lol…you are absolutely right. When I stop at a red light, it never fails at least one car will speed right through it as if it’s still green.
Hot but not like Miami 😂
Ok i won't
Don't move to North Carolina period!!!
Y'all state don't say that too the outside investments.....So y'all is Cap
I will move charlotte regardless of what you say
Is charlotte nc very black?
I sure have a lot of white neighbors peeking out the window.
I hope so :)
Yes. Charlotte has a very mixed culture and the bad neighborhoods are being bought and cleaned up fast.
About 1/3 of the population
Educated, smart, and love being black! No seriously, inky someone ignorant would say that. Our neighbors are ALL OF DIFFERENT RACES AND WE GET ALONG AND HAVE EACHOTHERS BACK! NOOOOO ISSUES
I'm a single mum looking to buy in Gastonia
Charlotte is a sleeper city 🏙️, just as Des Moines Iowa
can you recommend areas for single black women
I’m looking into North Carolina or Colorado
Nice, what is the hesitation?
Colorado…Charlotte is full 😅

The reason the crime is so bad is because the riff raff has came along.Gangs,Troublemakers that are running and do their dirt down here then run back to where they come from.I loved Charlotte when didnt anyone know where we were.Pleaae stay where you are
