I will say this about Charlotte, it still has a long way to go in order to catch up to bigger cities. I see it being a bigger problem than what people claim Atlanta to be in the next 2-3 years. It's growing too fast for its own good and things are already getting too high there for the ones who were there before it grew. Public transportation sucks there as well and it's hard as hell to get an apartment there. The job market is overrated there as well. It's not as prosperous as much as people think it is.
You got people paying over $1100 month for a studio apartment.
The roads look like one big construction site.
