I am from CA and purchased property near Lake Norman for near-future retirement. CA offers 105+ degree temperatures with brown hills from June thru Sept. Basically only get 2 seasons: Summer/Winter.

Could it be for the good paying bank jobs, or the real estate market with steadily increasing property values, or the lower crime, cleaner environment or lower cost of living relative to other (especially Northern) cities? If you don't like it, please call 411 for the number of the local U-Haul. No, Charlotte is not New York City....or Los Angeles...or Washington DC, and I for one hope it never will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-11461059640484113092007-04-12T14:09:00.000-05:002007-04-12T14:09:00.000-05:00I agree.

Maybe if we planted flowers in run down neighborhoods this will lower crime !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
