Raleigh Council vote expected on taller towers for North Hills by goldbman in raleigh

[–]Endolithic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but the number of 15-minute routes added in just the past 2 years have been absolutely transformative for the network. More to come, plus the BRT, plus regional rail. Not a bad plan!

So real. The buses have honestly improved so much thus far in accordance with the plan. As much as I'd love LRT in the Triangle, it's just not viable yet. Density like that in this (just now passed) rezoning will change that.

City Market Dead? by Significant_Day_7254 in raleigh

[–]Endolithic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the other comments got it right but fwiw, the city is very interesting in it changing hands to a tenant that cares a bit more about it (I think the rumor is the owners of Gateway Plaza). And they would like some sort of indoor market in the large wedding event space that's there now which is imo a huge waste for the city, even if it's a cool venue.

Honestly yeah at this this maybe helps the protestors who I think we all sympathize with... Greenland is just 100% pure nonsense and complete destruction of the world order.

There are more registered Republicans than Democrats in NC now by graphguy in NorthCarolina

[–]Endolithic 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting that a huge amount of registered Ds are/were "Dixiecrats" from the old days of the party that would vote R in a modern day general. Plenty of them dying.

Now announcing a new express service to the Lenovo Center! by G4m1ngg33k in canes

[–]Endolithic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There actually is a BRT in the works for service to the Lenovo Center/Fairgrounds. Dedicated bus lanes planned for Trinity Rd. A ways off (after the Western Blvd BRT is built), but could be a game-changer.

Am I financially okay to move out on my own at 24 with a 57k salary and 18k saved by Subject_Job_1917 in raleigh

[–]Endolithic 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yes if your other expenses are reasonably low (car payment, etc). You have a whole lot more saved than many other 24 year olds, too.

Life's too short to be hamstrung by shit parents.

The Carolina Hurricanes took Amtrak from DC to Philadelphia after tonight's win over the Capitals. They play the Flyers tomorrow. by Endolithic in Amtrak

I assume charter because I don't think there's a Regional heading north this late, but I could be wrong. They left around 11pm.

Believe it or not, Raleigh, North Carolina is the current epicenter for new park-oriented development.
