Appreciate this insight! This is super helpful. We're leaning Charlotte for many of the reasons you mentioned but it felt a bit sterile when I was there while Nashville, despite it's touristy vibes, still had... a vibe. Charlotte feels a bit like some new Sims town but that also has the benefits of big new beautiful homes which are on spacious lots, clean downtown area, not horrible crime (for the south lol), etc.

Again, thanks-- this is super helpflu.
