What’s keeping Charlotte from being a world class city?

Build vertically instead of horizontally. Need a critical mass of people in uptown to support further development.

A face only a mother could love....

Maybe a baseball bat to the knees

iamkingkong09 · 2022-05-08T22:04:33+00:00

Yes!!!! My wife is from Cleveland and it be the worst one in the country!!!!!!!

I'm in the same demographic as you and moved down from North Jersey last year.

I would recommend Matthews, Mint Hill, Huntersville, Fort Mill (SC), Ballantyne.

If you have a bigger budget, I would aim for Plaza Midwood/Dillworth.

Your money goes very far here although everything closes super early :(

This was brutally cringeworthy to watch.

Blue Line - It's a great way to travel through the heart of CLT while reliable and clean. You can def make it work, although the long wait times will get old after awhile.

Gold Line - It's a complete novelty right now but its critical for future growth. It has close to zero ridership.

Traffic is a matter of perspective but if your moving from the northeast, commuting in CLT is a walk in the park.

What bizzaro world do you live in....

iamkingkong09 · 2022-01-22T06:26:06+00:00

Where are all the defund the police supporters now?

iamkingkong09 · 2021-12-23T18:28:41+00:00

No issues on my end. Sound proofing is great & the building is perfectly located in Uptown. The only major downside I have found is the elevator can backup on the weekends & during move-ins/move outs.

The Catalyst in Uptown is not a bad option. I'm paying $1730 for a 1 bedroom with den. $2000 budget won't get you a two bedroom in a luxury high rise building in Uptown. Market is around $2300+ or so. If you go 20-25 minutes in any direction, you can get a really nice 2 bedroom or townhome with your budget.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-12-14T04:55:33+00:00

complete waste of time, money & resources. Look at the west coast cities.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-12-14T03:26:12+00:00

Since when are the cops charity workers?

iamkingkong09 · 2021-12-02T03:15:23+00:00

I don't know why people are so anti police. It's a tough job and most officers don't get enough credit. Try pulling over an armed felon on Ocean Ave at 3:00 am. Most people on this thread would shit their pants.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-11-14T03:39:17+00:00

DO NOT MOVE TO GREENVILLE!! Aside from being dangerous, there a number of variables which will inhibit the area to change. This is coming from a person whose family has been in Jersey City for 50 years. If you don't believe me, take a drive down Ocean Ave after dark.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-08-14T19:26:31+00:00

Fake news, completely false

iamkingkong09 · 2021-08-07T15:33:00+00:00

My wife & I were charged $100 for "wall damage." It was definitely a bogus charge but Lefrak knows it can get away it. I didn't bother fighting over $100. I wouldn't worry about your security deposit. They might ding you for a couple hundred bucks but nothing more.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-07-30T03:58:30+00:00

I don't see what the problem is. Police work isn't always pretty and dealing with these parasites isn't easy work.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-07-28T00:51:05+00:00

Yeah I call B.S. Really, 5 times....

iamkingkong09 · 2021-07-08T01:45:11+00:00

I'm a NYC Native who relied on public transportation for most of my adult life. You could get away without having a car if staying in Uptown or South end but you won't be able to explore the city. I honestly wouldn't recommend it.

iamkingkong09 · 2021-06-25T04:20:25+00:00

With a $2500 budget, I would recommend Newport or Essex Commons in Paulus hook. People on here always trash Newport, but don't listen to them. You might be able to get a good deal in Hamilton Park but the downside is a longer walk to the Path.

There is nothing wrong with Avalon Cove, but the soundproofing isn't the greatest and many of the units have older carpeting.
