feedback on Cary for K
-
2/16/2006
K---pros: Cary is one of the safest communities in the U.S., it is clean, it is suburbia, lots of trees and well manicured vegetation, great outdoor ampitheatre, charming downtown, good schools, close to Raleigh for more cultural options, should have no trouble finding work--lots of jobs--would guess that distribution would not be a problem---lots of job and population growth, guessing it is largely Republican. Housing in the area has not yet spun out of control although Cary is pricey for the area. Lots of strict building restrictions. Weather is mild but humid in Summer--wind rarely blows. trees give it a "bug in a rug" feel. Great Parks and greenway system. Streets well maintained and wide. Good dining options. great golf courses.
Cons: Some traffic congestion in shopping areas and interstate commutes, area hard to navigate initially (i.e. confusing) because all buildings and blocks look the same (not a grid either), it is white and wealthy in general. Lots of franchises but signs are limited to minimize gaudiness. No billbords. Heard it lacks a sense of community but if you have children that may be your connection. Cary is a southern acronym for "containment area for retired yankees"
