Still a S____hole.
I wrote a review of Charlotte several years back, and decided to write how things how gotten here since that time. In one word.....definitely WORSE. People come here seeing how beautiful and clean it is, but stay here a while, and you will get the true feel. Crime is soaring out of control with a record number of murders this year. There are shootings nearly everyday; even in "safe uptown". The traffic is even more congested, people drive like they're the only ones on the road, Charlotte has been rated #12 in the nation for aggressive drivers. Roads are even more torn up, even more random road closings. No improvement in the transit system; buses and even the trains will randomly have "technical difficulties" and just cancel routes. School system is still horrid, and all this town cares about is getting in more and more people than the roads, schools, hospitals, police and fire departments can support. Oh, but your tax dollars are going to build another stadium. If there is ANY bad publicity about the town, it is swept under the rug; negative news stories and youtube videos (think about the riots) are removed from the internet. It is NOT what it is cracked up to be, and it is NOT a good choice as far as moving here. Property taxes are soaring, with new assessments made in 2018 with people seeing increases in their property taxes as much as 60%. It may make the lists of "best places to live" but trust me as a resident for close to three decades. I KNOW what I'm talking about. Trust me on this one.....find someplace else, because that's what I'm doing as soon as I can.
