Charlotte, NC
Relocating from California -
6/15/2010I am contemplating Charlotte as one of a couple of cities I am considering relocating to. I have read many of the postings on this site. My specific search is for an area that is; Close to public transportation that is handicapped accessible,that has nearby supermarkets/shopping, fairly close to Center City, and that has safe affordable housing((condo or apartment)up to 650mo.
I am single,have a vehicle but prefer to use wheelchair,no children,just seeking a decent place with nearby shopping,churches,and access to entertainment and sporting events.
All suggestions appreciated!

Sacramento, CA
Nice city, interesting demeanor -
6/15/2010I have lived in all regions of the country as a military dependent, so my opinion of Sacramento is based on comparisons of similar cities.I have lived in Sacramento 12 years.
Positives; It is a clean,nicely situated city between the Bay Area and Reno/Tahoe,between the ocean and the mountains. It is one of the most diverse cities in the country.It is a city for active people with bike paths and walking trails through out the city and along the rives. Overall Sacramento is a nice city,in a generic vanilla sort of way.
Negatives; It is definitely a country city, with mild "redneck" leanings, even though Sacramento elected an African American mayor.It is not a progressive city thus such nicknames as Cowtown,the Big Sacratamato and the Big Easy.....Chair.It is more of a minor league city,home of the RiverCats and at this time the NBA Kings,which the voters don't seem to want to pay to keep.The city has outstanding restaurants though in the best of Sacramento many chain restaurants top the lists.
Sacramento is a nice,generic city a good place to thrive....I mean,yawn, exist.
