N.C. is not a good place to live if you have to wo - 12/8/2010
I have lived in N.C. all my life.Unfortunatly stuck here because of my wife who refuses to move to a better state. N.C. is a slave state always has been always will be. We have some of the lowest wages and some of the highest taxes in the country, so if you want to accumulate wealth forget N.C. That is why we have third world property prices. The only Thing N.C. is good for is retirement. N.C. use to be a lot better back 20 to 30 years ago. Back when they didn't have zonning. If you didn't want to work for slave wages all you had to do was go right out side of town and buy a cheap building lot and build a store or service station or any kind of business and you would do well, now however with zonning the local governments have effectivly blocked most people from going into business for themselves. Now you have to buy in a special zonning district set up for business and pay a half million dollars for the lot then another quarter of a milliion for the building. Most people are bankrupt

North Carolina: Three in One - 8/3/2010
I've lived in NC for over 20 years. One the best things about this state is that you have a choice of three different environments in which to live. You have the coastal areas, the city, and the mountains. Not too many states can boast that fact. Also, because of its location in the U.S., NC doesn't really have the extreme weather conditions of a more northern state (very cold winters) or a more southern state (very hot and humid summers). The climate is fairly moderate year round.

loss of jobs over seas - 8/30/2009
Why aren't there more jobs coming to New Bern and its surrounding areas such as Carteret, Jones, and Pamilico Counties like any other cities and counties in North Carolina? Why are there not any high paying jobs in those areas? I see people are moving in but hardly no jobs to support them, why? Why is New Bern more of a tourist attraction and not just a city where natives need
