I've been here for a year and although it's not a bad place to live overall, think twice, maybe think 10 or 20 times before you drag your family and everything you own out here to find out that NC has some of the highest state income taxes in the country. Also the food bill is horrible out here! Traffic, well that is just what happens in any city as it starts it's growing pains, it simply can't be helped.
The only thing I really dislike out here is the high taxes and you get zip for them! Bad roads and thank God I have no kids cause you get bad schools as well. I don't have a clue what NC is doing with all this money but I can assure you, you get nothing in return for paying 8.25% income tax and another 7% sales tax.. I'm seriously thinking about moving back home to Texas where at least you aren't taken to the cleaners when you buy a house or pick up your paycheck.
Movers beware! Think, think, and think some more before you throw away $1000's to move here nad then throw away $1000's more on a state income tax that gives you nothing in return. If I didn't have such an awesome job here, I'd have already gone back home to Texas..
