Just Say NO!!!!!
Star Rating - 12/4/2018
First of all, there is NO MORE SPACE HERE!!!!!!! Unless you want to deal with constant 24/7 gridlock traffic, especially when there’s an accident or it’s raining, then Charleston is just not the place!!When I say Charleston, I’m talking all the surrounding areas as well (i.e. North Charleston, Mount Pleasant (which is not so pleasant by the way, West Ashley, Johns Island, James Island, Daniel Island (lots of snooty, stuck up and wealthy babies!), Summerville, Goose Creek, etc), as these are ALL Charleston. They are part of what is better known as “The Lowcountry.”Statistically, over 50 families move to Charleston a day (where the hell are they living?!), the infrastructure is already 20 years too late (you can thank the good ole boy system for that!), there is not much to do when it comes to truly fun exciting things regularly (unless you consider that drinking, partying and overpriced movies), the job market salaries are way below average (unless you happen to be a doctor), and the quality of life is only good if you’re here with a purpose (i.e. raise a family).

it's like that everywhere... i can tell you charleston has way less traffic than a lot of places, it's just a lot of traffic compared to how it used to be but.. its not 'back then' anymore. i don't get how people don't realize this. every city sucks now, there's too many people period. so you have to speak from where we are, not where we were. this review is so inaccurate because it isn't taking that into account.
