Review of Charlotte, North Carolina


Super Sprawl City
Star Rating - 3/29/2021
Super Sprawl city. Very clean, racially diverse, and appears economically strong. The downtown area is unbelievably small for a 800,000+ population size city. Compared to Seattle or Portland, Charlotte feels like a super suburb instead of an urban city. Oh, and on the weekends you can't even enjoy a drink out because all you hear is guys in their muscle cars reving their V8 engines or on their motorcycles to show off to pedestrians. On the plus side, very clean, not a lot of visible homelessness, and has a decent amount of amenities. If you're thinking of moving here, go visit first. On paper Charlotte might seem promising but for me at least it's a no-go.

We have the same problem with the revving engines here in San Diego and other CA cities. Obviously a lot of insecure guys trying to compensate for various shortcomings. Hi

We have the same problem with revving engines here in San Diego and other CA cities. And the cops do nothing. Too many I secure guys publicly compensating for their shortcomings.
