Bland and Boring

I don’t see how Raleigh makes the top best places to live lists. The people are funny acting and job market is only great if you are in IT or Medical/biotech field. Cost of living is rising, if you make less than $80k as a single or $160k as a family you better have a side hustle (e.g: Uber, Lyft, side business) if you don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck.
There isn’t much to do outside bars and restaurants on Glenwood south/North Hills. Outside of those areas Raleigh is bland suburbia. Raleigh is not a city! There is no aquarium, zoo, theme parks, or decent museums. You are paying city cost of living without all the big city amenities.
People act the same, very cliquey, dress alike, and drive the same type of vehicles. Raleigh is full of basic bros/gals with no individual character or personality.
If you want true city life, this is not the place for you. Move to Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Austin, or Miami for a true southern city with lots of things to do besides bars and restaurants.
