Why You Should Never Move To Charlotte NC in 2023 - Not The Best Place

- Charlotte, North Carolina is NOT the best place to live in 2023. They overbuilt apartments and houses after Covid hoping people would move here but growth was slower than expected... and now they have thousands of empty units to fill and can't find buyers or renters. They are hoping that by labelling and promoting this city as "The Best Place To Move To In 2023"
I've lived in Charlotte since 2003 and I must say that it is GREAT PLACE!!! I've always felt safe, the greenways are fabulous, the weather is great, the cost of living is great when you compare it to the northern states, it is close to the mountains, the beaches and other major cities like Atlanta ... it has a great airport that has direct flights to london, italy and paris... I think this guy is biased and critical toward charlotte for some unknown reason... he has obviously not gone to Huntersville, Ballantyne, Harrisburg, etc... this guy is CRAZY
I totally agree, thank you!
I absolutely miss the green ways
That's all this guy does; he makes videos of how horrible places are, yet he actively always searches out these areas that are shady. He has videos like "the real streets of..." and it's complete b.s. He did a video about how "dangerous" CLT was, he went trying to find the shadiest areas and then when he found it and some guy approached him saying "excuse me", he put his car in reverse and flew out of there and then claimed this guy was going to murder him. So, yeah this dude really never knows what the hell he's doing or talking about or actually KNOWS what dangerous areas are.
Right. Charlotte is a beautiful city
He’s not crazy. Chlt has become totally overrated. I lived there since early 2000’s . They only show uptown area which is totally expensive. They don’t show the many hoods it has.
Every city in America has issues.
Literally I’m so tired of these videos at this point lol
Fiat currency
Umm, yes, definitely true, but Charlotte is terrible! I lived in Gaston County for 24 years, went to Charlotte many times, almost every SINGLE NIGHT on the news, the West side had a murder case! It’s definitely a shit hole!😅
This is why I want to leave and can leave haha
@@Viewsfromjoedon’t watch it 🤷🏿♂️
the video showed all the low-income neighbors in Charlotte. Which is not the best narrative. Charlotte is so much more than the areas that were shown.
Exactly
Thank you
Like where ? Uptown and Noda ? Y’all be gassing them neighborhoods like hell
These are the areas that most can afford. So, he is right.
As someone who has lived in the Charlotte area for 11 years and lived all over the US and other countries, I respect your opinion based on the few days you were here. I agree with you that the city has developed some negative aspects through the years like many high growth cities have and has now pushed Carolina natives like myself to nearby towns. To those seeking to move to Charlotte, I suggest looking into Concord, Fort Mill SC, and if you can afford it, the Ballantyne, Myers Park, Steele Creek, Elizabeth, and Dilworth areas are great places. I suggest you take Jose’s view with a grain of salt, much like the Forbes, Zillow, etc biased top 10 articles it’s all ill informed content coming from sources that have little to no validity. Though as this source suggests, try renting first, I’d say at least a year, then deciding if Charlotte or any city is right for you. Wherever you’re from, you’ll always be welcomed at Charlotte!
As someone that has lived in the Fort Mill/Rock Hill SC area his whole life, I can't disagree more with that sentiment of looking into living in the area. Even today, the infrastructure (Roads, power, plumbing, sewage) is not ready to handle the kind of influx that is already affecting the Charlotte Meck area. Just using the roads alone as an example, every exit on I-77 from mile marker 77 to the NC state line sees some of the worst congestion at the morning and afternoon hours I've ever witnessed in SC outside of the Columbia and Charleston areas. I'm not trying to be a NIMBY or someone trying to keep new people out of their home town, but I do see the real problem that is the overcrowding of these places because of the marketing to get people to move to Charlotte, and I also see it as a problem that people who have lived here their whole lives being priced out of their own towns because of the marketing causing property prices to skyrocket in the last few years here.
That being said, Charlotte does have stuff to offer other than just being an over-saturated corporate banking city. It's got its good neighborhoods and it's bad, but even then you can easily discern them from each other and know where to go to experience the good places that Charlotte has to offer.
Having lived in Charlotte for a couple years and living all over North Carolina the past 10 years I can confirm that Charlotte is a good place to live. There's a reason it's one of the fastest growing metros in the country. It's not perfect and there are growing pains that come with a fast growing metro. Charlotte as a whole has very nice areas and very nice suburbs. It has its problem areas too just like any major metropolitan area. But you don't have to take random publications word for it. Look into the data yourself. The economy is growing. Jobs are growing. People are moving there in droves. I would highly suggest anyone that is seriously considering moving there to do their own research and take a trip. Don't read a bunch of articles and watch a bunch of RUclips videos. Actually go and feel the place out for yourself. Charlotte has many nice areas and you just need to go and see them for yourself.
Yea i love Charlotte
Exact same with Nashville ,Dallas ,and Houston what's happening in Charlotte is happening in every southern city across america. Explosive population growth.only cities that are probably not growing as much is New Orleans, Oklahoma City, and little rock, Jackson, Birmingham. I'm from Houston and the crowded population is insane.
@@chipwilliams6236 I was thinking about moving to houston. Okc housing is very affordable though
Where is the best place to stay in Charlotte for families that’s luxurious??? Yea I know this guy is over exaggerating..
@@user-de9uc3py4d The increase in housing costs including rent is not exclusive to Charlotte It is happening in every growing metro area in this country. It's a nationwide crisis that needs to be addressed. But any nice area that you might be interested in living is going to have skyrocketing rent prices. Near the beach or not. It's not an issue with Charlotte specifically
I will be moving to Charlotte from New Jersey at the end of this year and this video is comical to me. Crime filled 😂 I live 30 min from NYC and work in NYC. I've been to truly violent areas in NYC I don't believe this guy at all. This is click bait. We don't need this kind of information. DO BETTER DUDE. COME WITH HARD DATA 🙄
Greetings, I'm NJ transplant here. You will save considerable $$$ per month on the rent, but it is very, very hard to get used to. I stated above there is no southern charm, hospitality, etc. The locals seem sullen, unfriendly, unhappy, non-communicative, passive-aggressive and with limited conversational skills. When you meetup with 'Southern Karen's' you will know who they are. Do try and live here first, somehow and see the suburbs as well as the City. Crime has not been an issue for me, but I chose a safe area.
I'm from Brooklyn and I lived in Newark and other places. CLT is very mild as far as crime it depends on where you live. The places he was driving around you may have a problem lol 😮
Jose, you have my respect for being so sincere and provide such good information even if many do not like it. I have subscribed to your channel and I am watching your other videos too, if you keep it up your channel will become one of the best on RUclips.
gracias. its all hard work too
The advice seems to be right on. You're finding out just whats up. Appreciate. Sometimes we dont have time to think it out. Dont know where you'll end up. But you certainly will prosper.
so impressed by your insights - hope people are listening.....
My sister and I took a driving trip, Alexandria VA to Charlotte NC stopping at Raleigh among others. Looked at Charlotte retirement communities like Windsor Run, and new construction homes of excellent quality. Tasted three kinds of BBQ and the men opened doors for us. But I chose Florida and Gail still loves Virginia.
Wher r some laces you recommend me to buy in and some restaurants you recommend
Jose ,you’re absolutely right about Charlotte North Carolina , i’ve been living here all my life and it’s went from bad to worse over the years . People are being killed or robbed everyday here in Charlotte , I have even been shot myself here in this city . Regardless of what they are telling people to get them here this place will definitely keep you struggling . I’m Angilo Robinson a 45 year old guy that’s kinda trapped here because I have wasted so much money trying to just live and every year thing keeps going up in price . Jose continue telling the truth about these cities I really appreciate your videos bro 😎
Stop dragging Charlotte I'm from Pittsburgh PA and I rather live in Charlotte compared to Pittsburgh or an Ohio cities.
Really, why.Pittsburgh resident here currently looking into First Ward. Seeking any help with my decision.
@@OnYoMata38 Bro, I'm from Pgh and I used to live in Charlotte as well, as well as many other cities and states. I lived in CLT (CLT = Charlotte) in 2012/2013 time frame and it was decent. It was still growing so it definitely was not what it is today (which is 100% better). I lived right in uptown as well too, I believe Third Ward (the Ten05 Apartments on Trade) and it was nice tbh. I recently left Austin TX and I might possibly be moving back to the CLT area (closer to parents) and there's tons of new stuff going on in CLT. I'm not sure if you made your move yet, considering your comment is from 11 months ago.. lol But, if you haven't moved or still considering, there's a website that can help you with what else is going on in CLT (dining, nightlife, neighborhoods, etc.). I'll link it below.
www.charlottesgotalot.com/
@@OnYoMata38I lived in First Ward for a few years. I never had a single bad experience or ran into anyone. I used to walk at night through the city while I was there, too.
What part of Pittsburgh?
Ur breaking it down very well... True happiness is hard to find within ur self and in people... I feel u 100%... I feel good cause I am truely happy... I saw all this coming and handled my financial business and I'm super glad... I did myself a huge favor... Thank u for the confirmation of this...
I think a lot of these cities like Charlotte, Nashville, Raleigh, Jacksonville and other Southern cities had a better quality of life several years ago. I think cities like a Austin,Texas and Houston were a lot better in the early 2000's. Everywhere now has gotten bad. Everything you said was on point.
Charlotte is not friendly at all.
As a person living in Charlotte since 2005, this video is 100% accurate about the city. I went traveling for work from 2016-2018, and it wasn't horrendous before, but I ended up coming back to a literal God forsaken waste land. The crime, the people, the roads, the cost- all got exponentially worse. To those all protesting about what this video says- Charlotte news literally just posted an article YESTERDAY (5/23/2024) about how JUST HOMICIDES have gone up 51% since the same time last year. Meanwhile they've gone down nationwide for bigger cities, even places like Chicago. The worst part of Charlotte really is the citizens themselves. Being someone with manners, I feel awful when I go out of town and assume people are going to be as awful as they are here. Taxes - especially property taxes- rise every single year for absolutely nothing that helps anyone that lives here out. Not to mention the fact that there is absolutely NOTHING interesting to do here. That is, if you can make it anywhere. Hell, even the mall they built less than a decade ago on the exit up from me, had almost every single shop/business leave it because the crime there in recent years. Not going off places to live lists, but for years now- NC has always been ranked #1 in worst states for employee rights. We’ve also been on an ugliest citizens list. 🙃
I’ve live in Charlotte for years now l agree with you on a lot of things… True Facts ! But your riding thru the HOOD omg crazy on that side of town… Charlotte is very stressful to live im moving this Summer thanks for your review
For anyone watching, for the love of all things that are holy, please don't go off of this guy's videos on places to live or visit. I was curious and watched some of his videos (got recommended this one). This dude is the most confusing individual I have ever seen when it comes to opinions and reasoning in regards to economic development, crime statistics, and criterion for what is considered "good" or "bad". Really seems that he likes to intentionally stir the pot (especially in comments) solely based on specific anecdotal experiences as opposed to actual results/facts despite marketing as a "help people moving" channel. If this guy got robbed in the safest city in America, I'm pretty sure he would just trash mouth it to hell and back despite everyone else's typical experience there. Or maybe he wouldn't, I don't know, that's just how all over the place he seems to be from what I watched.
No he’s right I’m here now
ETA: Thank you Jose for your travels on the Dark Side. Gracias. Note: You are correct about spend the cash and visit at length before a commitfrom. Do not confuse your experiences on a business trip, staying at an Uptown hotel, dining with colleagues at a Dilworth restaurant or speaking at a professional conference as it is nothing like actually living here. Forbes magazine had it correct in another articles in which they opined that North Carolina is now a 'Midlantic' state, not southern and is becoming more like Virginia, Maryland, etc. than Olde South. This is true but the transformation is limited to the City itself and not the surrounding areas - even suburbs 15 miles away. There is no southern charm, southern hospitality, southern anything actually. Transplants are much friendlier than the locals. So y'all ain't gonna drink any Sweet Tea on the neighbor's porch anytime soon. I am a bit surprised at the hostility of some of the comments from the Charlotte Sugars, who've submitted no written or visual rebuttals. I should mention that my big savings have been in rent to the tune of $800 per month but that advantage is starting to disappear rapidly. Many of the hideous, low-quality new container pods/transplant re-fridgeration units (aka alleged luxury apartments) are creeping toward NJ levels. As an economic migrant 8K a year buys a lot of trips OUT of Charlotte to Europe, Spain, South America (think Christmas in Buenos Aires, Bermuda, weekend jaunts to DC, Charleston, Florida.) FYI I get the same kind of snarling Sugar reaction when I opine I believe NoDa is ugly and South End unattractive giving an extensive list of things I do not like at all.
I moved to Charlotte before the big boom 20 yrs. ago, it is very expensive here now and you are correct on most. If you aren't making a substantial amount of money 💰 you will have a tough time here. 💯💯
I have been to Charlotte many times and never had an issue. It appears you are focusing much on the bad areas. Yes there is crime but just like most major cities. You just have to stay out of those neighborhoods. Also Charlotte is growing very fast.
Bingo, that is the whole point of it. I get people who try to tell me Columbus is bad. I lived there and had zero problems. It is another city that is growing very fast and the same rule applies as for staying out of certain neighborhoods unless you just like visiting areas like that. I attended Devry University while in Columbus and to get to the school from the part of town I lived in necessitated going through one of the bad neighborhoods of Columbus. It really was not as bad as the hoods in some other cities I have lived in.
Living and visiting Charlotte are two different things
This is a very odd and narrow minded view about the city of Charlotte. Crime is all over. Scams are all over. Living in a city depends on many factors not mentioned in the video. Bottom line. Get in where you fit in. Choose your location wisely.
Oh please , enlighten us about the great aspects of Charlotte NC … we’ll wait
I’m from Charlotte born and raise and do not take offense to the comments in the video. Most are accurate. Charlotte struggles with issues like most growing cities do! It’s a beautiful city most people are great. But it has it issues and I have loved living here to raise my family but it is now time to go! 😅
This guy is telling the truth… they are trying to build Charlotte into a smart city where you will be monitored. Bill gate as brought a lot of companies here this place is not cool and the energy of the people is very shady…. You have great insight if you just picked this up on a visit.
Facts women here are funny style too gotta peep em
You’re focusing in only in Charlotte’s ghettos. All large cities have them, lol. For a city of 890,000 Charlotte has very few run down hood areas. It’s one of the cleanest, safest large cities in the nation and has one of the lowest rates of homelessness. So this video is very deceptive and inaccurate compared to reality and keeping things in perspective.
Every time we go there we have issues its a crime ridden dump
Lowest rates of homelessness?! You OBVIOUSLY don't come outside.
You cap 🧢 homelessness is normal in the 704 😂
🤣...I can't tell you if Charlotte is great for you personally bc no place is perfect. I do know a person that visited 2x & looks like they only drove around uptown doesn't trump 25yrs of me & my families experience. Most ppl that live in Charlotte can't even see the "big buildings" that he keeps talking about.....I don't feel unsafe. I've never had a crazy altercation w/ another person. You don't need security to walk to your car 😂. I've never felt I had to call the cops, it hasn't even crossed my mind until I stumbled onto this video. There are plenty of employment opportunities. If I had kids I would gladly raise them here w/o hesitation. There is something here for everybody from nature lovers to the person w/ FOMO, if you don't stick to only one area & Starbucks 😂. It has its flaws. Traffic, a couple rough areas mostly on the same side of town etc.
So your telling me the footage of security walking someone to their car is fake? Stage? GTFOH you know what it is
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Did I say it was staged? I didn't even imply it was. I said what I meant. In my 25yrs of living here I've never seen a person NEED or WANT security to walk them to their car. You're right I do know what it is, it's a man walking w/ a woman in the parking lot of a cosmetology school where there are no adjacent neighborhoods. You took that one interaction of what could be a security guard in a rough area w/no context & made something up about a whole city but claim be informative.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you where overreacting and just being racist
Charlotte is a great city. I lived there for 14years. I miss it now.
I've been in Charlotte my entire life, and I'll admit it's getting worst and crowded . It's over for this city
As someone from North Carolina, I agree. Charlotte is now one of my least places in the state. It used to be much better in the 1990's, give or take.
In the 1990s Charlotte was considered one of most dangerous cities in America, however, recently it is considered one of the safest. Charlotte is only dangerous for those who live there and not the ones relocating there because they know it’s a lot safer.
Don't let this video about Charlotte or any other big city fool you. I had the blessing of visiting Charlotte every year of my life as a child because I have relatives in Charlotte. I was introduced to Charlotte back in the 60's when women wore their real hair and men had their pants pulled up to their waist. It's not about finding the most expensive place to live or the safest place to live it's about why you have a need to move whether it's to Charlotte or any other city. If moving to Charlotte fits your agenda go for it. Crime is everywhere on this earth. Get better locks on your door and be aware of your surroundings no matter what city you live in.
He's right about Charlotte.
It has grown too fast for the infrastructure to keep up and the political leadership is incompetent.
There is a simmering anger and frustration underneath the facade, I've picked up on it myself.
It's full of transplants and transients so it doesn't really have its own domestic culture that stands out.
Traffic is horrendous and public transport does not offer an acceptable alternative.
And there are an increasing amount of tent cities full of homeless.
Obviously, there are pockets of the city that are nice but overall I doubt it's a place most would want to live.
40 minutes outside of the cite to the south and east you can find some of the night vest and down to earth people, but the area is growing so rapidly that the good folk are getting pushed out or selling off.
Charlotte is horrible! Just moved away.
Why is it horrible
Where did you go?
@@leviking414crime, especially in low income areas of Charlotte. I think Gastonia now is a pretty bad area especially since I used to live there. I live in the mint hill area now and I haven’t experienced anything between living in Charlotte, Gastonia, and Mint hill in years
Great informative video. I learned a lot of things I didn’t know especially when it comes to the housing market
I have lived in either Kannapolis or Concord, NC for a long time. I go to Charlotte sometimes, and I like it for a few hours, but I'm always ready to go home. Kannapolis and Concord are still decent, even being between the crime of Charlotte and the crime of Salisbury.
Charlotte, for the size of the city, has some of the LEAST amount of "bad" areas in the nation. Folks, when it comes to these type of videos you have to visit yourself and make your own evaluations. Most of these type of vlogs are designed to direct traffic to the watch the video (reason why the "why you should never" type of headlines), which means $$$ for the vlogger. I don't live there anymore (and not from NC), but I found it to be one of the most beautiful cities in America. Many of the neighborhoods (almost all of south Charlotte) are absolutely gorgeous. Suburbs around Lake Norman are stunning. Davidson, Huntersville are excellent) That being said, the vlogger is entitled to his opinion.
BTW, I cannot stand Miami, most of it is a cesspool. Nashville is partially nice (the Gulch), but east Nashville and much of west Nashville is terrible. Plus the crime rate in Nashville far exceeds Charlotte's. Finally, if Someone not from a community I was living in, and it was in a low income area as I saw in the video, then I might be predisposed also to chase them out as well. Some poor people do not like to feel they are filmed like they are in a zoo exhibition.
Charlotte doesn’t have the most bad areas but the bad areas they do have are probably the sketchiest looking I’ve seen ESPECIALLY at night. Honestly on par with Memphis, Detroit, St. Louis etc.
@@user-de9uc3py4d I disagree with you, but you are entitled to your own opinion. I am basing my opinion based on the size of the city and compared to other large cities. Charlotte comes out well above average. I say this because there are NO HOMELESS CAMPS found here like in almost every other large city, including Miami, DC, LA, etc. There is some run down areas but they are relatively few compared to other places even smaller than CLT, and the place is pretty clean. I have been to 48 states and just about every major city and Charlotte is way better than most of them. Again, my opinion and I've been here for more than 8 years and can live anywhere with my salary.
Nothing the vlogger said was wrong Charlotte is boring and expensive even worse the jobs don’t pay enough for you to keep afloat unless you stay in the trap
Thanks for keep it real.
Everything you said is all facts! Charlotte is a dangerous and overrated city. I left and bought a house in SC. It's peaceful where I live in Elgin, Blythewood area of SC and it's much easier to become a homeowner. All you see in Charlotte is people renting townhomes and apartments and alot of people struggling. Don't let the pretty tall buildings downtown make you think this is a great place to live
I've never lived in Charlotte. The only place I know is the airport. However even where I live in Munich Germany, people have tried to stop me recording outside and in public, where it's allowed. Even at big tourist destinations where you'd be hard pressed to find someone who isn't recording. Go figure. I do my level best not to capture people's faces, and even then some people get mad at me. That's just to say that it can happen anywhere. Yet I well understand how annoying it can be.
After living in Germany for over 30 years, no one could pay me enough to move back to any place in the U.S. permanently. The main reasons are the lack of standardised national health care and job protection, the high crime rate in many areas, and the middling to nonexistant public transport systems. It's a great place to visit, but I never want to live there again.
I have to agree 💯 with you I just came from there three days ago and it wouldn't be the place where I would want to live my opinion no jobs to support the rent
I agree with you my G , i feel u 100%
You skipped the entire South Side of Charlotte and went straight to the hood.
That is the purpose/topic of the video - he has shown the expensive areas and this is the other side, the darker side and is for awareness that there are other places than Uptown, Dilworth, Myers Park and so on. I've personally found high-strung reactiveness if you should mention you think NoDa is overyhyped and actually ugly and South End unattractive giving ennumerated lists of what I think is unappealing.
So the Southside ugly too
I love this video. I needed to hear this.
I used to live in Charlotte,I loved it there ..I love it better here in Raleigh tho since I moved here ..u should do a video on Greensboro NC too
I think you are incorrect on "all the apartments" they all aren't apartments being built some are town homes and condos. Most of the area you drove in was once the low income area they basically have been developing and pushing out the poor. Most of the population boom are people that are from the north or are half backs that have moved here so take that how you want to.
You should be looking at these suburbs
Tega Cay, SC
Fort Mill, SC
Indian Land, SC
Ballantyne, NC
Southpark, NC
Arboretum, NC
Absolutely beautiful places
@Orionsarm I read online that crime is high in Southpark area. People are posting that their cars are getting broken into in Southpark.
@@SaintLaurent9269 I haven’t noticed it but I haven’t looked at any crime reports.
I love your videos
The only thing I agree with is the overbuilding of apartments. Charlotte has 19,000 vacant apartments and Atlanta has 21,000 vacancies. Charlotte has almost 3 million. Why that many apartments for a city of that size? Atlanta has over 6 million people. That number of vacancies make sense. These developers will file bankruptcy building all of these apartments and no real return on their investment.
What part of Charlotte did you go to? I lived in Charlotte from 2015 to 2018 and I never had any trouble in Charlotte. Charlotte is a beautiful city bro!
I appreciate you bringing out the nuances of the place ie empty apts/Forbes mag.
I lived in Charlotte for 53 years. Moved 5 years ago for various readons. Enjoyed the video until your "real estate" ramblimg about housing cost/wealth.
You thought process covers the ENTIRE U.S.....and in the Travels I've done, if you look for certain perspectives, you WILL see them. And as for the poking at "Southern" people, please not that most residents in the Metro Charlotte area are from Northern States. Easily looked up.
Continue on your journey. I'm sure everyone's views on any City un America could be the same as yours on Charlotte.
Thank you for this helpful and inspiring insight. I've concluded that this country is broken and cannot be fixed.
I'm sorry, this is very exaggerated content!! RUclips is becoming ridiculous..MY OPINION
clearly your a realtor all you care about is making a commission you dont give a crap about ruining peoples lifes moving them here
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS okay you guys are crazy
Well done! I'm so tieddddd of folks talkin bout downsouth like it some type of upgrade. I visited North Carolina & South Carolina 3 times in 2023 was not impressed!
people was acting wild and crazy when I went. and charging high prices for shitty apts with flying roaches and gunfire going off in people's bedrooms.
People in these comments probably only ever been to the “good” areas which I admit is most of the city. Charlotte doesn’t have the most bad areas but the bad areas they do have are probably the sketchiest looking I’ve seen ESPECIALLY at night. Honestly on par with Memphis, Detroit, St. Louis etc.
Great video...and a lot of good info 👍...I like Charlotte but have never been crazy about Charlotte...my cousins live there and I am like it's ok??
This video is like a delicious dessert for folks in the Raleigh area.
I grew up in NC and went to UNC Chapel hill. I can tell you that Charlotte, NC is one of the worst cities i've ever been to. It is not NC at all, like Raleigh is. So I can validate your commentary on this video as well as your analysis.
Lol u shell 704 the heart of nc
@@Lawson828 people ain’t even nice in charlotte, just a nyc wannabe. People in Raleigh actually treat you with that North Carolina hospitality.
Have been in many cities and in Charlotte many times. Charlotte is great. I have never experienced anything bad.
Jose I think you should do a top 10 about Best places to move 2023...
You are talking about specific income brackets and areas of Charlotte (viewers of this video should Google the most dangerous neighborhoods in Charlotte). And, I agree with you that there are several neighborhoods in Charlotte that are very unsafe. Conversely, for those who can afford it there are also some very nice and safe neighborhoods in Charlotte (i.e. Elizabeth, SouthPark, Myers Park, Cotswold, South End, Dilworth, etc.). And, many Charlotte suburbs can be affordable and many are very safe. That being said, you are absolutely right that anyone thinking of relocating should do their homework in advance.
You're like a completely different person in these informative videos 😂 keep it up
Bad Video, horrible information, have lived here for 8 years, Drive a gasoline tanker and been in the best areas and the worst areas at night, never had a problem here.
pull out a camera and watch it all change. we live stream in downtown till 2 am here
Cap
Did you ever stop once to think that people turned nasty towards you specifically BECAUSE They don't like being filmed by you a complete stranger creeping about round them @@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
You wouldn't have had a problem there because people don't mess with 🚛 truck and gas tanker drivers. 😂
Born and raised and this dude GOT IT ALLLL WRONG!!!!!
As fast as they’re throwing up all these cheap apartments, they can be destroyed quicker with all the low income people that will constantly move in and out
KC BBQ is one of the worst. You got good tastes and good insight. I noticed the people of NC, as a whole, are unhappy. What's wrong?
Low paying jobs and expensive housing
@@truth459 One thing, I don't understand about the housing market. Tough to find a job paying 40 to 45K, and yet they want over 350K for a house. Same for rent. I thought you were suppose to charge what the market permits.
This video is .0005 percent right! Your only driving on about 3 roads! I'm born and raised here and fly free AA Airlines employee, and there's no place like here. I've been everywhere, more than you.
On a plane? 😅😅 you aint left the airport parking lot
I believe the Chinese not only probably own Charlotte , but most of the U.S. One of my coworkers was telling me they own all the toll roads in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. They charge a tremendous amount of money just to drive to and from work. It is outrageous! If you can't pay or get behind, they take pictures of your car and licence plate, send you a bill, put a hold on your registration and threaten to boot your car, and the late fees increase every month.
Thanks for the video
Jose, I really like all of your videos and commentary, also you're a very talented guy.
It’s boring there
Bottom line is many American cities are terrible and that you should consider relocating out of the United States to another country but that will be another video.
Damn. The US Is that bad?
I believe there are cities in other countries that are mostly terrible, too.
after being here for 2 years from living in New England for 25 years, I can tell you, the grass is not greener.
I also have family in NJ and grew up in Texas and have traveled extensively.
Charlotte has too many transplants, too many apartments, they cut down trees for shopping plazas and the “worker bees” to part with the money they worked all day for.
People are boring, no personalities, no joy, and the food sucks. They dont care about animals.
No, its not all sh$t, but “no soul” is what Ill say.
Think twice before moving here.
Nashville has alot of crime rate but 40 to 45 percent of it is tourist crime and once Broadway use to finally breakout into a the tourist attraction it is today. I remember going and walking around as a nashvillian having to watch my back and I haven't visited Nashvilles Broadway scene in over 3 years becuase of the crime. Nashville has come along way from 1990-2000s it use to be like a ST. Louis feel. Alot of crime and poverty but it has skyrocketed after 2015. into one of the best cities to actually feel safe as the whole city. Ever since they called it the boomtown.
Having grown up near Charlotte, it's newspapers, radio, and TV were the dominant media in the area.
That being said, Charlotte has always had an inferiority complex towards Atlanta. Now Charlotte is Atlanta. And what do they have? Myself, I like Greenville, but it's getting more and more like Charlotte every day.
yeah even as an outsider you can tell ATL thing
Thank you for this video. Was looking to retire there, but as an ex Bronx New Yorker I’m not going back to the hood after moving to Orlando in 2001. May look at the area and where Disney is building / pittsboro
Cary and apex outside of Raleigh NC much better
Here's a Clue, Fool !! If you hate Charlotte so Bad; DON'T COME BACK !!!!!
True hurts huh
I’m trying to move to North Carolina Charlotte to be exact spring of this year but none of these are brand new units aren’t showing online. All that new construction no units avaliable barely any online. It’s crazy. It’s crime everywhere leaving LA I feel
This will always be a better option for me And my Kids to live! But I agree it’s something going on everywhere.
Not even kidding I was thinking about moving to charlotte but thanks for letting me know the huge cons!
You should really visit for yourself seriously. Explore the city! The ocean has sharks in it and they have been known to bite but people still go to the ocean and never seen a shark. This video is only informational content.
My son visited Charlotte with his girlfriend a few years ago. He was harassed and followed around the Tommy Hilfiger store at the mall, presumably because the salesman thought he was a shoplifting Mexican (he is half Chilean). He confronted the salesman who ended up apologizing. He has no interest in ever going back.
😟
I know how you feel. Been there and done that.
They do that here all the time
You’re right Charlotte is crazy
Some city minimum break through innovation
This review is false, you must verify by visiting. Spending years in the city it’s one of the best I’ve been to in the world
Stay safe
Charlotte is a just a few abandoned houses from being Detroit.
This is the stupidest statement I have read in months. You are on a waiting list to get a house in Charlotte for 2 to 3 months. 12,000 single family homes have been built in the last 3 yrs. According to census figures Charlotte is still short 7,000 homes, which over 5,000 are under construction. 17,000 apartments have been built in the past 2 years. 50,000 people move to the city, county and immediate area every year.
Are u really measuring wealth by the cost of ur house? Theres people that literally have millions of dollars at their disposal that live in 300k homes, hell even cheaper than that. Everybody don’t care about all that what u talking about lol
Don’t take his word, but test it for yourself.
Look up crime stats in Charlotte and see how it compares to other big cities.
Might be surprised!
I have lived in Charlotte for 4 years due to a job transfer and relocation. I HATE it here and will leave as soon as I possibly can. Crime rate is awful. Feel unsafe in your home and everytime you walk out the door. I live in a development that has 6 different ways of coming in and out and every single on has construction going on at the same time. I'm about 10 minutes from interstate and to get out of development you are looking at about 20 minutes or more. Consider not coming to Charlotte or the outskirts of Charlotte all are the same way
As you travel the country, just stay away from NC.
Edit: go visit Lumberton NC just once.
Looked depressed when I went
Plenty of beauty in NC
Lumberton is Great! Great people, a slower pace tho.
Jose, you taught me something. I figured Charlotte was bad on crime. Alot of people are posting online that they are paying $1500 per month on rent and their cars are getting Broken into in Charlotte and the surronding Suburbs.
The people with money in Charlotte live north of the city near Lake Norman. @Floridahoodvlogs
Why you showing all the bad spots though?
I think he’s pretty objective overall.. he’s showing regular areas, bad areas , and good areas… he’s just not showing N TRYON st and Noda which are the 2 coolest spots in the city .. everything else is pretty mid bro, nothing to see really . Unless think otherwise, however if you’re from a larger city and u move to Charlotte you’ve seen pretty much everything the city has to offer it’s not that great. Try traveling more there’s better cities, let’s face facts
For comparison sake and always gets flack from Charlotte Sugars. Since there is huge lack of street name signs on the wires crossing the road, I've gotten lost several a couple of times into 'Jose Territory'. It's not hard and not too far away from the the good, expensive areas as well.
Dude you are completely wrong about Charlotte. I live in many cities and recently move to Charlotte and have not have one issue with anyone attacking me. Please do your research before you come and before you create such bad narrative about a city.
Bro Charlotte has great BBQ 2 pro teams and 2nd banking hub city in US and still growing charlotte only gonna keep progressing
I tried BBQ in charlotte area, it was disgusting. Everything is over the top too sweet.. gets repugnant quickly
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS ya taste buds off a lil bit if you don’t like NC Barbecue
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you don’t know good eating that’s all that is
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS u don’t know real bbq
@@skiiii4444 Does it take like Kansas City. They pour globs of sweet honey sauce on their meat. Not good. St. Lous is good though.
Whats your view , Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, im 54, looking to purchase a condo there ..investment, as well as retirement.
Or what's your opinion on the best city to move in florida ..
I think its too seasonal there. I am not a fan of places that depend that heavily on tourism as long term investments. Also, VERY VIOLENT vibes there when all the wanna be thugs show up in the summer from small towns in SC. not for me. Hilton Head is better i think. Florida, Sarasota, All day. Fernandina Beach, New Smyrna Beach
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSdem be charlotte folk in myrtle 😂
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS hmmm ok ...I was think tourist would be good , to invest in purchasing a condo , and rent it out through AIRBB.. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP ..ILL LOOK INTO FLORIDA , THE CITIES YOU MENTION ..
TIME FOR YOU TO BUY AN RV .. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO .....THANKS
What do you think of Amelia Island and Ponte Vedra?
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 never heard of it ....
You still have LOTS to learn. Anyone who understands INVESTING knows that you don’t move to a location AFTER it has been developed! Forbes obviously knows a lot that you don’t. Charlotte is hot for reasons that you fail to even mention. I know and understand why but im not going to share it with u. For those of us that do get it…we’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. BTW, of course those ppl don’t want u filming them! How would u like it if an outsider came into your backyard and began filming YOU! EVERY city has it’s issues, and Charlotte clearly isn’t the town for YOU, so stay away then. I’m from NYC and clearly Harlem wasn’t the desirable place it is NOW, but look at it now! Those are the ppl that are able to pay CASH for their homes in NC with little to no mortgages that you spoke of. You sleepin BIG TIME!
I don’t look at the crime rate I look at the economy whenever I make investments. Comfortability of the people. Etc it’s still a great option. The entire state in general. More money flowing in Charlotte for
Sure though.
Charlotte getting really dangerous now since 2020
he hyping it up tho, u good if you mind ya business
Charlotte is very unfriendly
@@coreybell4914You can make friends, but they fake , lame, and phony. Sooooo...why bother.
Almost nothing he says makes any sense.
Bruh you scary as hell. Charlotte is no more dangerous than any other major city. There are million dollar homes and women jogging in areas that were war zones just a couple of years ago.
I'm from Tampa Bay up the road from southwest Florida, Naples Fort Myers you have a lot of independently wealthy people and rich retirees there, or people that doesn't like Miami's crime and crowdedness but has Miami's weather I like the area. Charlotte doesn't even have 3 million people to have all those millionaires. I went to Atlanta area to a outlet mall they had sheriff's guard towers there as well
Enjoy your videos, didn't you move to Alabama on one of your videos
I came back, being from SWFL there is only so much inbreeding and backwards crap I am willing to deal with. living in a really nice area of sarasota now. done with those poor inbreeding racist wipes in Alabama. they really hate cubans.. and progress. envious, hateful and two faced people. i cant deal with that, u know we beach vibe not roll tide
they are leaving miami because they hate hispanics, the places they are moving to have statistically more crime and 3X more OD rates
very informative - great presentation
Looks like you went to the few areas that are bad in Charlotte because there are only a few and I’ve been here for five years and have never seen any of these areas in your video but the opposite lots of really nice areas and a very beautiful city
