I actually tried to do an aerial video months ago and was disappointed with the quality. The air was hazy from pollen and rain and it turned out too blurry to post. Figured I’d come back again with clearer skies. Ultimately decided to wait for the municipal building to top out first and spend some time honing my night shooting skills. Still trying to optimize that.
Like Wiley Wonka there is a golden bus in the mix. A 50th anniversary special of some sort. Very eye catching and not something I would have believed had I not seen it myself.
Hmmm…is the ranking a good one or a bad one? There are a lot of things about Raleigh that don’t align with CityNerd. In particular, our city isn’t walkable, and our transit is weak at best.
For those who haven’t watched the video, the list is “share of 25th percentile income required to afford 1000 sqft of a 25th percentile rental”. Raleigh is the lowest of the cities he looked at, at a 25th percentile income of $46,604 and 25th % rent of $1,187, so 31%. The rest of North Carolina also does pretty well on this metric, anyone have any theories?
I don’t want to nerd out, but I hope Leo can convince him to come to Raleigh sometime, because I’d love an opportunity to potentially to meet him and hear his input on Raleigh.
