That doesn’t surprise me. I grew up on the West Coast and most people there didn’t think that there was anything east of the Rockies until you got to NYC. I now work for a CA based company, and it’s more of the same.

I always got a jolt when Texans called me a Yankee. And followed up with “you said North Carolina…”

This isn’t good more old people means more NIMBYism. Raleigh needs to be like that other NC city and stop appealing to families and elderly people. This is no joke I might literally run for office because of this old people invasion.

No more bike lanes for me … cars and car parking only
No old people allowed. Solid platform.
This is a family-run forum. Just saying.

We need to be like the other NC city and appeal to tourist and youngsters. Not families in this economy no one wants kids imo, maybe I’ll be a stepfather someday I can see my self doing that but never kids of my own. But Raleigh must be cursed with NIMBYs, old folks, and no fun, I’ve probably lived here longer than anyone in this forum unless you were born before me this place is boring I love it but it’s boring. Full disclosure when I joined this forum over 3-4 years ago my idea for this place was because I was tried of seeing the city get looked over I found that you guys had similar ideas, but I’ve figured out that people just don’t want Raleigh to be fun, they like boring. So when Dundon said he’s interested in MLB I got excited because it could be another fun thing to do, I’m not saying Raleigh will be some huge metropolis like DC or Atlanta but it should have some achievement on it’s own. But after arguing with people on Facebook and Reddit and to be blunt black people also I’ve noticed you guys don’t want that, and that’s been a hard pill to swallow. I’m literally should be traveling the world with friends and enjoying college but for some reasons I’m so passionate I lose sleep over Raleigh I’ve even grown gray hair, so understand my passion. No I don’t hate old people but old people vote more and are more conservative and aren’t progressive minded at all that’s my concern these people know how to vote when they’re angry about something they are a threat.
I will be by then hopefully I would’ve radicalized enough people to do the work for me.
Old people who think like me are allowed. Just like how Bernie Sanders is allowed in the progressive platform.
My friend, we’ve shared drinks together so hear me when I say this. Raleigh isn’t going anywhere but your youth will. Get up and travel right now.
