Charlotte Biz + Development News 🏗

Maybe they all just detect your magnetic positive attitude and gravitate towards you.

Maybe they afraid of wupass

Entirely possible.

Big city’s have crime. You have to keep to areas that you belong in and keep your wits about you. Charlotte is no different than any other big city.

Better than some, worse than others.

I hope and pray we move in the right direction in the future.

Crime in Charlotte is trending in the wrong direction and I have little confidence in the the people that run the city or the county to do much about it. Sure, there are still nice parts of town and good people but the treat of harm makes one question where you are located.

Growing chities like Charlotte like to prop crime rates instead of crime numbers. For example, homicide numbers can be up, but the homicide rate will go down with outsiders moving here in mass.

Wonder if this supersedes HOA rules that don’t allow them or if this only applies in areas without neighborhood restrictions on that type of housing.

Sounds like a great way to ruin some old charlotte neighborhoods.

Parking always seems to be an issue with these types of changes too. Do builders have to have on property parking? Or where on street parking is allowed they don’t have to?

Parking downtown and widening feeder roads in the burbs. Don’t ride with me anywhere in a car if you don’t wanna hear me fume over how they keep building multifamily housing or huge SF neighborhoods and they don’t bother adding lanes to the feeder roads in the suburbs.

Makes it take a minimum of 20 minutes to get anywhere in town. Minimum. It’s absurd.

All developers should have to pay for all infrastructure improvements necessary to support their projects, including expanded secondary roadways.

A lot of those old neighborhoods had duplexes and triplexes.

Since these were no longer allowed, people just tore them down and built townhomes or McMansions.

I don’t think it’ll really make much difference in the end. Those little houses in desirable neighborhoods are going to get razed eventually because money always wins out in the end.
