It totally sucks, is flat as a pancake and everyone is a racist, cousin humping Trump supporter. No need to move here.
you shut your whore mouth.
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
NC is on the short list for places to relocate, as there are jobs for our field there. and the wife is all about it. could be a win/win.
Western NC has amazing riding. It is as good as it gets anywhere. A friend recently moved to Ashville and raves about it constantly.
Can confirm!!!!!
But...
Its amazeballs. Been twice and loved it. We brought a bunch more people down this past January and even though we all literally froze our eyeballs and other balls off, they all loved it. Half our group did Laurel Mountain/Pilot Rock in the snow and absolutely howling wind, that was fun.
10/10 will bang again.
The only downside that I've found, is that you can't buy beer on Sunday mornings in Brevard.
PA rules !! Why anyone would want to move is just baffling.
born and raised here, what are you smoking
ftfy.
Ashville is on my short list as well.
asheville is nice.
raleigh/durham area is nice.
the best part about charlotte is it is about two hours from asheville.....although the whitewater center is awesome....they have rockclimbing events going on there that i can never seem to check out.
if you can't find good bbq anywhere....you aren't trying hard enough.
some people say we have good beer....would not know shit about that.
asheville is a closer to colorado/wyoming/montana than philly.
raleigh/durham area is nice.

Twas on the shortlist wifey and I drew up. Very happy with where we ended up though.
Asheville sucks. Everyone from Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia visit here in the summer and clog our roads. The riding is meh at best and its humid as fuck in the summer.
sounds like pennsyltucky.
wheeeeeehaw,
Mostly the jobs that are in Asheville are service industry jobs since it is mostly a tourist area.
RTP area (Raleigh Durham) is pretty cool, but housing market is becoming increasingly competitive / expensive. Trails are not as cool as WNC

how expensive is expensive?
but yea, there will probably be tradeoffs in terms of industry jobs vs proximity to rad trails.
i can ride in the winter here. just need more clothing and warmer gloves/shoes.You can ride in the winter. Not much more needs to be said.
From Raleigh through to Greensboro - a hotbed of growth like you would not believe. Wilmington is always so Wilmington, and that's never bad. If you have job interests in the medical/manufacturing/tech/arts fields, then Raleigh-Durham(ugh, I hate saying that) is where you want to be.
If your interests are more geared towards the manufacturing/distribution of crystal meth, then I think there are some lovely areas in the eastern sector of the state that will suit you just fine....we have something for everyone.

yea, RTP is realistically where the jobs for us would be.
shitting in someones doorway....optional.
depends, just open up trulia and plug in 27560, and start looking
thats actually comparable to where we are now. lot sizes seem smaller though.
Just some of Nor Cack's finest, er, nothing to see here.
Actually, anything other than WNC, toward the middle of the state is pretty much populated by people such as yourself. If you were hoping to escape the Pennsyltucky mentality, you will not. The only difference is that the winter is milder and our Rednecks have an accent.
i'm outside philly, it's very rat-race-y. becoming like NYC Jr. PA riding in general is (literally) mediocre at best. plus cost of living (from a quick google) is on average about 10% lower. (ranging 5% - 25% depending on locale)

Yeah I remember you telling me that Glenn Mills is now some uber hoitie toitie neighborhood now. And kids actually want to go to Garnet Valley HS. Complete opposite of how it was in the 80s.
How can riding be literally mediocre?
Denver metro area doesn't have cost of living going for it unless one's point of reference is Seattle/Boston/NYC/Bay Area, but it does have many good things going for it otherwise: riding, skiing, big hub airport.
I wish more people had your mentality and would GTFO. Asheville has changed so much since I moved here from Raleigh 14 years ago. And you certainly couldn't pay me enough to move back to RTP.You couldn't pay me to live in Asheville again.
I would skew towards Durham for living - there's a ton of good things happening, and you don't have to be a part-time ninja to walk the streets anymore.
because the trails are mediocre at best.
considering the last 2 states i lived in were NJ and CA (LA metro area) much of the country is less expensive by comparison.
Literally!
is charlotte a possibility? happy to spill the beans. i’ll let the triangle area mokeys speak to raleigh durham. durham’s where my inlaws are from. it’s come a long way sincr i lived there in the late 80s. only downside is less trails and farther from the mountains than here.
I could live in Waynesville or Boone or something like that.
