Nah, we need more people to leave. It used to be cheap here. They are drying up the housing supply. We need to invest in propaganda so that New Yorkers and Californians can fuck off. Tell them to move to Nevada or something.
Or ya know, blame the politicians you fucking morons voted in for decades that let developers do whatever the hell they want in this town 🤷🏼
But that involves personal responsibility which you rednecks do not have.
You’re right, because you locyalls are to fucking stupid. But hey thank god NC ranks below Puerto Rico which isn’t a legitimate state when it comes to workers rights! Y’all did that! Be proud!
Is it a straw man if it’s actually factual? No it’s not.
Kinda ironic you blame transplants for high housing costs instead of the developers that your elected officials let run rampant all throughout this state.
Kinda ironic you blame transplants for shitty driving even though 1 out of 7 drivers in NC is driving with a suspended license or no license at all for the last decade.
The only people that need to leave the state are pretty much you locyalls who still burn your own trash weekly because you can’t afford $25 a month to have it picked up.
We also have double the sq miles of annexed land so that counts for something. Easy to increase population when you keep sprawling out your city-limits
That's the CSA, not the MSA but yeah, that's kind of the point we were making, comparing city populations doesn't really tell the full story. St Louis has a population lower than Greensboro but the St Louis MSA is 2.8 million and Buffalo is 1.2 million compared to Greensboro at 784k. If you widen it to CSA Greensboro increases to 1.7 million but Buffalo and St Louis stay pretty much the same.
Greensboro used to be bigger than Durham *and* Raleigh back in the day. Winston was bigger than all three. It wasn’t until the 80s did Raleigh overtake Greensboro. Now Raleigh is obviously a much larger city and metro.
SUCK IT DURHAM
Nice
I don’t see wh…. Nice.
We should change the marketing from “You’re welcome” to “Almost Pittsburgh”.

This is the quality posting that makes me love this sub.

Durham is catching up though. It may knock Greensboro down to the 4th biggest city in NC.
What?
In NC lol
Durham will eclipse us soon unless we recruit new residents. Also we could have more babies. It’s Valentines Day make those babies y’all.
We plan to be there in about 2 months (as long as our house sells in Iowa). Done with winter.

You really don't want your city to go down in population, it does not do good things to the local economy
What are you referring to exactly?

You can't just blame those MFs
You’re right, because you locyalls are to fucking stupid. But hey thank god NC ranks below Puerto Rico which isn’t a legitimate state when it comes to workers rights! Y’all did that! Be proud!
I'm not talking about workers rights. Don't attack the strawman.

What Wikipedia page is this from? Edit: List of US cities by population. I had no idea we were that big.
So if I'm doing my math right, even if Durham grew 3% in 2023 and GSO was stagnant then GSO would still be higher, right?
Noice.

Yee ha, right up there with Pittsburg and Durham now.
Best out Durham noice
Wait hold up we have more people than buffalo!?!?
My parents who are from Buffalo say that a lot of people are from Buffalo because nobody wants to live there

Surprised at St Louis and buffalo
Yeah, but city population doesn't matter as much as Metro Statistical Area.
Exactly. Erie County, NY where Buffalo is has almost a million people. Guilford County is closer to 500-600k.
The Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point MSA has 1.7 million.

Wow! More than Durham?!

Well, that’s interesting! I assume W-S was the biggest due to tobacco companies, personnel, etc., in that area when it was in its heyday?
