A 1 bedroom starts at 1000, and that’s not in the city center. I have no idea why they’re saying it’s dangerous. There’s literally cops putting bike traps up to tempt people into stealing because there’s so little crime. It’s incredibly safe and welcoming to people of all races & genders. It’s also dry, incredibly dry with forest fires in the summer so the smoke can be intense for several months. It’s not rainy

You can nomad in Memphis without needing to pay for a coworking space, which they don't have much of anyway, probably for this reason in part.

Had the misfortune of spending my teens and a couple college years here. Although I hear it's a bit better now. If there's one thing it has going for it is a solid coffee scene and tons of talented musicians - although in general they quickly abandon ship to Austin or DFW. In general, avoid like the plague. It's a 300,000 pop hub of consumerism, ultra-christian-conservatism, obesity, fast-food chains, college bros, STDs and mega churches.

We live in Hill Country now so we're a bit removed. But it's beautiful area once you get away from the highways. A good tech scene. Not too expensive (~$2100 for a nice 2 bedroom apt) for the U.S. Has wineries and breweries galore. Not a great place if you are a recovering alcoholic (!). Cons: extremely hot in the summer; reaches 110 F (43.3 C) in summer afternoons from June - September. Not very diverse. Highways are loud and obnoxious.

Most of the city is suburban, and most of the people are basic. Culture and art, while improving, are still undeveloped. As a city, Charlotte seems like a pre-teen still coming-of-age. Not yet cool, but it has potential to get there eventually.
