Yeah I was just looking at Georgia and comparing it to North Carolina and it's crazy how close together they are. All those Georgia people are moving to Atlanta and North Georgia. In 20 years that's not going to be anymore peaceful mountains in Georgia.
Nah , there’s always been an influx of those groups . NC is becoming a pricier state , if your middle class Raleigh is become less and less accessible really fast.
thats only because you live 300 miles from the nearest ocean.

I mean most TS suck for me too, im just dying for the big one that doesnt suck! Though ive gotten some decent wind and massive rain from storms like matthew. they dont compare though to what can happen

This current decade should be the boom, its wild what has happened in just the past 12 months on my end. The stage is being set for the metros and surrounding counties to become much bigger. Infrastructure(public transport and roads) is probably the only reason it didn't blow up this past decade. But I don't see a reason why the less populated counties really grow much, so more or less what you have been seeing with them. I also question our census numbers since there were some politically driven bias happening....But it's the best we have.
The state canned a bunch of road projects following covid , or at least delayed them . One of them was the widening of 64. I doubt it though, don’t personally think this decade grows anymore than the one before it . Less Americans moving around , less people moving to America , and the state has become considerably more expensive . We will see though. Why do you think there political bias at play? A desire to prevent us from gaining more seats ?
DOT was broke because of financial mismanagement but we have one of the largest budget surplus's(extra 7bil+ next couple years) in history stacking up right now, because of all the Covid/Fed money coming down and now the infrastructure bill is looming on top of that. Im seeing a lot of dormant DOT projects coming back and contractors getting busy again, they were stalled for a few years.The political part is just the same old crap drawing dividing lines in districts for votes(that favors one way or another), and I heard the census was cut a bit short due to the election in certain areas. But we are a battleground state so manipulation is expected unfortunately.
