Thank you for your videos I always watch them they have alot of good information. I moved to Charlotte from the north and I hate to say that I that I regret it its all the opposite of what I was told about the people more nicer never mind about how people drive 🚗 is horrible. you are right about people already that lives here HATES people moving from other states there's alot of diverse and they hate each other I'm saying this because I have experienced it and when I talk to other people they say the same thing sadly for the people that hates the people moving here because it's getting crowded each day mor and more just like people moving out .I think NC is nice it has alot of outdoors nature parks and other places that are beautiful to visit.
I'm not sure if he's in character when he films these, but he comes off like, really genuine and warm and chill. I wanna be friends with him lol.
Thank you so much Sir Ashley! We are thinking about moving to the Carolinas and you answered all of my questions🤗
Thank you very much Sir! It is pretty useful to hear the good and the bad, it helps to make an informed decision. We appreciate your time and effort putting out this content for us people who are trying to gather all the facts.
You're welcome Natali! I'm glad it's helpful!
Sir, GRITS here - everything you listed is why I LOVE NC & SC. Can you do a video about why Southern folks wouldn't like living in DMV, NJ, or NY - noise, dense population, & rudeness. I honestly didn't know that a slower pace of living was a bad thing. Thanks for the content and good looking out 🙏🏿🙌🏿
Thanks for watching! And the slower pace is seen as a positive to some and a negative to others.
Personally, it was a negative for me when I was younger, but now I've come to desire & appreciate it.
The DMV is the South. Is this a joke?
I've watched about 3 of your videos and my opinion is that you are very thoughtful in your content and knowledgeable about many items specific to the Carolinas. Great job and keep up the great work you're doing to help folks be informed about the Carolinas.
Currently, we live in Key West, Florida (the islands) and it is usually always hot and humid! Because the islands are known to be slow, we too, are living slow. We are moving to Columbia, SC. Once my husband retires from the army. I grew up in Richmond, VA (south side ) and it was SLOW as well. We are excited to move to Columbia!
Thank you for this excellent analysis! Gave us a lot to think about before a move.
Born and raised. I’m one of the ones telling y’all to stay away 🥹😂.
Wow, great stuff. The content, structure and delivery is world class. Thanks.
Great video! This makes me more excited to move to North Carolina. Nothing can be slower than the city I’m in, in Louisiana. And I’m quite used to the heat and humidity. Still deciding but NC is at the top of my list.
Very nice! I love it here and have come to appreciate the balance you have here in NC
I'm in Louisiana too!!!!!! My boyfriend and I are coming to North Carolina to check out areas to live, leaning towards Charlotte/Concord
@@aliciacarey9812 concord is basically Charlotte. It’s a nice area and concord mills (the mall in concord) is the biggest tourist attraction in NC.
@Earth Angel , not sure if you’ve made your decision but here’s my perspective about the greater Charlotte area. I am a recent transplant to Charlotte from Louisiana. I’ve been here since late 2019; just before the pandemic and I love it. I am originally from south Louisiana; “da boot” and I have not regretted my move. Yes, the food is a bit different, but still very enjoyable. The southern hospitality is very much present even though the majority of persons one may come in contact with is not originally from Charlotte. Most persons I’ve come in contact with at work and socially are actually from NY and they have embraced southern gentile ways. I have made intentional efforts to get out and participate in social events. All have helped in my appreciation of the city and my level of personal enjoyment. I thought I was leaving allergies behind. In LA. Not do much.!! I think my allergies have actually gotten worsebut not too much that a daily dose of an antihistamine’s can’t handle. Same for Louisiana though.
I love it. Then I hate it. Lol jersey will always be home as dirty as it is. It def is cleaner here. And like no snow. Entire state shuts down it’s crazy. But do get a lot of paid days off lol move to Raleigh…. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle with the weather. Flash floods are super fun every few days! I avoid that area at all costs. It’s crazy lol
I think this was very informative and extremely accurate! 🎯 The #1 worst thing to me about living in the Carolinas is the humidity. The humidity, to me, is gross and terrible most of the year, but it's something we put up with, and honestly besides that, I have very few complaints!
Buy some dehumidifiers, they work great pulling the water out of the air inside of your house and then you can use the water to water plants…
Thank you so much, Sir. You put lots of thought and effort into your videos and it is much appreciated.😇
love the video brother, thinking of making the move to warmer temps,Nc sounds tempting
The best to the point video on the pros and cons of the Carolinas I've seen so far.
Definitely dope to hear such detail. I’ll be following you. I’m coming to visit in April and can’t wait to see the beautiful state
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I loved your energy and how you broke it down, so of course, I subscribed. I was interested in the Carolinas, and your video gave me lots to think about great video
Will be moving from the tropics to NC next school year and this video provided a great deal of answers to my queries. Thanks, Sir!
This is VERY true about the slower pace. I was NOT ready. I’m still trying to figure out if there is suburbs like neighborhoods with sidewalks lol. I’m so lost out here, I’ll definitely reach out. But this is good advice because maybe I’m trying to recreate DMV area out here and that’s not happening lol
I loved your video. Very informative for me as we are trying to pick between NC and SC right now 💗
My wife and i moved to NC 8 years from mass, we bought a 2400 sf brick home in Charlotte for $130 thousand and now it is worth $300 thousand! We love it and plan to stay!
Nice honest evaluation. Moved here in 2007 from Dallas TX and love it here. No place like it which is why it is my bibe, but certainly not for everyone.... Although definitely encourage people to come visit. Like my peeps in TX, come here in the summer way way way nicer!
I live your honesty man, don’t listen to the haters you are giving facts from both sides sides
Love it, thx for your tutorial, much appreciated..
Great Information 🤗Thank You 😊👍🏿👍🏿....Just Sent information to my Daughter ♥️
Who wants to relocate from Upstate New York.
I moved to Charlotte,NC from VA exactly one year ago and some of the taxes caught me off guard. There is even a beverage tax. I watch alot of reviews and something I dont hear mentioned is that NC requires more coverage for car insurance so this could make your car insurance increase dramatically compared to where to moved from. NC is not a accident forgiveness state but ranks high in accidents and crashes.
I will travel all the way back to NY long island...to get my Mani and Pedi .frfrfr 😂 they are bugged out
You mean NC is not a "NoFault" state?
@@Gypsygirl9 no I mean if you have accident forgiveness on your insurance it will not work in NC. NC and CA don't acknowledge accident forgiveness so even if you have a clean driver record and file and claim your premium will still.
I've lived in western NY most of my life. I think the above 90's temp and humidity would be my main thing to adjust to. I like country life and a slower pace. I've been considering anywhere between Kentucky to NC. The western half of NC does have my interest.
Additionally, I went on a vacation trip to Mexico and took a horse ride into the mountains there were 15 of us tourists in 1986, I saw TWO, 2 giant spiders larger than an 18” automobile rim and tire they both had birds trapped in their webs, it’s the only time as a full grown man that I screamed like a frightened women being terrified by a monster! And I am not ashamed to admit it, these Spiders were so big two other men and women in my group also screamed, my wife was the only one who didn’t scream because she didn’t see the spiders!
We moved from Murphy, NC to Oklahoma and we only lasted 8 months in Oklahoma. Going right back to Murphy NC. The grass isn’t always on the other side.
Where in Oklahoma?
Just gotta say man, you are so well spoken! I'd hate to be sold by you because I'd buy whatever you're selling lol
Moved from Illinois smaller northern cities to Charlotte NC for a few years when Electrolux chose Charlotte for their US head quarters. Moved back to take care of a parent as I reached retirement. So I never lived in the big buzz of Chicago. That situation has changed.
All of you're regrets, sound like a plus to me!
Packing my bags!
Very informative video, thanks for sharing!
All great points, thanks Sir Ashley! Like everything else, you always offer up excellent fact based information that allows for an informed decision. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you brother! 💪🏿
I’m just relocating to Raleigh this month. I was born and raised in DC. Culture shock is an understatement. I just got married. HELP…
SC was at the top of my list of potential states to relocate to. I'm so glad I watched your video. Now that I know it has one of the worst pollen problems in the state, I must take it off my list 😢
Thx for the video. Planning to move within the year and I’m only worried about the humidity and bugs 🤷🏾♀️ lol
Apple, Amazon and etc are moving to NC, so it will be interesting to see how things will change here. I assume it will be like Northern Virginia .
Yes, and add Google to the mix as well. Northern Virginia is a good comparison for the future development in NC
But probably lots of folks who've been there some time were once transplants TOO!
Thank you for the great video!
Good to know!!..still excited about moving!
good stuff just found this today a couple good video thanks
If you want the golfing life come to Aberdeen NC this place is all about the country club life style if you have the money.
I lived in North Carolina. I loved it...
this was a awesome video. Thank you.
Your information is good and accurate, I believe that it reflects people's lack of research about what they are choosing for themselves. And the expectation of being accommodated to their wants, once they arrive. I have lived in the Carolina's all of my adult life, and I don't want it to radically change. The cities aren't doing so well for the most part, but so far, thank God, we are. I like safe streets and kindness, myself. It is a good thing. Know what you are choosing, it is a choice.
Lol snakes smakes! I’m Australian! Seriously though, we are looking to relocate & NC is the state that seems to suit us best. The only worry is people not liking us because we’re foreigners.
The thing that’s attracting us is the slower pace & small town feel but I’m super worried that will be the exact reason we won’t be able to eventually blend in. Help 🥺
Move to Rockingham County N.C then. Everyone loves Australians here. Sheriff Sam Page would be the first to welcome you in and advise you on what's available in a neighborhood or town you would like. Tell him Tony's wife sent you
We would love people from Australia. I live in Indian Trail NC and love the pace. We enjoy life. People that are in a hurry are not very happy from what I've seen. Move here people from Australia your government has turned against you. PS. I'm selling my mother's condo in Lake Park Village NC. If interested email me.
I'm moving to Clayton next Spring! Thanks for the video
You're welcome! thanks for watching !
Moved to Charlotte in 1979, from upstate NY. I've had friends, and realtives visit and bellyache about the heat, but then they go back north and complain about the cold while I'm walking around in a T shirt and shorts. My sister still lives in NY, and because of the polar vortex, had frost in the corners of her living room
Always informative Sir. Wife and I are considering relocating from Astoria Queens NYC. I think the politics are the most concerning but politics in general are a terrible so it really comes down to conservative values conflicting with our liberal ones but with a lot of transplants moving it might soften the blow.
Having a job lined up is something I haven't heard but we'll definitely take your advice.
Thanks again
We currently live in Aiken,SC it’s kinda okay but it’s starting to get boring over here. We moved from California
All those area valid points. I want the slow pace, hence the reason I’m making the move. I checked out the vehicle tax it isn’t that much and I’m not sure how lousy it is but upon my visit I saw numerous busses and rails in Charlotte, for peace of mind though having a car is a plus. Thank you for the much needed information.
Hey brother, I have come to appreciate the slower pace. In Charlotte the public transportation is getting better and if you stay on/near one of the light rails stops, you'll be good to go straight from south Charlotte to the university area, but going east to west will be a challenge.
Thanks for watching brother 💪🏿
@@advisorSirAshley
I still have to learn the lay of the land, no worries on my end I have a vehicle. I do like to take public trans to get a different perspective though. Guess you can always mix up the pace a bit by going into the larger cities, still thank you for giving that insight
And of course you’re welcome, it’s only right to support the channel.
My family and I are moving to SC in June from Canada so tax isn't a big deal since we are taxed to death here 1.30-1.90L for gas. Icome from a town of 700 or less people but moved to cities of 900-1mill people so we are moving to Florence, something a bit lower but still have all the things we need. We went on vacation to see what SC it was like and we loved it.
This is such a great video but that Karen from the Viva la Dirt League video was just the cherry on top! Keep up the quality content!
Really appreciate your videos! My husband and I currently live at the Jersey shore, and love it. We are considering a move to NC for retirement, as both of my sisters have recently relocated to Asheville (and love it). We were looking at the Hendersonville area, but the price of homes in that area have become too high for our budget.
Are you familiar with the Marion and Morganton areas? We don’t want to live in an area where people are close minded, but I am also not interested in a big city (spent many years in Philadelphia).
Do you only handle Charlotte area? We are also boat people and have a small Boston Whaler.
Hi sir Ashley thanks for all these amazing videos you made for people who are thinking to move to north carolina. my question is : is there any opportunities to get a work in painting houses over there thanks 🙏
the heat you describe sounds identical to Minnesota summers lol. frequently spend all summer in 95+ temps and high humidity/dew points.
I love country living, maybe because I am African. I have been living in DC for the most part of my life and want to move to NC, but after watching some of your videos, I am googling about snakes and how to protect my home from them. I work In health care and know what to do when bitten by a snake, but I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OF SNAKES. I want to make a move, really do, I just don’t F with snakes frfr.
I'm in DC and everything you said is how I feel too.
I lived in NC most my life. I've picked up snakes at my job. Best advice I can give you . If you see a snake go grab a neighbor and get them to cut their head off or shoot it in the head
Also get a cat . Outside cat will work. They keep snakes away
Great video, thank you sir.
Thanks for this video.
Me and my family are heavy considering moving to North Carolina. Currently living in Washington state.. it’s just too expensive to buy a house here.
I left there and will never go back.
I’m in Spokane and absolutely hate it here I miss the south! This whole state is depressing and the worst weather I’ve ever experienced in my life !!!!
I am a NC native. Moved to Oklahoma 5 years ago, they are so laid back , it drives me crazy
I moved here from California and let me tell u if there was ever hell on earth Nortb Carolina is it
Yes, I agree. This is a terrible State to move to.
Definitely agree with you! It's like a nightmare and I'm trying to wake up from it! I'm trying to debate on which state I'm moving to in the next two years after I finish my bachelor's degree in psychology. I can't take this horrible state anymore
Lol I am from Cali and would NEVER move back! LOVE SC!
Thank you for sharing
Excellent video!!!
Yeah the wage is suck here thankfully I found a job in the city near the beach but they think $15 an hour is a decent wage. Out in the country....
It's tough when wages don't match the cost of living. Hang in there!
Your videos are awesome! Well thought out and professionally delivered. If we ever move to that area we will surely be using you as our realtor!
Thank you Sabrina! for the kind words! If you decide to come to the area, I'll gladly help!
Loved your video. Ty. What is your opinion of Chapin?
No comparison if you moved from a high cost location. Luckily I left in 2017 for NC before the covid migration
Thinking about moving here from the suburbs of Philadelphia next year
Alicia, Come on to the Carolinas!
@@advisorSirAshley 🙏 trying
This was a good video. I am looking to move from Pgh, to Raleigh area.
Slow pace of life.. Colorado - we call that "mountain time" you go into mountains to camp from Denver,,, just expect "mountain time" lolol Thank you for the videos
Your videos are great, but I was at the Federal Law Enforcement Academy in Glenco Georgia for 5 months training center for US Marshals, Customs & Immigration Officers, I got use to the heat and humidity, even the alligators didn’t bother me. But Giant spiders all of which were and are poisonous plus snakes and flying cockroaches 3 inches long was just too much! Coming from California the prospect of low cost of property and low income taxes, substituting car taxes and added taxes on electric vehicles is not that appealing. Atlanta GA offers just a little more metropolitan feel. But excellent video nevertheless!
Unfortunately, starting from Jan 2021, CA also has additional tax on EVs. I had to pay 270 dollars only in taxes to renew registration of my Chevy bolt. Bummer.
Thanks for the NC info it was very helpful. I'm thinking of making a move there coming from Boston. Will definitely use you as my realtor if I do. The allergy issue was most helpful since it kills me 😮💨
What do you feel about Summerville, SC? We are going back and forth about SC and NC. I absolutely LOVEEEEEE SC!!! I was raised in AL but relocated to Detroit when I was 16 and have been here since. I am married. 15 years this year and we have 3 children. I am ready to GOOOOO! I do not like Michigan anymore. Over the cold weather and snow‼️🙅♀️ I have been ready since my First born was 14. Lol However, my husband is a Michigan native and wouldn't budge. 😫🤣 but I finally got him to say he'll move! 🙌🙌🙌 Sooo excited about this. It's like a dream come true honestly.🥰 But yes, as we have agreed on SC. Summerville or Mt. Pleasant to be exact. So my question is what do you think about those cities? We are 38 years young, 3 children, 7, 12 and 18. Do you think we'll enjoy NC better or SC?
I’m in Summerville, 1 year. It’s nice!
We want to move next year but not sure how to begin. We plan to switch jobs and find a apartment but we have never made such a large move .we know its right for us but are at a loss to begin 😕
When I moved to lake Wylie prices were low. It was like a gold mine in a lake community.
There's a great migration going on at this moment. People want a change of pace and believe the south will provide it. We were in NC this past week looking at new developments and investment opportunities. Our visit was everything we could ask for. The one gripe we had was with the aggressive driving. We could've sworn that everyone was a NASCAR driver. Our out-of-state plates did not make it easier for us.
Other than that, folks were pleasant and helpful. We stayed in a metropolitan area but it had a somewhat small-town feel. I loved it. There was always something for us to get into and the Caribbean nightlife was poppin'. The landscape in NC is vibrant green and scenic. Makes you feel at home. And for the old transplants advising folks not to move here, get used to the idea because we are coming and there is nothing you can do about it. Thanks for the video, Sir Ashley!
Caribbean nightlife? In NC?
Just don't being any rudeness or nasty behaviors with you. Respect the area you're moving to that's all I'd advise anyonento do.
I’m thinking of buying a home in NC 👍🏼 in the next few months
Thank you so much for your videos, they're so informative. We looking to relocate from WA to SC as retired folks who adore old Victorians and craftsman style houses. We'd like a small to medium sized community not too close to the coast. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Your negative comments are positives for me.i wouldny live in DC,NYc,NYC, anywhere in Cali. If someone gave me a house there and paid me 100k a year to live there.
Yep the South doesn't like Sidewalks unless you in the cities
Undertone of your voice is so comical lol 🩵
Coming from California Hispanic what county do you recommend to raise a family.
Elign south Carolina
The low minimum wage affects everyone. More crime and poverty. People lose good jobs and still need a job with a living wage.
Number one thing is the humidity! Even if you are used to it, it can even feel difficult to breathe when you go outside in certain months. It's kind of like being in a tropical rainforest, except without the trees to give you shade. When you combine that with all of the heavy, fried foods that we eat you will feel very sluggish when you step out of the buffet and into that heat! You haven't felt the itus like this before. You want to eat lunch and take a nap for a couple of hours. Add alcohol or weed to the mix and you are out here creeping around REEEEAAAAL slow. XD
I think you're fantastic, you give alot of good information on what's 👍 👎
Man that sounds soooo boring.i haven't been there yet,I'm from Australia and my other half is from charlotte nc.i think he really talked it up lol.but I'm out already full stop.everything you've described is definitely not for me.so thank you for these video's amazing
The alligators are what freaks me out.
Hopefully people will stop moving here. It's definitely losing it's charm.
The traffic is getting unbearable from EVERYBODY MOVING HERE. Because of this if your car breaks down you'll have to wait in line like four weeks. Getting to the point of wanting to move OUT of North Carolina.
NC has been ruined by ex-pats moving here with their Northern indifference towards others and immediately want to change things. I have been born and raised here. Outsiders move in and want to immediately change things. Eroding our freedom little by little.
That’s believable. My hometown in California is also losing its charm. We use to be a safe, clean, & friendly environment until many many city residents come and spread their ignorance and hatred and thieves
I hear this a lot about NC/SC. If you don't already have a lucrative career don't expect a huge earnings. I plan on retiring somewhere on the blue ridge/ western NC. I came from the east coast always loved the mountains and have tons of research on the area, homes and work. I work in healthcare so money has never been an issue. I lived in Florida before the Midwest and have been trying to escape since 2002. Florida is to muggy and hot and I don't see myself returning to my home state. NC is my target.
Hi Carl. I am in Ft. Lauderdale for years ( parents dragged us here as little kids). Always hated the weather and planned to move at 18. Moved to GA and ended up coming back to FL due to a death. I am 8 years away from retiring now and must leave. I need snow and autumn leafs. Lol. NC or TN are on my list to research. Are you decided on the Carolinas?
Lol...people can live as shut-ins in any state. Lol. I am like you and hate the heat. Living in FL..guess who is a shut-in 9 months a year? Right! That'd be me. In my house with that AC on 70.😄
Hello fellow "fleeing FL" buddy. I am in Broward and have been for most of life. Hate it sooo much. Too humid and hot crazy traffic that gets worse every year and sky rocketing insurance rates with a hefty helping of rude people and crime. Was thinking of Carolinas, KY or TN. Have you checked into KY or TN?
Love your videos but I was raised in Wilmington and I love that place but now in Florida about to move back because everything your saying about N.C is here in Florida and C.A..10 yrs of Florida I'm moving back home cause this gal is moving back to buy a home and hit the beaches and camp grounds..
Don't forget about the Gators.
We don't mind the slow pace but it took a few years and then we finally realize we like it here but the lack of community if you're an outsider you're not well accepted in these more country towns AKA nowhere towns which is where we live. Does anyone have any suggestions where once again looking for a church as the other ones seem to have fallen through and there's no kids there really. Other suggestions aside from a church?
I don't recall seeing any snakes in Brooklyn... at least not outside of politics. I will say that I don't miss the snow and cold. I do miss walking to a corner deli for a sandwich, a real pizza or bagel, or hopping on a subway to get somewhere. I couldn't find a corn muffin or hot sausage anywhere and no one seems to know what "coffee light and sweet" means. If you like museums, shows, the arts, your options are very limited. Even if you live in a larger city like Columbia or Charleston, there isn't the variety. If you're used to culinary variety, it will never compare to even an outer borough of NYC. But if you're tired of the hustle and the bustle, enjoy a little more quiet and a lot more greenery, this is the place.
Vehicle tax?
I have lived my whole life in California. I hate it here. I loved Knoxville the 3 times I visited when my daughter and her family lived there. Was hoping to move there. But then her husband went into the Navy and they are stationed in Beaufort, SC. Sadly I haven’t had the chance to visit yet because of my elderly mother. I would like to live in the south but they will probably be moving next year to who knows where. 😕
Plenty of adorable land out west
I love to live in NC
