You couldn't ask for a better place to live. I'm a native of Charlotte and lived in the Myers Park area of the city. It has grown by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. You will find a wide range of neighborhoods to live in. Many of our older ones are being upgrated and are rather pricey, but you can find just as nice neighborhoods in most any part of Charlotte. My hubby and I, we're retired, live in the south of Charlotte in Matthews and love our area. The shopping is terrific and there are many great places to eat. We are also about 1 1/2 hours from the mountains, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and are about 5 hours from some of the most beautiful beaches to visit. The schools vary from excellent to fair, depending on where you decide to live. Get a good real estate agent and tell him/her what you are looking for. I recommend Allen Tate Realtors, I think they are the best. Good luck and I hope you decide to move here, you won't be sorry.

Best job opportunities are in the Triangle (Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill), and Triad (Greensboro / Winston-Salem) areas.  But, of course, cost of living is high there.  (Unless you're willing to commute from outlying communities - public transport is virtually non-existent, and roads are painfully congested.)\n\nI live in Wilson (east of Raleigh); cost of living is definitely lower, and employment opportunities are OK.  Rocky Mount and Greenville are close to Wilson (30-min drive), and have comparable costs & opportunities.\n\nWhat sort of work do you need?\n(High-tech & engineering work can be hard to find outside of Charlotte and the Triangle.)

Voters, for one. To some degree, the economy. Random events, disasters [man-made and otherwise], acts of nature, etc. Also, other governments--their views, actions, etc--can influence policy, as well.

I am for a strong local government and a weaker federal government.   I say this because I believe govt can impact people's lives at a local level far better than from washington d.c.

Federal. national distasters,educational grants,food progams for low-income childern in school etc. Ultimatley the federal gov. has more resources than the local gov. If for example their is a flood. The state will declare a disaster and ask the federal gov. to give money to the state because they don't have money to cover the cost of the damages to their state.

It all started when the north won the civil war. Before there were states rights. Lincoln did away with them when he installed a "Centralized Government". Thomas Jefferson knew what would happen and it did. Lincoln wanter the federal government over all the states. Before the civil war...the states had the power. Lincoln had to declare martial law and take all the rights away from all citizens north and south. Since them the federal gives us rights as it sees fit. Before states had to give the power to the federal government. It made a big difference to the states both north and south. Lincoln was an atheist dictator thru out the civil war.

Fines are generally low.  Court costs are generally high.  For instance, in Charlotte 1 to 5 mph over the speed limit is a $10 fine with $110 court costs added on.

The biggest impact government had was that child labor was finally abolished. Also, government for the first time supported the formation of labor unions.
