New Orleans, Nashville, Portland, and Austin. It's even bland compared to Tampa and Orlando.
New Orleans? lol you can keep that culture and identity
On the others I can see how these would be more appealing to some if they needed some major identifying theme for their home city. Being a major bank city doesn't attract people for tourism really. It's just a good place to live is all. I'd def consider Nashville, Portland (either one b/c both are awesome), and Austin. Tampa is ok. Orlando - no thanks.

Single or Married? Kids? Working uptown (which is what they call downtown here) or in Southpark, Ballantyne, suburbs?

I haven't been in about 10 years but I still think it is one of the cleanest, prettiest cities we have visited.

I like Nashville, but I wonder if the tourists would get on my nerves if I lived there. Plus I like the geographical location of Charlotte quite a bit better than Nashville.
Don't get me wrong, I don't regret moving to Charlotte at all. Great craft brewery scene, improving restaurant scene, pretty easy to get around, mountains, lakes, and ocean are all a reasonable drive.
But I don't think it's unfair to say that it does lack some identity and character.

Yes I'd agree with all of that. It all depends on what someone wants out of their home city. I've lived in tourism towns and do not really like it.

I have a ton of friends in Atlanta but job-wise, not sure it's offering too much in my area.
Finance in Jacksonville is growing huge. It's gotta be pretty close to NY and Charlotte at this point.
In the market I'm in right now, all jobs are in NY, Chicago, and Jacksonville. All the jobs that will end up making serious $$$$ are in New York and it'd be very hard to transition to them and I'd be just as bad off in living conditions there as I was here even with quite a bit of a salary increase.

I gotta say, in my 16 years in the commercial banking / private equity world, I've never heard Jacksonville mentioned as a finance hub before. Is it more consumer banking focused?

People use this when describing Dallas as well, which is fair. However, I'd gladly take relative safety, great schools, and good jobs over character every time.
Charlotte may be somewhat bland, but id gladly live there.

Jacksonville's financial sector has benefited from a rapidly changing business culture, as have other Sunbelt cities like Atlanta, Tampa, and Charlotte. In a concept known as nearshoring, financial intuitions are shifting operations away from high-cost addresses like Wall Street, and have even shifted trading functions to Jacksonville.[118] With relatively low-cost real estate, easy access to New York City, high-quality of life and 19,000 financial sector employees, Jacksonville has become an appealing option for relocating staff.[119] Perhaps the best example of this is the growth of Deutsche Bank's presence in the city. Jacksonville is home to Deutsche Bank's second largest US operation, only New York is larger.[120] Other institutions with a notable presence in Jacksonville include Macquarie Group, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Citizens Property Insurance, Fidelity Investments, Ally Financial and Aetna.[121]

Agreed, but it does depend on where you're at in life. I think LucasP ten years ago would be miserable in Charlotte. LucasP now, it's a good fit.

o me city seems to have no soul.
This comment always pops up in Charlotte threads. Can some of you elaborate? What cities have soul?
Places like New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston, Memphis, Chicago, NYC, and Boston have "soul".
Atlanta? Nope
Nashville? Nope
Florida, Kentucky, Virginia, the rest of the Northeast and Midwest, California, Texas? Nope, Nope, Nope.
(If I am misinterpreting an OT racial slight, no soul = no blacks, and it is a good thing, then pardon me)

Single--not the best, but could be worse.
Married with school aged kids--great. Good public schools if you live in Providence, Ardrey Kell, union county districts, as suburbs in Huntersville/Moorseville.

Dude. After seeing the public schools in BR, even gifted and talented, compared to Huntersville public schools, holy shite. It's almost criminal how bad schools have gotten back home.

Lived there for two year and loved. Nobody ever has bad things to say about Charlotte. It's like a really small metropolitan city and very green.

Hope you don't get murdered shite hole
