I mean Raleigh may not even be the best option in its own state (Charlotte) so you need to think a little harder.
Raleigh is in the middle of a university research megacluster. It's also more attractive to granola type tech people. It's already a tech startup hotspot. It's definitely the better option.

So Raleigh may have some advantages, but it's ridiculous to say it's "definitely" better when Charlotte leads in so many important economic metrics.
