@SpookyMaps wealth in developed societies is pointless without a mass of service providers w/in commuting distance.
motivating that proximate servant class to rob & kill you seems unwise🤷
@SpookyMaps luxury lifestyle signaling in developed societies is about consuming services & experiences.
signaling via objects/property such as iphones, iwatches, over-leveraged mortgages & car notes are within easy reach for nobody strivers.
a fundamentally third-world mentality.
@chriscooperwcu even w/o the partisan politics aspect, Jackson has to be one of the most challenging geographies & population distributions of any small county.
i suspect it has an unusually mismatched daytime pop/job center VS nighttime residential distribution, even discounting WCU factor.
@SonOfODell@gercohen@chriscooperwcu the old NCSU site was at Pullen Park by the belltower, right?
i recall the site being very popular & lacked parking to handle the volume.
it was far from most dorms, the student center, Wolfline bus hubs, etc, so the new site on Western may be more convenient to most students?
@gercohen@chriscooperwcu love that i can walk 10-minutes to my early vote/precinct polling station, one of the nice unexpected highlights in the midst of bleakly car-centric suburban Sprawleigh living.
@TheAleksee GA is fairing better than NoVA or FL in the Trump 2 economy.
but in the southeast there’s always competition in steady high growth states like NC, SC & TN, well positioned alternative destinations ready to siphon away high-quality job + transplant growth away from GA.
@TheAleksee the growth of “other demographics” staying robust is dependent on a strong job market + housing growth + a steady stream of immigration.
GA is currently in recession/bust-cycle.
population growth has cooled, overtaken by NC which is now projected to be larger by 2030.
@littlered1612@himbopresident he didn’t skip leg day, dude is a lifelong New Yorker known for going out his way to take long walks.
i guess genetics are brutal when it comes to calves, imagine schlepping as much as he does with NOTHING to show for it.
@JoshIsFAB@himbopresident those calves are definitely not “average” but that’s OK.
genuinely astonishing that a New Yorker that walks as much as Mamdani would have those calves, though.
@himbopresident Mamdani has done such great work steering the American left away from the IDpol deadend.
he deserves to indulge in a tiny bit of IDpol “represent my people”-ism by revealing his calves, as a treat.
@alexiswhat_@TheAleksee CLT metro goes deep red immediately past the Mecklenburg County line, even Cabbarrus County is still pink.
the border line is b/t Randolph County & Chatham County.
west of the line is deep south polarization, except Asheville.
east of the line is more midatlantic/midwestern.
@therealpauldahl@nikicaga@RoKhannaNews most of the “high IQ” ones are just rules-autists at heart.
that’s why they’re pedos that bother to memorize & oppose age of consent rules instead of just going the Epstein route.
@TheAleksee in GA the GOP started to dominate at-large elections for state-level offices post-2010 but Dems started to win at-large federal-level elections.
NC is the opposite, Dems still wins Council of State post-2010 but GOP started to dominate federal elections.
@ArtoftheMil@TonyaMichelle65@dogwoodblooms it’s BS.
30 yrs ago the beautiful trail next to the NC Museum of Art was a juvenile prison surrounded by barbed wire fencing.
Hillsborough St was sketchy & full of street sleepers.
Historic Oakwood had streetwalkers & crack dealers on the corners.
DT was abandoned after 5PM.
@Miller4NCSenate@obxpilot23@dogwoodblooms thankfully the attempted rebrand of Crabtree as “Uptown” never stuck, but some misguided souls are still trying to make “Midtown” happen.
@dogwoodblooms@TonyaMichelle65 Raleigh never had much charm & most of the city looked like the shittiest parts of Capital Blvd today prior to the 00s.
@TonyaMichelle65@dogwoodblooms North Hills Mall was a dump before it was redeveloped.
Raleigh never had much southern charm, it was never Charleston or Savannah.
it was a decidedly unglamorous town of govt pencil pushers & professors.
if anything there’s more good NC BBQ spots in Raleigh now than 30 yrs ago.
