North Carolina can be a wonderful place to live but today I'm going to give you about 10 reasons why you might want to avoid this place stick around hello family my name is Sir Ashley I'm a realtor and investor in North and South Carolina and if you're interested in learning what it's like to live work play eat buy real estate in either North or South Carolina this is the channel for you so make sure you hit that subscribe button and tap on that Bell icon so you can be alerted when we come out with a new video so I have many people reaching out asking me what is it like living in North Carolina and what can they expect and I absolutely love it and my team and I love giving you feedback and just having a dialogue with all of you that reach out so if that is you and you have any questions about what it's like living here make sure you leave a comment after this video or you can reach out to us whether it be a phone call a text or email I personally love talking to people about what it's like relocating to North Carolina So today we're going to talk about almost 10 reasons why you should probably avoid North Carolina now I'm not saying that these are negative and I'm not saying that they're positive either and I've lived in North Carolina primarily since 2002 and I've lived on the coast of Wilmington I've lived in the triangle which is the Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill area and I've lived in Charlotte and I've also had rental properties in Greensboro and Fayetteville so I have a good sense of the state of North Carolina and I've experienced just about all the stuff that I've mentioned in this video and these are my own opinions but it's not my job to give you my opinion on if it's good or bad I'm here to tell you about my experiences and let you decide for yourself if it's a positive or negative and for you to decide if North Carolina is the place that you want to call home so let's start off by getting this taboo subject out of the way North Carolina is a very purple State the cities are very liberal with the exception of Wilmington but once you go outside of the Cities about 20 or 25 miles it gets very conservative very quickly there are parts of the states where you'll see Maga Flags or Trump 2020 or Trump 2024 flags and then there are areas of the state where you'll see more signs like this and you will have a much more diverse population with various languages being spoken people in North Carolina love their beer their Bible Bourbon and their guns also people in North Carolina support the right to work state that North Carolina is and some people like that and some people don't but that's just the way North Carolina is and if you're unfamiliar with what a right to work state is I suggest you research it yes I went to law school in practice law but I will not be answering any legal questions so after you've done your research and please I'm not talking about looking up answers on Facebook but after you've done your research and if you don't feel comfortable that North Carolina is a right to work state then North Carolina may not be for you the second reason why you might want to avoid North Carolina is that the weather on the eastern part and the western part of the state can be very extreme the eastern part of the state is near the coast and it does get severe weather such as her hurricanes and tropical storms and also flooding and there's also large parts of flooding throughout Fayetteville North Carolina but then there is out west where there are mountains and you have to deal with serious significant amount of snow during the winter but for most of the state I'm talking about the triangle region the Triad region and the Charlotte area the weather really doesn't get too extreme if you can handle a little snow and yes I do mean a little snow because on average Charlotte gets only five inches of snow a year and Raleigh and Greensboro gets about three to five inches respectively as well so for the majority of North Carolina if you can handle a little snow it is perfect for you but on the positive side when there's any potential of snow or ice the entire State shuts down because here in North Carolina we just don't have the infrastructure to clear the roads and to sort the roads fast enough temperatures can get very very hot during the summer time but the fall time is absolutely perfect you will definitely get all four seasons if you live here in North Carolina let's move on to number three North Carolina has some crazy and I do mean crazy Wildlife down here I live in the city of Charlotte but at least three to maybe four times a year I see deer or a family of deer as I drive now I know that's not crazy but I wanted to ease you into the crazy stuff if you don't like snakes North Carolina probably isn't for you this is one I wish I had known because I am a [ __ ] when it comes to snakes and yes I've had snakes in my garage and I've also seen shedded snakeskin as I've mowed them on yes I'm not above admitting I screamed I ran every time I saw a snake or even the snake's skin lying around and then I called a neighbor or a family member to come take care of it I don't mess with snakes also almost daily you'll see somebody post on next door next door is the community social app and they're posting about a snake and wondering if it's a copperhead or not and yes all of these posts do get annoying but then on occasion someone will post something like this today and then you will really reconsider your decision about living in North Carolina along the eastern coast of North Carolina yes you will come across alligators those prehistoric creatures they still do exist here in North Carolina in the western part of the state you will come across black bears and for the most part they aren't really worried about us humans but if you're out camping and have some food lying around they will be concerned about your food so I recommend having some bear spray if you're not comfortable with guns but if you are comfortable with guns make sure you have at least a 44 magnum another Wildlife creature that absolutely freaks me out here in North Carolina are all of the spiders and yes we have all of them from black widows to brown recluses all of them I was out showing a home recently and I saw this giant thing now I'm glad it was way up near the roof of the home because if it was any closer I would have left my clients at that very moment and called them once I got a safe distance away now if you've watched my channel you probably know that I'm from New York and I've lived in DC so I'm used to seeing rats I was not used to seeing flying roaches here in North Carolina they call them something else here but no they are flying roaches here in North Carolina terrifying let's move on to number four the fourth reason why you might want to avoid North Carolina is that tourism is a thing here in North Carolina the state is a destination spot for a lot of people we have the mountains and we also have the coast but as a resident there's a lot of things happening in the middle of the state that I know there's tons of tourists coming in to see whether that is the Biltmore
