You guys totally missed the point of my examples of credit Suisse and the all star games.
Credit Suisse did expand in Raleigh and the All Stars was pushed back until 2018.
(And PayPal never expanded. There’s an article from developers and business leaders how there is so much activity of companies to relocate here that as always, we have trouble building enough office space and Charlotte is adding office tower after office tower)
The All Star game is in 2019. I was in New Orleans around the time of the moved All Star game and Nike had huge banners hanging from office towers saying EQUALITY, which is cool, but what an enormous embarrassment for us.
The General Assembly isn’t the only one to blame. Jennifer Roberts deserves the heat too. She thought she could poke the bear and go toe to toe with the General Assembly & McCrory (after being warned not to do so) and it backfired big time. There’s a reason she isn’t mayor anymore.
I don’t have a problem with non-discrimination ordinances, but to attempt it while a vengeful GOP has supermajorities in the General Assembly with McCrory in the governor’s mansion was just stupid, IMO. The GOP may have been responsible for HB2, but Roberts kicked the hornet’s nest. This whole mess could’ve been easily avoided.

You have just explained a very probable reason behind Charlotte's desire to host the GOP convention in 2020
So. Around 5 years until Durham topples GSO officially in numbers? How much does Durham grow by a year?
Mmmm this is probably not accurate but last i knew i think Gboro was gaining 1.5 - 2k people a year while Durham is adding 5.5-6.5k a year. So yeah 5-7 years probably. If those numbers are correct i don't know.
But both Winston and Gboros metros are larger. Gboro (756k) WS (662k) Durham (560k)
