I think the pot is calling the kettle black here. I'm merely giving a different point of view. Inferiority complex? Usually the first to mention something like that, is the one who has the problem. If I felt that way, I'd just move there. I have the means to live pretty much wherever. People tend to type things that they wouldn't say in person. Sort of like the person with road rage. I think thats why you are throwing jabs. I'm sure you aren't like this in person. If we can't discuss without the attacks, maybe we should end here.

I'm not attacking, I'm just curious. Why does city "size" matter so much? Why is it even an issue to you? If someone told me that Savannah is a bigger city than Charleston, I would not feel a need to "give a different point of view". I wouldn't care really. You type stuff like "you know the truth" and make an issue of it, like there is some plot to make Greenville seem smaller than it is, for whatever reason.
But I see you are a real estate agent. Now I get it
luv the banter, can someone tell me if I moved from Long Island, NY, (20 minutes from the city) how bored will I be in Greenville? I'm looking for somewhere not that humid & not over-crowded. Any suggestions?
Here is the deal guys. Some may take offense. Charleston is very old. I would guess it's about as old as Boston, and is also a port city. For some reason Boston exploded in size. Not sure why Charleston didn't. Now, let my say this. Greenville is fairly new south. It doesn't have a port, no major college presence, and it's not the center of the state. The only thing it had to work with is a tiny dirty river. Despite having none of this, it is still flourishing. The other msa's should be way ahead, but they aren't. Why is this? Here is why. Good old fashion hard work. The people here go after what they want the area to transform to. This is what attracted me to the area. There is a reason Greenville county has 450k+ people. I invite all of you who haven't been here recently to, to pay a visit. What some of you think is way off base.
...and a little road connecting Charlotte to Atlanta. Despite feeding off of these two huge metros, why does Greenville still have the lowest population growth since 2000 of the three SC cities? Clearly they're the only city in SC that's flourishing...

Because it's growth is in the burbs. There are many different ways to view it.

You ask why Boston grew and Charleston did not. Well a little problem arose in 1861 that stunted the growth of Charleston for over a hundred years. At the time of the Civil war Charleston was one of the largest cities in the country, especially in the South. What would Charleston be today if it wasn't for the Civil war. Another Boston? Maybe, we can only speculate. It was a growing city at that time and it would have continued to grow.

That should have been obvious to any properly educated U.S. citizen. Apparently at least one state has been allowed to rewrite history for its public school curriculum.
