I think you are comical. Who said anything about suburban sprawl? The last I checked 77 and 85 run through Charlotte proper correct. Driving 85 and 77 both look like cow towns nothing but trees, boring. You guys have never been outside of Charlotte. Every major city has class A office space, hotels, and condos. along side their major corridors. As a matter of fact the only major city that does not that I can think of is Charlotte and maybe Nashville. D.C, Montreal, Toronto, (real cities not Atlanta) San Francisco, San Diego, Philly, Boston. Charlotte has a beautiful uptown. Outside of this its cow town and its a little embarrassing. At least one person understood. Yes, it is exciting entering into a major city looking at the buildings because it shows that it is prospering. I can't even believe I am defending this complaint about Charlotte. I am convinced now the ones who gave me pushback obviously have not been outside of Charlotte:) . Its so obvious!
