I say by 2030 both Charlotte and Raleigh will bring NC to the front as an important state and both cities will be atop in national and international speheres of influence.

There, fixed that for you.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I'm not. Just simply stating my opinion. While I don't expect Charlotte and Raleigh to be Alpha world cities, I do believe they can achieve gamma.

Charlotte is already in the high sufficiency category and Raleigh is already in the sufficiency category according to GaWC. I can totally see both becoming world cities by 2030.

Anybody find it strange that NC grew by 1.5 mil since the last census and yet we did not add any seats in the house or electoral college?  Georgia grew by just 22,000 more than NC and yet it gained one in each.  Hell, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Washington and SC all grew by less and gained a seat and a vote.  This will remain true for the next three elections.  If NC is growing in recognition, where is the love from the government?
