[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Particularly with The Grounds soon to open, I don’t think Wake is particularly inextricably linked to Winston Salem’s revitalization or lack thereof.  [/quote]

All things being equal, I would take a thriving economy and well done mixed used development.  Mixed use development absent people who have the means to take advantage of it does not move the needle.  In fact, mixed used development is the cherry on top of the functioning economy NOT the engine that drives the economy.  [/quote]

There are plenty of homes in Winston Salem selling in the $1-2  plus million range, and the condos being built at the grounds start above $1 million. The population is growing twice as fast as the national rate, and the city’s economic growth rate exceeds that of North Carolina as a whole.  It’s well located being one hour from both Raleigh-Durham, and Charlotte.  There’s much more going on in Winston- Salem now than anytime in the recent past.[/quote]

That just isn’t true.  It’s lost its economically base.  It’s lucky the rest of the state is thriving so that govt resources can be tried in attempts to fill the vacuum but without a pivot back to growth driven by private sector forces, it will sputter at some point.  [/quote]

I don’t know what “economically base” is, but everything I wrote is absolutely correct and easily verifiable.  Start with google.[/quote]
