[quote=Anonymous]Some of these comments are out of left field. Someone described Raleigh's topography as ... brown? The Triangle/North Carolina in general is the greenest place I've ever been except for possibly Hawaii or somewhere tropical.

Wake County's reason's for busing are to avoid segregation, so that's a good thing. The area is growing by leaps and bounds so it's becoming more difficult logistically to manage those long bus rides. You can be rezoned but it's been much more stable lately. There are certain areas I wouldn't move to if stability in school assignment is important to you (Cary west of 55, Holly Springs) but it's honestly not as big of an issue as many people make it out to be. Bigger issues are: underfunded schools/teachers, not enough buses, some of the older school buildings need work.

The politics here are a concern. While there is a Democrat governor, the state legislature and the courts are republican and are making some big decisions right now that are against what many of their constituents want. There is a big problem with gerrymandering. You will find that the Triangle is mostly blue but the more rural areas are pretty red.

Weather - I love the winters. Summers can be intensely hot and humid. Fall and spring are gorgeous.

Food - there's plenty of food scene and interesting restaurants everywhere in the Triangle.

and btw, I live in an area with a lot of Indian people and we love it.
