Money Magazine

Here's an interesting entry from the Money Magazine Best Places to Live blog:

We moved here in 2005, in part due to Money magazines favorable reviews. We have found the people to be fantastic, the jobs to be plentiful, and the safety to be top-notch. However, the current city council is letting growth get out of control. If you have school-aged children I would steer clear of Wake County schools for at least a few years while they convert many Cary schools to Mandatory Year Round schedules - a proven failure in many other parts of the country. Wait to see if a new school board gets elected that will actually listen to their constituents and not tear families apart. Wait to see if we elect a Cary Mayor who will get involved in this major problem with our schools and not just say 'not my jurisdiction, nothing I can do.' Cary can be great - but it is currently spiraling out of control.

I pissed off a few people on this subject a while back, but every once in a while I go back to the blog to see what people are saying. Encouraging to see other people who share the same dissatisfaction with our mayor's leadership in resolving the schools crisis.

Betsy has been here just a little over a year and is now a native. Now she just wants to stop the growth! Typical of the last one in, first one to complain ilk.(Finally a chance to use this icky right wing word.)

“Build a moat and raise the drawbridge, but not until we get a good grocery store like back home.”

It is true that we do not need many more like those who pick a place to live based on a magazine survey or in the case of the lawsuit group, a Realtor Web Page! "Heavens, the grass is not as green as it was in those glossy pictures on the web. Someone must make it right."

The real natives cannot afford to pay for all of the perks these folks seem to think they are intitled to have.
