When comparing two items, use the comparative form. So, which city is BETTER. When comparing three or more items, use the superlative form. So if you were comparing Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville, you could say which is BEST.

North Carolina has roughly two cultures, East and West. The Eastern part was settled by more affluent people mainly from Southern England and because of that it has a non rhotic accent. Raleigh is the center of that culture. Since is historically was more affluent and being the capital, the area has Cary, NC which is a wealthy area of the Triangle. Asheville is also an Eastern city even though it’s in the West. This is because many rich people from Raleigh would spend summers there before air conditioning became widespread. The Western part was settled mainly by people from Southern Scotland and Northern England. The Western accent is by consequence, rhotic. By rhotic I mean the r is pronounced in words like mother and father instead of mothuh and fathuh. The Western part has also been historically poorer and the East has generally looked down on the West because of that. This is confirmed by one commentator here saying Raleigh is more ‘civilized’ which just proves the prejudice is still there. Charlotte broadly represents the West and its upstart reputation as the region has developed over the last 50 years or so. There are pros and cons to each region but know there is a rivalry between them that has been at times bordering on animosity and sometimes violent. Right before the Revolution we had the Regulator Movement (aka the War of Regulation) between the two cultures. It’s also interesting that at the time the Raleigh area was considered the western area of colonial settlement and Raleigh was made the capital due to it being more centrally located in the state.

was just thinking about the day. I live in Raleigh and in terms of living, Raleigh is 100% better to live in. However I absolutely love visiting Charlotte

Raleigh is more civilized. Better traffic. Better cost of living. Charlotte has more breweries, and more traffic… way more traffic.

Charlotte is more of a city versus like a big town like Raleigh. Younger people probably will prefer Charlotte versus slightly older ones with children or even without children they probably will prefer Raleigh.
