I just built a little house for my mom behind my house. She is nervous about moving to Charlotte from Shreveport. Can you help me think of some ways that Charlotte is a better city than Shreveport?
Here are some reasons your mother might prefer Charlotte over Shreveport:
1. Your mother will be safer in Charlotte than she is in Shreveport, as the crime rate is 40.21 per 1000 residents in Charlotte compared to 50.51 per 1000 residents in Shreveport.
2. The weather in Charlotte is substantially less humid than in Shreveport, and the seasonal change is more drastic, meaning a prettier leaf season.
3. Charlotte is centrally located to both the mountains and the beach, either being accessible between a 2 or 3-hour drive. Shreveport has no mountain ranges nearby, and the Gulf of Mexico is at least 5 hours away.
4. Charlotte has more cultural opportunities than Shreveport does: all types of museums, several theaters for live performances, and dozens of cultural festivals throughout the year. Shreveport has a fraction of the cultural experiences.
5. Your mom will be closer to you and see you more frequently if she lives in the same city as you do, particularly living right behind your house! She can get help and company much more easily.
