Of course it does. Wake County has more people in it than any county in the State[SUP]1[/SUP] (plenty of build-up on the border on Johnston, Franklin, Granville, Chatham and Durham Counties for some reason....I wonder what that might be....). The fact that when the board flipped to Dems, they immediately raised taxes[SUP]2[/SUP] (rather than be responsible and cut existing waste) is one of the primary reasons people move to the suburbs[SUP]3[/SUP] in 2015: lower taxes, cheaper land and more space. It's not because people adore long commutes and hate being close to entertainment districts. Had the Wake Board decided to cut waste first and raise taxes second, they would make living and doing business in Wake County more affordable and more attractive[SUP]4[/SUP]. They didn't, to the benefit of the surrounding counties[SUP]5[/SUP]. Somehow this confuses you (mainly because it forces you to confront the less attractive sides of your belief system. We get it. Thanks). I know you can't argue with that reality[SUP]6[/SUP], and I know that because you didn't argue with it. You just decided that my point wasn't relevant (on dubious authority, but we've been here before, haven't we?) and that you didn't wish to debate me on it, so you punted but in your bitchy little way, so you can stay #undefeated in your own mind. Bravo.
