Not a fan of consolidation of the top players. Smaller ones - yes. It’ll give them the scope and resources to provide innovations and new cost.
The deal with the GA system will be better because I would imagine there is increased overlap and probably a more robust amount of healthcare options in GA
This may not be completely dead. Notice the use of the word "suspends". There is speculation that this merger will resurface, and the suspension of talks is being done in order to lobby state legislators and others in order to create a consensus for the merger.
Charlotte and Raleigh both continue to grow, but in very different ways
Contrary to popular perception, the United States is continuing to become more suburban and at a faster rate, with a few exceptions, according to an analysis by The New York Times.
In North Carolina, Charlotte is building up, while Raleigh is building out.
The Times used data to debunk “the myth of the return to cities” by showing that cities like Seattle and Charlotte are becoming more dense while Raleigh and Austin sprawl.
Metro areas in the U.S. are split as some become more dense while others sprawl.
Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, Hartford and Charlotte all became more dense from 2010-16, according to data from the 2016 census county population estimates and occupied housing unit data from the U.S. Postal Service.
San Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma City, Houston, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Fla., Orlando, Dallas, Salt Lake City and Raleigh all became less dense during the same period, the Times reported.

Do you invest in any of these enterprises or is this just for fun? The SimCity fantasizing is quite entertaining. However, I miss the old Charlotte quite a bit. The last time I was in Uptown Charlotte it felt like the urban version of Cary NC. It was very homogeneous and stale. The corporations who own those skyscrapers could obviously care less about the people scale of the area.
