Upvoted you, but RTP is like Austin, TX. Bright blue on a red background. Most people from SFC would feel perfectly at home, except for the jarring experience of buying a nice house with land and less than a 30 minute commute for under $300K. I think it's unfair a bit to single out NC specifically on HB2-like, voter ID, et al laws when it's a part of a broader national political initiative to push model legislation by one party (skirting the subject, look at the similarity in laws passed in states with conservative legislatures and executives, like how NC finds itself currently). And Prop 8 is not an invalid counterpoint. CA has a similar dynamic (progressive urban areas with conservative rural areas: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/US_House_2014.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/US_House...) to what has led to the current situation in NC. Regardless, HB2 is an embarrassing disgrace that NC has to deal with.
