The country's 8th largest public transit system by ridership (and 5th by mileage), world's busiest airport, tons of university inside the city limits (GT, AUC, GSU, and Emory), and we have highway access too (75, 85, and 20 all run through the city). Plus housing's affordable here as well (for now at least).

Don't get me wrong, I don't want Amazon (organic job growth is much better), but I'm not sure how Raleigh is the most competitive when you have better options, even within the region.
