Best city in the USA for Black Folks

[313 wayz]

Man I don't know how niggas move around Atlanta. When is it not rush hour there? All them damn people and half of them can't drive! I don't know how many folks are there but I do know it's a damn lot

It's not that serious. You just have to learn the roads and different shortcuts.

In my experience, ATL gives you most of the benefits of an urban city without many of the headaches.

Cost of Living shits on most other urban areas at or above its caliber.

The only issue with ATL is the traffic. There is no diff roads or shortcuts to get around it. I've been here for 15 yrs and it gets worse every year. With both of my jobs, I travel the city, I know it more than most ppl that were born and raised here, u not beatin the traffic cause the road system is not built to support this many ppl plain and simple.

Fair. I guess everything is relative.

I expected the traffic when I moved here and it isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It can be horrible at times, but for me that's the minority.

But I'm not to far from work and I am a good proximity to most of the stuff I need.

I also don't mind driving - a 25 minute commute is nothing to me.

You can't have everything

LOL That aint shit.

I have a 45 minute commute and my wife has a 1 hour and 30 minute commute.

Thats alot of driving.....What city do you and your wife live and work at.....I plan on coming back to Atlanta to work next month and the commute is one thing I'm not looking forward to at all...I work in Afghanistan now and my room is about 20 feet from my office.....hopefully I can get a job not too far from where I stay bc I stay near Camp Creek.....Im in trouble if I get a job in Alpharetta

Moving to Charlotte next year once I'm done with my legal troubles cuz Maryland is getting worse and I need a fresh start. What's the employment rate down there? And anyone who hoops yall gotta show me the courts out there

I just moved from bmore to charlotte like 3 months ago. Shit is mad different. Imma say tho all that talk ppl be saying about the cost of living being cheaper.....it aint. Car insurance is lower but that's about the only significant difference(unless you buying a house...cuz rent is about the same)

I'm in the county, rent is dumb expensive here ima have to take that chance next year I won't be dolo So it won't be that bad

Thats the north east period bruh, ain't no gettin your way outta that. Yall payin for being so close to the best cities in the world.

As a nigga that live in DC yall gon have to throw some 'relatively speaking' or something in there. Bc unless you're comparing it to Montana, Baltimore is not expensive---to a working adult. Neither is the ENTIRE northeast

I'm 30 minutes north of Baltimore, I can afford a place in the city if I wanted to but I have no interest in staying in Maryland after the 2015 I had, I wanna go to NC for a fresh start

The northeast is expensive. From Boston to washington is all expensive. Salaries are generally higher to compensate however

The one thing you guys are missing when it comes to NYC.. The cost of living is higher but depending on your field you will make more in NYC than you will in any other city in the country.. So it kind of balances out.. And like someone else mentioned.. You do not have to live in Midtown manhattan.. You can live in Harlem, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Or Jersey.. You can make it work if you take your time with it..

 

[white715]

NYC is expensive, too crowed, they are pricing black people out of historically black areas, and the NYPD is maybe the most racist police department in the country.

I do like visiting family out there tho but I don't think I can live down there tho.

Harlem might as well be midtown now and Brooklyn is rapidly going that way too. The affordable areas of BK are the hoods. The Bronx, queens, Staten Island are good choices for the money.

All valid points.. My main point however is that with careful planning.. You can find a decent neighborhood in your price range well below the quoted numbers people love to bring up that are primarily in midtown manhattan..
