Real talk, Atlanta is kinda boring. Its nowhere as awesomeas NYC, LA, and DC.
Hell, Dallas > Atlanta

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
I got family at Spring Valley. I know mad people at Cambria Heights. Its funny my pops said all the Haitians who were in Brooklyn in the 80s and early 90s moved to Queens and LI in the mid 90s. I remember when i was little it was like mad Haitians in Flatbush was moving to LI and Queens. Its funny cuz i want to move in Queens. I gotta a question outside of Laurelton,Cambria Heights where are there alot of Haitians.
Is Queens more "suburban" and "residential" than Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Bronx? I hear Queens is like ATL.

Queens is weird but the closer you are to the city and Brooklyn it has apartments and condos like Brooklyn. Ridgewood borders Bushwick and looks like a Brooklyn hood in some parts. But the further you are away from the city and closer to Long Island its more suburban.That is why eastern Queens is more residential and look like long island. Far Rock tho has good parts at the beach of course but aside from its a bad hood. All in all Queens is more residental then Brooklyn. Its a good place to raise a family. Thing with Queens is the further you are away from the city the MTA service is nearly non existent. There is some spot where the closet train station is like 11 blocks away and you need a car. Where I live in Sunet park the train station is two blocks away from me. I am planning to move to Queens cuz the rent over there isnt brazy like BK right now.

So would you say Queens is where Blacks are being pushed out to, or more so where people want to actually go? I heard outside of the south obviously a lot of NYC people moved to places like CT and stuff because they are being priced out of manhattan and Brooklyn.

I wouldnt move to CT. There is alot of bad hoods. There is a reason why New Haven is call Gun Haven.
But yeah folks who are priced out of Manhattan are moving to Queens but those areas dont have much apartment buildings like Manhattan and brooklyn to take in all those people. You can say Queens is 30% urban and 70% residential. Whereas in Brooklyn its the reverse and in Manhattan there is barely any residential unless you count brownstones. Same with Staten Island. That borough is more resdential then urban. But if you have a good paying job you can move to Queens or SI in a decent apartment buidling. Same with Bronx but gentrification is being pushed uptown. Just look at the latest articles on the NY gentrification thread on what they plan to do to South Bronx.

Define Decent?
For example 45k in ATL is a Great Salary where you can do a lot assuming you dont have much debt. 45k in ATL is the equivalent to 111k in Manhattan and 76k in BK. In ATL 75-110k = you can live pretty much anywhere in the city if you want to rent and not buy, and you can buy in majority of the burbs of ATL. I would assume though that NYC pays a little more but not much to account for the inflation, for example I`m sure fast food workers in NYC still make less than 30k.

Yo aint lying that is why I ultimately want to move to ATL in the long term. 45k here is not even to go by. Decent to me is 65k-88k. Thing with NYC and the Northeast in general to own a home you need alot of bread to put a fat down payment. I be on zillow looking at the prices in Bay Ridge the neighborhood next to mines and its like from 450k-2.1 million and be like
. It ridiculous to be honest. I dont want to rent for the rest of my life. And if you stay in NY and dont have a six figure salary you cant move to the burbs and likely to rent for the rest your life. I love my city but it literally too expensive to live in. I went to an REIA meeting and alot of the folk there owned property in PA,carolians,georgia,Texas,Tennesse. They say to enter the real estate buisness in NYC you deal with alot of bullshyt and the expensive land. One of my cousins who is a physical therapist has a patient who he close to who is a millionaire. He is heavy into real estate and worked with my cousin to do a fix and flip. Crazy thing my cousin said he put the least 60k into the fix and flip while the milioaire dude put like 100K. If you have 60K in North carolina and Gerogia that alone is for one fix and flip maybe 2. But in NY that isnt enough to do one. In 10 years alot of native new york millenials are going to leave the city because its just too much.
