Buying a house is 90% location. There is a reason you can find 4000 sq ft houses for 450k, because the location is complete ass.

For the average person, having an amazing house in the middle of no where isn't very appealing.

Texas is like the size of four or five states combined.

Of course it's going to have a large population of any group.
Perhaps but the vast majority of that population is in and around the Triangle which is about the area the size of Georgia if not smaller.

Georgia has about 3 million Black people.

Texas has about 3 million Black people.

Georgia really only has one major city: Atlanta

Texas has Houston, Dallas-Ft Worth, San Antonio, Austin, etc.

If Georgia had another Atlanta, which I've argued that the Savannah area could be, Georgia's Black population would dwarf that of most states.

Fort Worth is a nice city but the 450K house is in the sticks. But other than that I would still.take the dive.

A lot of you non East Coasters gotta realize. NY by far has the best overall day/night life in the country. Its all about what you value.

Yes fort worth is a distance from dallas. But all of fort worth isn't the sticks.

shyt you can buy a 450k house in north dallas and it is still twice as big (plus made out of brick and damn near new) than that cracker jack box you saw in NY.

This is what 430k gets you in north dallas (right by everything)

By the latest estimates, Texas has the most AA alone and other shyt alone. Florida is 2nd in both too.

https://factfinder.census.gov/faces...iew.xhtml?pid=PEP_2016_PEPSR6H&prodType=table

*correction, Florida is third here as of 2016. They are 3rd in black alone. Georgia is 2nd in black alone and NY is 2nd when you add hispanics with it.

All the states with more than 2,000,000 Black people (GA) have mutiple large cities that drive those numbers.

Georgia really only has Atlanta as a large city.

That Alabama-Georgia-South Carolina-North Carolina corridor is Blacker than Texas by a long shot in terms of land versus population.

Let's not pretend that San Antonio and Austin has a large black population tho. Or either Corpus, El Paso, Amarillo, or Lubbock. Both SA and Austin combined have around 300k. Only Dallas-FW and Houston has over a million. So I'll your What if with Savannah and raise a Austin, or a Beaumont, or one of East Texas towns in Tyler, Longview, or Marshall.

That's fine, however 3.5 million black people with most of that being in the Eastern half of Texas is still 3.5 million black people. Not to mention, it sits adjacent to Louisiana and Southern Arkansas which are both highly Black populations.

New York is the money making capital of the world.

Ppl come here because of the life and the earning potential.

The ppl living in these "shoeboxes" are likely making anywhere from 300k-1m a year.

most people in nyc dont make anywhere near 300k-1M

If Savannah were poppin' like Atlanta as a destination for Black people from North Florida, Georgia's Black population would be 4 million or 5 million, easily.

Columbus is right on the Alabama border. If it ever gets poppin' as a draw for Black people from Alabama, Georgia's population would be in the 6 million range, breh.

Texas is helped in that DFW, as a major metroplex, draws Black people from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Northern Louisiana. Houston serves to draw Black people from Southern Louisiana. Plus, Katrina helped boost its numbers.

Georgia really only has Atlanta.

Imagine if a hurricane were to devestate Northern Florida somehow. Where do you think those people would go?
