Rate these cities from most desired to least as a black man.

High concentration of tech jobs there, and I think the weather issue is over exaggerated. I'm there multiple times throughout the year and its really only an issue late fall/winter.

Yooooo.... Cars was sliding down hills in a winter storm... And it gets dark in the early evening

Research Triangle Park is in Durham the Home of Black Wall Street

Shout out to Bull City

Gonna have to eliminate philly..lack of talent there plus less tech jobs than other places listed though I have a strong connect there (he's in financial though)

Thanks for the feedback thus far

Are you in the Southern area near South Mountain or Tempe?

Yes I am actually.

 

[Xane Vic]

The only city on that list worth a fukk is Seattle.

How often do we get winter storms in Seattle though?

Yeah it gets darker early in the winter, but come summer time we get more hours of sun then the southern states. Fair trade off to me. Rather have more daylight when it's warm.

As a black male.

Virginia/DC
Philly
Raleigh

Just for great opportunities I would recommend Seattle, Raleigh, DC, and Austin's tech industry is booming too.

Can't go wrong with Denver, Nashville, or San Diego either, but I wouldn't recommend them.

If it were up to me I'd choose between Raleigh and Seattle.

I work in tech so I picked these for a reason. Not every career path offers a black person to live in a place such as Atlanta, which I have lived in, with a strong black experience.

Anyway I have listed some of these places I would at least consider career opportunities to move. Some I omitted like Phoenix, Boston, or San Francisco because fukk those places. Anyways here's my list.

-Seattle, WA
-Austin, TX
-Raleigh, NC (Research Triangle Park in particular)
-Northern VA / DC Area
-Philadelphia
-Nashville
-Denver / Fort Collins
-San Diego

Discuss.

replace raleigh with Charlotte

Hm, Seattle has been close to being nixed off my list because of the extreme weather but great summers? Hm..I have been intending to visit it.

 

[ball15life]

I would say either DC area or The Triangle. Carolina is criminally underrated. Low cost of living combined with good pay and lots of us out that way.

I'm definitely feelin the DC area for the short time I've been up here though

Where did you hear that Seattle has extreme weather? We do get an abnormal amount of grey skies and rain (currently sunny), but we get next to zero snow and no humidity in the summer. Come summertime there isn't a city I'd rather live in then Seattle.

I'm from Raleigh, the whole RDU area is so slept on. Growing area for black professionals with great HBCUs, plus relatively lower cost of living and a highly educated population.
