Out East, because of the DMV large black educated people and better opportunities
Would you rather raise a child on the East Coast or the West?

NOPE
East Coast for school, culture and networking.
Work and live on the West after college.

Breh it's not even close
The west coast is a satellite culture to the real establishment of this society on the east
The west coast is a prison farm
Service job economy
Same corporate businesses in a different order at every highway exit
Emotionally erratic females that regularly cry themselves to sleep and want to have their faces cut open so they look more like a Cardashan

Sacramento has been the best place in NorCal for black people for a solid decade now...My god…you and Sac
I don’t know, I personally preferred growing up around black community in those K-12 years and having a solid foundation in my blackness and then exploring “other” communities later in college. That said, even old school black Oakland was still diverse and it was cool knowing people of all races. When some of these southern brehs post, it’s wild to me that people really never had a white or Asian friend or can’t imagine going to a wedding or event of another race
When I'm in Sacramento I'm in Black Sacramento, so my daughters will have that exposure. It's just stating the obvious, the "black" areas of Sacramento are super mixed and integrated compared to black southern neighborhoods. So my kids will still be amongst us while also having exposure to people they otherwise won't meet in Raleigh; certainly not to the same degree of cultural exchange...
I'm with you though, I think the education on how to relate to nonblack people is easier when you're young. Granted, the school my two oldest daughters go to now is 48% Black, 33% Hispanic, 12% white; they and their mom live in a neighborhood that is 32% Black, 57% white, and 8% Hispanic. So they are mingling with whites and Hispanics between home and school, but also still being around alot of blackness as well...
What they won't see as much of here, that they'll see in California, is more ethnic groups of each race, more Arabs and Indians (those are here too but not where they live and go to school and not as deep), more Islanders, etc. And it's not just the different people I want them to experience, it's the culture. The different foods. The different weather. All the above...
It's cool that you have some pride in your city but Sacramento is a literal shyt hole and the homeless people there crawl out of the sewer literally to say anything other besides the Bay Area to say anything besides Oakland or San Francisco,it shows a lack of culture

You sound like you don't know anything about San Francisco or Oakland
Homelessness and any other negative you can say about Sacramento, is worse on those two cities. Much worse...No. It's better. The culture is better, and many that you think are homeless are actually homefreeYou sound like you don't know anything about San Francisco or Oakland
As opposed to Sacramento where they are on meth and crawling out of the sewers
Maybe the homeless are not a relevant metric to you - but hour long standstill traffic in the capitol, despite more area and less population, is an allegory for California government itself
What I am saying is ... You encounter homeless in San Francisco or Oakland and there is much more likelihood that they are going to impart worthwhile game or wisdom - if you encounter homeless in Sacramento you can hopefully get a tetanus shot soon enough
Aside from that, people from around the country go to San Francisco to be homeless
People that are homeless in Sacramento are from there or the next town over
It's not close to the same and you can only take this position for having pride in your city. You having pride in your city means that you have an optimistic outlook and that will carry with you through every city you go to so wherever you raise your child they're going to be in good hands, but it's not Sacramento

close enough; but far enough at the same time.
I like the distance. I honestly only go back with a purpose. n and out type of shyt.
I'm from Detroit so maybe I should only move as far as the east coast

The DMV and tri-state for sure. I'll take Chicagoland over the west coast too, but that's another conversation.
