I've lived in several places in the South. When I moved to DC, I was struck by the self-imposed segregation. I told a guy (DC native) that and he was so offended. The South must be worse about racial sorting than liberal DC, right? No. It really wasn't. When I took the metro home from work in NW each night, all the white people got off at Capitol Hill and I was usually the only Caucasian left on the metro. |
LOL. Because hurricanes don't affect Asheville? |
Another vote for lovely New Bern. We travelled there many summers to drop off our kids at Camp Sea Gull / Camp Seafarer.

You are kidding right? Schools lol no Hurricanes yes but with no FEMA yay for you ! |
Gross no no no MAGA morons Bad schools Racism galore |
I have lived in the south its is absolutely segregated. Raleigh, Cary, Apex and Greensboro not joining the swim Club unless you are white. Charlotte too. Yeah the south is no better |
Florida people are leaving in droves Jaxsonville is disgusting . Schools suck Catholic schools sure if you want your kid abused and they are not great for education very little over sight of religious privates . The lifestyle is not healthy smoking is common , fried foods crappy grocery stores with bad produce. |

Do you think the Civil War is over? Think again. |
I grew up in New Bern and I don't think it fits. The only real walkable part of New Bern is downtown which isn't really where anyone lives. That part of town is charming, but most of it is really standard suburban sprawl. You're not going to feel "coastal" in most of New Bern, and the beach is an hour away. The high school was and probably still is fine (it doesn't offer the programs you get around here but nowhere that size will), but the middle school I went to there was the only school I look back on as genuinely bad. It might have changed, though. I won't comment on the other NC options like Wilmington or Edenton because I didn't grow up there, but I think New Bern would be a disappointment to OP. It's a place I like though. |
That’s not what temperate means, dumbass. |
I've lived all over the South, and Washington, DC is the most segregated city I've ever lived in. |
All will be devastated by hurricanes. And now that NOAA et al are being gutted, don’t expect any warning. It’s already hot as hell down there so also get ready for power outages and deadly heatwaves. Just don’t. |
I lived in Charleston and Savannah and you’ve lost your marbles. |
I agree. My boss will occasionally make anti-South comments like "because of slavery, I would never set foot in Alabama." The Maryland building that we work in is literally located on a former farm that had slaves. My god, East Coasters are ignorant. How many of the buildings and homes in this area were constructed with slave labor, including the US Capitol? This history is a stain on the nation. |
