[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I’m looking for may be a unicorn, but here goes.

DH and I are 40ish with three kids ten and younger.  Both of us work from home.  I despise our current locale, where DH’s job took us (he went fully remote with Covid).

I’m looking for a coastal town (Carolinas/Georgia) that isn’t overly touristy/has a sense of community.  Walkable, at least in parts.  Good schools. [b]Not completely segregated (I’ve lived in North Carolina so looking to avoid those more vicious aspects of the south - maybe it’s unavoidable)[/b].  Some sense of culture/intellectualism.  More than anything, though, is that we’re excited for access to the outdoors/the beach, and the temperate weather. (Our current locale has very long, hard winters.)

Any suggestions?  We’re thinking Charleston, Savannah, maybe Wilmington. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

I've lived all over the South, and Washington, DC is the most segregated city I've ever lived in.[/quote]
