[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a person of color, I always get envious of this thread, I don't feel like I can just take my kids and move to a random non diverse city. It is privilege no having to think about how your kids or family will fit in. Enjoy :-)[/quote]

Very few cities (especially on the coasts) are non-diverse.  Suburbs and rural areas?  Yes.[/quote]

PP here. That is exactly my point, the cities are probably going to have HCOL. Most people on this thread are not moving to big city. I am in IT and considered moving to Austin because I was told it is diverse but I visited and didn't see lot of people like me.[/quote]

I never understand the hype about Austin. I lived there for years and it has always been white dudes who think really highly of themselves with the same skill set. Not a lot of diversity at all whether it be ethnic makeup, industry, rec activities or thought. I tell people all the time that if you're moving to Texas, you should go to Houston. Every minority group is well represented there and the economy is more diverse. Arts are better and people considerably less pretentious. [/quote]

Hmmm. I live in Austin. My family is multi-racial. If I look around at the houses I can see from my house, there are 3 same gendered couples, two immigrant families, 2 Black families, and my kids' neighborhood school, which is 3 blocks away, is 40% White. So, I think it depends, like in every city, where you go within a city itself. [/quote]
