The suburbs
I’ve been lying to myself and my girlfriend

I currently am in low cost of rent apartment complex in the run down part of my neighborhood. Most of the tenants are young(35 and under). Constant loitering. 2 corner stores(1 at the exit 1 at the entrance). Kids running through the complex all
The time. All the time loud music is blasting.

I was supposed to move last year but didn’t and told my gf that we should stay another year.

This time around she was way too keen on leaving that if we didn’t leave she was just gonna get her own apartment.

So we came to a compromise. New(nicer) apartment across the freeway. But it’s still in the same area. However even though it’s about a mile away and only separated by the freeway it’s a way different environment. We got the keys to the new apartment today and went inside and did our own personal tour n look around. My girl loved it. I hated it. No one is outside. Gated community. Neighbors look older etc
It’s BORING

deep down at 27 years old I came to terms with my real reasoning why I didn’t want to move:
I want to live In the hood. Forever. I literally never want to leave it. And now I am. For Atleast a year. And I’m already sick to my stomach. My girlfriend being pregnant is the only reason I really agreed to move

I just wanna live in a decent black neighborhood

Need not be a suburb
This was my thought process and I did find a subdivision that had a decent amount of upper middle class black families but the area around the subdivision is a shyt hole and it was a lot of older folks so you know the neighborhood isn’t going to be the same. The good thing is two of my immediate neighbors are black even though we make up less than 2% of the subdivision.

I live hood adjacent and somebody got killed up the street right after Juneteenth… feds knocked on my door cuz I got a camera and apparently the car they saw might’ve been the same car that pulled up and sat in front of my neighborhood right after I got home from work a few times. Makes me think I was being watched since I drive a foreign… time to leave. :camby:
