[UserNameless]

Neither

 

[Fart Knocker]

jersey is a dump and worthless hellhole

 

[Leasy]

Philly easily my city growing breh breh shyt turning into a little manahattan though I don't know about the future prospects of some areas but growth is growth

 

[Leasy]

Only been back here a week and already know I'm not trying to stay out here too long. I want this next move to be my last. Little background about me, from BK, lived in Florida for a 3 years. Back in BK for now til I get my money up. Not trying to move to the south again. I don't hate the south, just never felt like home. People from the east are more up to my speed. Anyways , I'm leaning more towards Philly... But I'd like to know what life is like from both places from a Coli brehs perspective...

What's your budget like homie?

 

[ManBearPig]

Neither

I agree

the OP should to packing his bags and move to Cook County if he wants adequate

 

[Carlton Banks]

I liked u left the Midwest out of the equation u a$$hole

lmaooo. I've thought briefly of Ohio. But everything I hear about Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland just makes me

What's your budget like homie?

Most I'll pay for rent in a studio/one bedroom is $1,000, but obviously I'd like to go cheaper if I could and still live in a decent safe neighborhood

 

[levitate]

Ewww, Neither.

Go a bit further south and hit up Raleigh.

 

[UpAndComing]

Mainly the noise, how close everyone and everything is to each other, the traffic, pollution, crime, overpopulation, gloomy weather... etc. I been in Brooklyn for 24 years of my life, with the other 3 in Florida. Florida was like a breath of fresh air. Truthfully, the south is real dope, depending on where you live though. There's so much more sunshine, freedom, quietness, land, and real estate down there. With all that said it's still "the south" you know, and I don't necessarily feel a sense of belonging there. The people are kinda slow, there's more racism and crookedness, and they're way too traditional down there. These were the only options on the East Coast city wise (though Boston is a thought). West Coast, outside of Cali (which will have a BIG earthquake really soon) is mostly white ppl (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Vegas) and I'm not trying to stick out like a sore thumb. If I were to go back South, I've got Dallas and Houston in mind. But I've heard good things about Philly. Jersey has a lot more driving jobs tho (I'm a CDL driver) and yeah, it's closer to Manhattan which is cool.

I'm a CDL driver too

I'm planning to move to the West Coast. Seattle, Denver, and Vegas actually have a sizable black population. I'm from Brooklyn too, so living with a 90% Black population ain't foreign to me. If the population is 15%, I can live with that

West coast got more space, do what the fukk you want. Outdoor activities. Just as diverse culturally and ethnically as NYC. One of the reasons I don't want to move to the South. Too homogenous. That bible belt culture ain't my thing

Look at fairmount/Francisville/Spring Garden neighborhood

Yeah, I never actually visited those areas. Just been going off statistics and what I read on city-data forums. I was really set on Denver at one point, forgot what it was that changed my mind. Seattle does sound and look great. It's like NYC minus the cons I listed. Anywhere where the population is too crowded is gonna be a headache. NYC got 8 million people, nuff said. Seattle seems more quiet and chill. Then again, I'm going off of youtube videos and message boards



^ that dudes channel has a bunch of different big US cities that he just drives around showing you the scenery.

Nice, imma look that dude up

I'm down to the 2 cities, Seattle and Vegas. Like you said, I like mid-sized cities. Where theres still alot of people, alot of cultures, but it's not overwhelming. NYC can get too crowded. There's really no, "get away". You drive an hour away from NYC, you're in Long Island or Mount Vernon . There's no escape

Seattle is great. Very nice city, and very walkable like NYC. Breh when I tell you the summer weather over there. Doesn't ever get over 80 degrees, and no humidity





This is another guy who talks about living and moving to Vegas

The south.... pick a city.

NY LOST 2017!

Nah. Raleigh or Charlotte is the furthest south I'd go. And that's only because I got fam in Carolina.

 

[Carlton Banks]

I hear good things about Charlotte and it's future. But I still can't do the south again...

 

[morris]

Uppity as in what? Not trying to be around bum nikkas that ain't got shyt going for themselves and looking to better myself? Yeah, I guess I am then

I did that while in NYC...it's the reason people the world over come here.

But Philly is nice...so is Chicago
