West Coasters Help a bro out

[|r|e|a|d|]

Aight me and the p.i.a. been talking and we plotting a move to the west. I'm liking Seattle she liking Mission Veijo(damn hgtv). This is like a typical NYer I dont know shyt bout the west other than wha you see on TV and san Andreas. Any recommendations??? I aint trying to be in the friggin burbs but i aint trying to be in gangland either. Preferably near water (I want a boat) with decent schools tho we more than likely gonna go private. With a decent population of people with color (Orange County is 2% black folks???)

HElp me out over here

If you're an east coast nicca, iono if the Northwest is for you, playalife. It's tree huggers and chit up thurr, ESPECIALLY Oregon.

If you gonna do the bay and don't wanna be in the hoody hood, I would suggest the northeast side - Berkeley, and all that area. But I would work there, too - because commuting to the other side is a beeyiyitch. So if you gonna work in San Fran or the Scrillacon Valley (<--patent pending) I would like out there in Fairfield or Napa (but not Fremont).
