"Post a house in a Black neighborhood challenge (Atlanta excluded)"


  

          

Here’s what we were looking for when leaving DC. I wanted to work in government (transferability), grocery (recession proof), or healthcare (public good)
It also needed to be a four hour plane from DC as my wifes dad is getting up there in years.
Same rules loosely apply to that.
Housing requirements was a minimum of two full bathrooms, 2-3 bedrooms, built after 1981 (lead paint), centralized air.

After I got my job down here, the plan was to get a house, find the land my great grandparents worked, buy it for our family and then keep moving on. Then Tesla bought up ACREAGE and the price of land there is now forever out of reach.

So I’m still willing to hear/see what’s out there. The first time looking the furthest west we could get was Colorado but I got no job bites. Chicago was on there. But didnt make the final rounds of interviews.

It's in Larrymore which is supposed to be good for black folks. I don't know the area but maybe someone else will chime in.

I think in my second act I want to teach Black Highschoolers or Adjunct
If we ever get back North East I’m going to have to drop the 1981 requirement.
But my kids will be bigger and hopefully not flake eating age.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Glad we got in early.. not sure I would spend that much for the amount of house you are getting.

Which is why we aren’t selling.

Independence is a highway..

51 is 2 lanes each way but far from what I would call a high way.

The plan is to bring light rail from the airport all the way down independence within the next 10 years.
