I have decided to sell my house and move out. Help me decide with these factors- I am in my early 30’s with my spouse and two kids. Have been in NC for almost 7 years from the day I landed. I think I got stuck in a dense Indian neighborhood and it is shitty ugly politics in here and I want to be in a more mixed crowd than just this. Help me decide if I should stay in Raleigh or move to Austin I am huge into motorcycles and how is the motorcycle community in Austin ? I own an S1000RR TC : 150k
I moved to Austin recently. DM me for any questions or use this thread
How do you like the weather ? Is it humid or just hot ?
I went from the Southeast to Austin (and back). Austin is not nearly as humid as the Southeast. Californians seem to find it humid though. Allergies can be bad, especially the cedar pollen.
Oh yeah. Was your realtor white? White realtors tend to put PoC in certain areas. They do that of all PoC. Next time, get an Indian or African American realtor—they won’t do that to you. Try Austin. NC is “da Souf” confederate style, lol. Austin is neon-bright-blue, much better situation. Good luck.
Realtor was Indian but this was a new development so no idea who my neighbors were going to be and it ended up bad for me. Thanks!!
The south gets a bad stigma. It’s not really that bad.
What poc?
PoC = People of Color (non-yt people)
PoC != “white” AND PoC !=“black”
Will I be okay with this TC?
Are you okay with it?
Meant to ask will this TC be enough in Austin
Did you like there more than Raleigh? Is it kid friendly ?
Yes summers are hot however it’s nothing like a Houston or other cities on the coast as it’s relatively dry here. I happen to be in Tech and a Realtor so I’m familiar with the demographics of the city and tech culture. Any questions I’m happy to answer them.
Awesome! I will DM you for some real estate advice!!
planning the same thing. Surprised to see so little votes for Raleigh. The whole RTP area is developing very fast and the weather is overall better
Raleigh sucks when you compare with Austin w.r.t number of jobs and companies. No major tech companies when you compare with Austin. Most of the companies in Raleigh are looking to cut the costs so moved here.
If you have already decided to move out from NC then why is Raleigh as an option in your poll?
I would be curious to hear more about your Raleigh experience since I just moved here, and I suspect I'm in one of the neighborhoods you are talking about (I'm white though). I've not seen anything like that personally though
Even I haven’t seen personally. So far it is good
Yeah same, not that I get out much but I'm in the Briar Creek area and it seems pretty nice to me
Politics within the Indian community or at work ?
Within the community.
What do you mean? Like a HOA?
