where i'll move when i move
as new york city can get very wearing on someone who has been her all of her natural born life, every now and then i start thinking about where i'd move to if i ever moved. often i think the bay area or the ATL are the only places i'd be interested in, but thanks to Trent i found out that's not all. after taking Sperling's Best Places quiz, I soon realized that i had done something similar before over at findyourspot. I like the results of this test a lot better than the last one...

Minority ratio and whether a place is friendly to black folks are not, IMO, equal units of measure. For example, Vancouver's black ratio is only 0.9 percent (although the overall 'visible minority' percentage is something like 38-40%), but I find that by and large it's a friendly place to be.
