Hi mamas and papas,
I need some help because online and census statistics only help me so much. DH and I are both writers and designers. We are able to work from anywhere. We have a two year old and are expecting our second. We currently live in NYC, but no longer want to stay here. The most important thing to us is liberal-minded people and a good amount of diversity. My husband is afro-caribbean and I am Russian, so we are looking for a place that would accept us and our children and not make them stand out like sore thumbs.
Here are my priorities. Let me know if any or all of this sounds like your town:
1. GREEN. Eco-consciousness, fresh air, fresh water, places to hike and explore
2. MULTICULTURAL I want my son to go to school with and interact with a diverse population
3. Reasonable cost of living. By that I mean renting a 1 bedroom apartment for less than $650.
4. Good public schools.
5. Culture. Art, Music, LIBRARY is a big one.
What do you guys think? ANy suggestions? I would prefer eastern U.S. to be closer to family and friends.
Thanks ahead of time!
