Scraper, you need help. People should move where they are comfortable.

And white people have a right to live among their own kind and be comfortable. Have you ever heard of a thing called "freedom of association?

All people should (and usually do) have that right -- white or otherwise. That's why we see so much self-segregation in Atlanta, for good or ill.

Some folks seem to care a lot more about it than others do, apparently. I would think people can make that determination for themselves, though. Right?

[moderator CUT] My advise is to look at areas like Braselton, Dacula, Bufor, Sugarhill, lawrenceville and Snellville.

Excuse me, but I believe that Braselton is in Jackson County.

There are areas in Hall, Gwinnett, Barrow, and Jackson that have Braselton addresses.

If you are moving with kids, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Cobb, Forsyth & North Fulton are good areas to move in. If you want to check into schools and demographics visit Great Schools - Public and Private School Ratings, Reviews and Parent Community this will give you good information on schools in the different counties.

Price range of homes differ from the area you will decide to live in.

[SIZE=3]In Gwinnett we have some of the best schools in the country, academically and athletically. With the growth over the last decade there has been more and more school involvement with and by the community. Grayson, Brookwood, South Gwinnett, and Parkview along with Greater Atlanta Christian School are some of the best schools anywhere academically and athletically.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The Hwy 78 / 124 corridor is one of the best places to live in the metro Atlanta area with great shopping, commute to work, restaurants, entertainment and local social activities. The grid of interstate and rural highways can put you anywhere on the north side of Atlanta within 30 to 45 minutes. The malls are all within minutes, Gwinnett Place is 15 minutes down Ronald Regan Highway; Mall of Georgia is 20 minutes up Hwy 20; Stonecrest Mall is 25 minutes down Hwy 124; and there is The Avenue at Webb Ginn House in the middle on Hwy 124. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If you have children they have the best athletic programs in the metro area. These programs swimming, softball, baseball, football, tennis, etc. all feed into the local schools such as Brookwood, Parkview, Greater Atlanta Christian School and Grayson High Schools which have some of the country’s top rated teams along with being rated as the top academic schools in the country this year.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The housing market is full of homes in great subdivisons built after 1990 and right now is the time to buy with interest rates still low and if you have good credit you can buy with a FHA loan with 3% downpayment. There is a 10 month inventory and some great buys. Come and see Gwinnett, I believe you will be glad you did. [/SIZE]
