First post here - been trying to do research on different cities across the US, and my searches constantly lead me to this forum. The threads I've read so far have been very informative, but deciding to make one more personalized towards me.

I'm thinking about relocating sometime in Q2 2014. Coming from NJ, but looking to live in a city w/ a great single nightlife/social scene and job opportunities. A young demographic is be ideal - would love to be around lots of other recent college grads.
(Low cost of living is also important since I'm just starting my career and paying for my own relocation, but it's not highest priority.)

I'm a 24 year-old male in IT. I feel as if both Atlanta and Houston have decent tech job markets from my research, but not too sure how they compare to each other.

I prefer Hip-hop in terms of music, but diversity is very important to me - both culturally and racially.

Other places I've been contemplating are Seattle and Charlotte (though more as after-thoughts).

That is the worst place to take it for serious relocation questions. City vs City is the clown club of city-data.

I didn't see the city vs city forum. Just signed up earlier today - still getting used to the layout.
If any mods see this thread, please move it.

Edit: nvm. I copied and pasted the thread. Feel free to delete this one.

I think C-D should have a rule - punishable by something uncomfortable - that there be no city vs. city threads ever again. Ever. Forever. Until the end of time.

HTOWN all the way


Seriously though, you should delete this thread and ask the same question again, without the Houtson v Atlanta spin. It will set off Nairobi's alerts and then we're all in trouble.

2 Questions lol

1) How do I delete the thread?

2) How would I ask the same question without asking Houston vs Atlanta?

Forgot how to delete a thread.

Just ask the questions and don't talk about Houston. Ask the Houston forum the same question.

I would also very strongly suggest visiting each city. That is one of the most important steps in making this decision.

I plan to visit between January and March. However, I'd rather continue my research now instead of waiting.

Besides, by January, I might be comparing 2 completely different cities than the ones I'm looking at now and choose to visit those ones instead.
