me and my family moved earlier on this year after deciding that too "inner" city life just wasnt good for your health
I was never keen on bringing on raising my family in London as there simply is too many distactions and variables to raise your kids right...plus all the amenities are streched to the fullest I remember at one point I couldnt even get a dentist to pull out my teeth.
we looked into a lot of cities including Northampton and MK
Northampton was ok but there simply wasnt enough black folk to make up a viable community plus it wasnt really close to anyplace that was.
now I hated MK cos yo me it just looked like one big housing estate with a shed load of roundabouts (although the shopping center was cool)
I would take Kunjufus advice abount kent too.. My brother brought his first house there and considering it was just a stones throw outside london it was like stewpping back through time into some deeply racist hellhole from the early 50s/60s, I hated going to see him when he was there the atmostphere was soo hostile from the moment you arrive at the station..he ended up moving after a year cos it wasnt really the place for a young black man and we were all worried.
we all know that white areas do not equate to better but because of the was the system is set up here most ethnic areas are simply set up as dumping grounds and tilted towards faliure.
Only the best is good enough....
