Represent Your City/Rate Your City (Black Enterprise Survey)

I'm loving Mesquite, Texas. It's right outside, nearly on top of Dallas. We moved here from Long Beach almost two years ago. Although I thought I'd never leave Long Beach, the gang rivalries (two muders walking distance from my door in two months) and housing situation is erradicating the middle class in California. Who pays $410,000.000 for West Side Long Beach for a 3br 1ba that comes equipped with Crips & Longos?
Here my kids have a great education, are safe to play outside, and dangit, my house is da bomb!!!!

I'm from Philly.
Good Grad Schools: Temple, Villanova, UPENN, Drexel, etc.
The price of living isn't too ridiculous.
Lots to do and see, especially if you're into the arts and history.
Weather is temperate, nothing too extreme.

But crime is...rising, as most inner cities. Just remember to lock your door and carry a knife and you should be alright. jk.
