I live in San Jose and it is mostly an international community, flowing veils, head garb, many languages, etc. I am looking for a city that is more American than international, but is still diverse. It is an earshot within fun nightlife, music, and restaurants, but also quiet clean suburbs. (BTW I am SWM, late 30's, straight. Most of my friends date and marry Asian girls here in San Jose because it is primarily an Asian community. I do prefer the SWF midwestern look).I do not mind clouds and rain - friendliness of the people and good feel for the city is much more important to me than weather. Both cities are always ranked high in quality of life, but it seems Austin is the new kid on the block and Seattle is more of a has been. But Seattle real estate is supposed to be on the rise for many years to come. Please provide suggestions/feedback to help me find a city where I can call home and have a sense of belonging for the long-term.
