Hello,
Of course no city is going to meet all of these criteria but just work with me here, LOL and give me some suggestions as you see fit. I'm looking for cities and specific neighborhoods to relocate to. TY!
- born and raised in suburban NJ, used to intern in NYC. Not enough entry level jobs there. I want to relocate for more job opportunites, better pay. 26, black female, single, college educated.
- HATE driving, want to get rid of my car and rely on pub. transportation
- want to get into the paralegal, legal assitant, field. make at least $35,000 per year.
- diverse neighborhoods, or at least ones where it's not going to be a racial cat fight like "Do the Right Thing" movie, lol.
- LOW crime, working professionals, not a frat boy environment but things to do in the city - bars, good food, social/cultural events, etc.
- rent 1 bdroom apartment no more than $900 per month (with utilities), prefer a high rise or mid rise.
- weather conditions? you tell me.

If you can stand rain then Portland Oregon would be perfect. its a good mid size town not too small or large. everything else is suitable to what you are asking. i have been to Phili, NYC, Newark NJ, Camden NJ and i know that this area is amazing in comparison.
email me if you want more info.. i can send you housing info and arrange a moving company. I guess I am just that good. ;)

Have you considered Las Vegas. The only thing on your list that would not work here is the no driving thing. It is possible to use public transportation here, but it doesn't always go where you need to go. everything else on the list is a go, nice weather, diverse neighborhoods, good job opportunities. lots to do. rent is still reasonable.

The jobs, weather and low major crimes ....outskirts of L.A..in Orange County...rent will be tight...public transportation is not admired here but is efficient.Many paralegals work at a law office as a contract hire. Racial catfight are in L.A. and Compton.t
