Looking for some perspectives. We are thinking about relocating from Dallas to Philly in the next few months. We are in our mid-40s with an almost 1yr old and 2.5yr old. We both can work from anywhere and are looking for a bigger house as well. Dallas is appealing because we are closer to family, have more friends, centrally locates if travel re-starts & major hub that can also get us overseas if we want. Philly is home for the past 10 yrs, not many friends, further from fam....contd

Since this topic comes up once a week on here: Is having a racial preference in dating racist?

There is a wealth of research and history behind this topic.
