What type of place do you live in? Center of city? Suburb? Rural? How diverse is your area?

Hey from Philly

Outside center city, in a I guess "suburb"...

Like my neighborhood is like 20% white, 20% black, 20% Asian, 30% hispanic, rest is mixed or "other". Seems kinda diverse

How about your area?

I live somewhere between where the great plains turns to marshes and lakes, where the summer has 15 hours of daylight and the winters only 6, and the desert side of the highest mountains where the day and night are in perfect equilibrium. I live in the empty meadow and the city, neither the suburb nor the desolate waste.

I do not reveal any identifiable information online unless it's a lie.

More hispanics than non-hispanic whites in the area, an interesting outlier. Big American Chinese community nearby. ICE hasn't found it yet but if they do I'll be ready for them.

I don't even have an attic lmfao

Unless you mean like on top of my roof, but then how did you deal with the snowstorm a few days ago? 🤔

Oh btw Flowers in the Attic is about exactly that

You don't think you have an attic. 😆

I'm in a small city suburb. Like I can drive 2 miles to a horse farm, and I can walk about 5 miles to the Capitol building. (The roads to the horse farm aren't safely walkable if you're wondering about how I phrased that. There are paved trails to the Capitol.)

I guess the neighborhood is heavily white maybe 70-80%, but I have a black family across the street and a Hispanic family next door. Three houses down is a sheriff. I know there's a couple Asian families — I think Chinese but tbh I can't tell by sight.

I don't really have anything to do with my neighborhood/neighbors anyway. It's all fine but I grew up a rural kid and I can't stand living on 1/4 acre. Being close to the trails is damn nice though sometimes.

I live in what was once (in the 1920s) a streetcar suburb, but is now considered downtown. We have owls, foxes, raccoons and possums in our neighborhood so it is very diverse....we also have black, white, asian and southeastern asian humans as neighbors in our neighborhood, but mostly white people who moved to this area for jobs.
