I agree with different strokes and you are free to live wherever you choose. But if you are going to use veiled racism to prove the superiority of your choices then you can be called on such.
I am not saying I think you are racist. Not by any means do I mean that. The point is there is implied racism in the ideals you posted and some use those points to justify their racism.

I disagree completely that any of my posted ideals implied racism.
Traffic has nothing to do with race.
Crime has nothing to do with race unless you're implying that black people are more likely to live in the city and commit crime. I don't think you mean that.
Cost of Living isn't about race and is an objective fact, it's far cheaper to live where I live than in Atlanta.
I work in one of the highest paying districts, teaching in my district means more money for me.
I like the pace and style of life in the burbs better than the city for raising my kids.
