groupthink--on Bay Area hammered by loss of jobs: Lack of affordable housing strangles hiring

if by "brown people" you mean hispanic, that doesn't do much good for OP, who is most likely asian or indian. hispanic kids are even worse than white kids when it comes to making life hell for asian kids.

take my word for it, do it for your kids and stay in california. figure out a way to make the money. just figure it out dude. rent forever if you have to, and don't tell anyone. do whatever it takes.

being harassed and ridiculed endlessly for being non-white (i'm guessing asian or indian) somewhere inexpensive and 90% homogenous (white or hispanic or black) will produce extremely negative results, to put it mildly. dealing with racism on TV and in movies is one thing, dealing with it in real life is an entirely different proposition.
