@@Fe-Bean From my perspective its Absolutely a negative impact. It's crowded from so many people moving here because it's legal. Traffic has increased, even with the light rail user's etc. Definitely not like Cali or ATL traffic but it can be a headache for sure. The cost of living is too high. There isn't really a cap on rent prices so for 2-3bd apartments that were $800-1000 before it's $1600-$2000/month, housed for rent are even higher. Average is $1800-2k for a decent location with good school. House prices have double so it's definitely a seller's market. And lastly people are having to move around. It's becoming cool to live off of Colfax on the farther west side which used to be a no go ever in life LOLOL and some areas are becoming more rundown since they could not afford to stay. Regentrification at it's finest.

I have been to Utah, you guys have the best snow for skying ( I then lived in Colorado). Iowa snow is completely different, it is wet and heavy. The snow becomes ice minutes after it hits the grown. I don’t know why but its takes forever to melt. So one is constantly looking at melting piles of dirt over a period of 4 to 5 months... it is depressing. The weather is bad during the winter because it is alway cold and grey. The cold is bone piercing and relentless. During the summer it hot and humid. Really humid, you feel as if there is a thin film of dirt on your skin. You bathe and shower constant to get rid of it. It’s nice hang out in a Weather controle space and dread getting out... Spring is perfect though. I love the changing colors and the lovely 72 degrees. Hope this help.

I would suggest that you look into West Des Moines, N Cedar Rapids or perhaps E Marion. Avoid at all cost south Cedar Rapids and E Des moine, they are community in decline. Chicago thugs are invading these communities... If you are looking to live in a bigger city, choose Des Moines. It has a lot more to offer in terms of food and entertainments. Cedar Rapids is okay too, but it might drive you crazy if you’re moving from a big city. $600 will get you a large 3 bedroom apartment here in Cedar Rapids or a house if you don’t mind doing yard works. Everything Is within 15 to 20 minute drive. Iowa is a decent place to live if you don’t mind the harsh winter or the sweltering summer.

Thanks for video. Have you or your family experienced racism in Iowa ? Well does it happen often is the better question?

Moving to ottumwa, but concerned about less than 4% African American 😬 fear for my 5 children growing up not loving their skin vs living here in Washington state

Peachy♡ Ottumwa is pretty small and pretty white. I understand where you’re coming from and I sympathize. When I moved to Cedar Rapids 8 years ago I was pretty naive about race and race relation. You see I grew up in Haiti things are really different. Anyway, I have grown a lot since and I have taught my kiddos how to love themselves and how to maintain a true sense of self. Our experiences, have been positive so far. Thus, it would be great if you could teach your kiddos about race, and race relations, and how to maintaining a true sense of self too. It is vital to also allow them that time to find where they fit. Good luck mama. You got this ! Much love 💞

Thank you so much for your encouragement and advice 💖 Washington is a melting pot, but I really want our family to slow down and enjoy life, NOT things. We've visited Centerville before and fell in love. Only thing is I've never experienced real winters, and am terrified of Tornadoes, Thunder and lightning, and floods 😅 oh well. I'm sure we'll be fine

Peachy♡ You will be okay. A bit of planing and learning about small town culture will take you a long way. My husband and I traveled the world before settling in Iowa. I was shocked (or should I say shooketh ) about everything the small town living mentality. Now I am used to thing... I trust, you’ll do the same. When are you moving. How do the the kids feel about moving. Did you have a family discussion about this life change move ? Let me know.
