Spot on

Can't exclude "Cost" that is one of the biggest factors for most.

Shout out New Jersey. It's #3/#4 in population Asian and % Asian. Their state university also enrolls the most Asians for a university outside of California (fourth most overall, behind Berk, Irvine, and SD). People sleep on NJ's Asian communities.

You forgot to say Arlington and Cambridge,Lexington,Waltham those are cities for all of the professionals to live in.

@@Django19 I live in Northern NJ and it's basically a paradise for Asian Americans. You have access to every Asian supermarket, restaurants, communities, etc. But the truth of the matter is, it's expensive AF. Buying a home in Northern/Central NJ is the most expensive in the country, compared to a comparable suburb in just about every other state. However, the public schools are the best in the country and it's super safe and nice. You just better be prepared to spend a ton of money, if you aren't in a high earning profession, it's not really a viable option for most.

It's 51F on most days when the rest of the world is on fire. I prefer Daly City :).

🍚🍚🍚🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Lots of cute Asian women there. I am in Northern Ca, and women from Irvine are always selecting.

Probably every Asians ideal choice.

This is the answer. But definitely not low cost!

San Gabriel valley would be better. Better food and isn’t as boring.

I work in Irvine and there are many good Asian restaurants and shops. If money was not an issue, I would rather be down on the coast in Newport Beach or Huntington Beach. Little Saigon and Garden Grove Ktown is only 20 minutes away.

I almost ended up moving there. I ❤️ Duluth Ga

Costco, H mart (Korean), Walmart, Great Wall Market( Chinese), Desi Brothers (Indian) , Jusgo Market (Vietnamese) and More. All in Duluth GA

There’s also Mega Mart and Zion market. Nearby Suwanee and Johns Creek are also good options.There are over so many good Korean restaurants in Duluth, Suwanee, and Doraville.

Excellent. We are moving to Duluth next year.

Yea but everybody moving out of Duluth, the commercial settlement still remains though. Most Asians moving up north toward Suwanee and Buford now.

where do u work?

​@@productionoutages​​people in those towns usually work in NYC or Philly with the local trains going into those cities. NJ is also well known for big pharma and telecomm industries. A lot of banks' back offices are also in NJ.

Those areas are just satellites areas of NYC. They all commute to NYC.

Hot, high crime, flood, tornado. No way Houston area

@@thomaskim5008you obviously never been to Houston. Hot 4 months of the year. Perfect weather 8 months of the year.

@@skygrey7237 You are wrong. I have been to Houston many times when I lived in San Antonio. Hot humid summer for 5 months. I am talking about near 100f. High crime. Flood. Hurricane. You are delusional. You have no clue what is a great weather as you have never been to California

@@thomaskim5008 houston is like all major big cities. It has high crime areas and areas where it’s absolutely very safe. You never lived in Houston being from San Antonio so you know crap. Cali weather on the coast is nice. But away from the coast California is a desert and gets hot like Phoenix 4 months of the year also. You know that right? Cali is also unaffordable for most Asians who are working multiple jobs to afford a home and a car. You also know that right? There are also a lot of racism’s against Asians in California. You also know that, correct? In Houston, it may be hot 4 months of the year, but it’s cheap and hardly any bias against Asians. This video is about where is the best place for Asians. Stop putting down cities that you have never lived in.

@@skygrey7237 Asians are the 3rd largest group in California, after Latinos and Whites... so discrimination is equal opportunity.... it is VERY different from what you, as an Asian, feels like, when you are in the South. There, in the Deep South --- except for a few very large cosmopolitan areas --- people still treat the FEW Asians they come across both as a strange/exotic being and someone to pat the head with ("good boy, you little China man"). Again, if you live in California, you KNOW there are so many Asians, Asians are against Asians, Asians are against others; others are against Asians (especially in to schools), and others are against one another, too... because everywhere is PACKED to the brim... especially the desired coastal areas, from San Diego, to Irvine, Long Beach, Riverside,... all the way up to San Jose and SF, where every other human being seems to be an Asian of some type. Indeed, in San Jose, in most of the better neighborhoods, you might as well pretend you're somewhere in Asia, with "quite a few Whites and Latino tourists." That's the density of Asians is... in many cities and enclaves in California. That means, of course, you're literally living like termites (3 to 4 people), because every one is seemingly willing to go into depression ---- by living with debts and nothing but hopes (of the future getting better, if you work from dawn to dusk, doing some meaningless technical job) --- in order to get a tiny but safe place that costs $5,000 to $8,000 a month. For $5,000 to $8,000 a month, you LITERALLY live like a second cousin of the King of Thailand or the 3rd cousin of the Sultan of Brunei, in the rest of the USA as well as, in 99.9% places in the world...

Spring mountain road has the most authentic Asian food in the city

In addition to that I would add Howard County too. Lots of Asian in Columbia and Ellicott City.

However, in comparison with main cities that are actually in Asia, Irvine is really not worth it. High property tax, high Mello-Roos Fee, high sales tax, need HOA for almost all properties, and you still need a car for grocery shopping. Then the only good part is it's just safer and comes with a lot more afterschool places than other "American" cities. No other advantages.. No river across the town, not quite by the sea, and no main supporting industry around it, cos the biggest industry out there is actually Real Estate.... I mean those so-called conveniences can be easily fulfilled in any main cities in Asia with 50% lower living cost: Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Tokyo, Yokohama, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, etc

@@TYZyi5ss You're completely missing the point. The people in this discussion are looking for places in the US, talking about cities in mainland China are clearly not an option and the standard of living is FAR worse than just about every single other option. Not to mention, you can't just move to China in a permanent manner very easily - especially if you're not even Chinese to begin with. Some of those places like Tokyo and Singapore could be even more expensive and have the same barriers as the Chinese cities. Moving to a completely different country is not a helpful suggestion.

@@KingKong11730 I understand the video's title is American Cities. But the video itself even mentions other cities in the world. Why can I? Also, Tokyo is not expensive at all and probably is one of the most affordable cities across all the developed countries. Do your own research and don't feel you have to get stuck in the US. Same thing for Singapore. It really depends on how you start your career in Singapore. It's only expensive when you're a foreigner. After you get their Perm card, the living cost is 80% lower.... Also, how can you say the living standard in China is "FAR worse". I'm laughing my ass off. What do you think China is? Just open your eyes. Its actual living standard is way higher than Singapore and Tokyo, especially when it comes to food and grocery. Because those 2 cities still need vegetables and meat import. But China doesn't. It's the largest export country. Food is so good and cheap. If you really live on a US meal, hey US / German supermarkets are available in Beijing and Shanghai with items purely imported with the same price in the US as well. Chinese people go, and that's not like high-end and people can't afford... Also, Shanghai and Beijing have a lot of subsidies on public transportation. Bullet Trains and Cellphone Pay are everywhere and super convenient that westerners can't even imagine. Living in China is not hard as you imagine either. You can get a job and even buy a property in China with no problem. China is the real powerhouse in Asia, and all the other countries including Japan, Korea and Singapore are pretty much all having China as the biggest export country. You might ask then why Chinese are still immigrating to the US.. Hey that's exactly your advantage as a US passport holder, with English background and Asian face to earn money in the biggest international market in Beijing and Shanghai. That's like New York level cities when it comes to almost all the aspects but with very low living costs. Lots of foreign companies' offices in Beijing and Shanghai do global pay, similar to the US. Again as a foreigner, it's not hard at all.... The US passport is only powerful when it's used overseas. You are Asian, and you want to make full use of it especially in Asia. Go abroad, open your eyes and see the world. When you're in the US, your US passport is useless

@@KingKong11730Are you implying that Asian cities have far worse standard of living than comparable US cities?😂

@@tat3179 No that's not what I said. Plenty of cities in Asia have comparable standard of living. Japan, Korea, Singapore, HK, etc. But none of the ones in China do.

Shush.. 🤫🤫🤫

Elk Grove has definitely changed over the past couple of decades. It used to be a cowboy town with lots of racism. Now they have tons of things to offer, and is also a great place to get a home to raise a family, while still close enough to the greater Sacramento area, Central Valley, Tahoe, and the Bay Area. If I'm a single person who craves to be around professionals and do things I'd rather stay out around Sac, close to Mid-Town, whereas if I'm in a relationship and wanting to settle down/raise a family, Elk Grove is a far better option.

Elk Grove has Asian mayor, Asian vice mayor, Asian State Assembly person. Costco is the Asian gathering spot.

shhhhh, keep it on the low 😅

Please be quiet about Elk Grove. I am Asian American and resident in Elk Grove CA for close to 30 years. So many people from bay area have moved to EG in the last five to ten years. Man.

Nah, New Mexico is perfect for Asians its has less than 3m people.

Exactly! Sacramento is in the Valley, which more affordable and better than the arrogant overly elitist coastal cities.

@@ivandragomiloff2356👆ENVIOUS

@@ivandragomiloff2356100% correct.

@@Stay___Strong Fung Bros being typical LA types…geographically insular and obtuse

yeah but no jobs there and you have to drive everywhere. better to live where the jobs are at.

Lots of Phillipinos

Lots of people from Saipan (CNMI) Guam and Hawaii moving there both Asians and Pacific Islanders such as Filipinos and Chamorros

Can’t wait to move to Las Vegas!!! There’s a lot of Philippine restaurants and sea food city!!!

Chandler has the mix because of Intel, Amkor and noe TSMC.

1/2 Thai and just recently moved to Mesa...never realized how large the Asian population is here in the Valley.

Cupertino, California is well-known in Silicon Valley for attracting families who value best schools and low crime.

Shit hella aggy on god

Sac is the valley, the Central Valley. 😅

Sac = a sack of..

@@Phxboy602 Mesa

Used to live 916- you gonna get push back 😅.

Yall Bay Area cats blew up the area and don't know how to drive. And I don't know about people are trying to be the Bay.

No one from Sac would ever call Sac "the Bay" that's for sure.

@@itsatrap4986these Bay Area transfers can’t drive and CHOOSE to live here in NorCal 😂😂

@@itsatrap4986- those are the East Bay people. There are they ones that can’t drive.

What about Summerlin west and north west? It’s supposed be cooler because of the higher elevation

As long as WC, ABZ, TRG, and CTB aren't shooting up Tap on Valley maybe it's good. But then again you got your kids growing up with cholos and being cholofied at MKP or Rosemead HS. LOL. So is the cost worth it? Surely your kids deserve better like Pelican Hill in OC.

Toyota's hq moved from Torrance, CA to Plano.

I agree with this one. I (Asian male) moved here with my wife (black female) recently from the SF Bay area and love it. The weather is a little rough (especially for my industry since I have to be outside all the time), but so much more affordable. I bought a house recently and not long after an old friend of mine bought one in the SF Bay area. My house is less than half the price, newer and bigger.

lmao sounds like a bit of overexaggerating, but it does suck in WA because the people are mostly lame/weird and the cloudy weather sucks.

@@DavidW.-nt7li I wish it was, but I've never had any problems with anyone except with most WMAF couples. Too many reasons why I refuse to date an Asian women again. I dated out to European and Hispanic women in my mid 20s and it was the best decision I've ever made in dating.

Yes Washington state hates Asian males. Only prefers WMAF.

Those people are going to fucking pay

@@Frostyrnb77 Just avoid the garbage and focus on your goals. I also recommend traveling to Asia and meeting girls there. Most are better (beauty and personality) than the Asian girls you will find in US.

As long as you live in the Country and not near the hood going to Pomona.

@@ShortLifeHax tacos are better over there

Yep, local Sac people HATE people from the Bay; they drove the house price insanely high for most of the residents are mid-income state employees. They can't afford house anymore. 😂

@@pigboykoolyou must talk to broke haters

Sure, but then you'd have to live in Georgia. Besides being the South, those summers aren't a joke.

@bazimyan today was supposed to be super hot here. Not too bad compared to Cali Inland.

@@bazimyan doesn't matter, all Chinese people wanna do is stay indoors, door dash, and be outdoors only to wash their Teslas!

@@latlj1283 the difference is that California has dry heat, unlike the East Coast and the South so it's far easier to get cool and avoid it. I'd take a 100 degrees California heat anytime over Georgia's 90 degree heat since that'll inevitably come with humidity.

@@bazimyan You are correct. but Atlanta was over 95 today and it was not very humid. By the way some humidity is good for your skin. Also a great air quality with a beautiful blue sky and cotton clouds. lol. Don't get me wrong, Southern California cities along the ocean has the best weather in the world.

just dont open a wig store?

Im scared more on places where the people are religious. Religious people scares me.

@@mikeparker6322 I live in Enterprise. Beer is sold on Sundays now. Hyundai auto parts factory in Enterprise. It’s slowly growing.

lol here in northern Virginia. I live in Herndon/ centreville. Lots of Asians here, leesburg as well! Yup MD casino lol that’s mostly Asians.

Asians are getting attacked in Oakland because the original Oaklanders assume that Asian Americans have money. If you read the original Oaklanders' KZfaq and Twitter comments, they label Asian American as unwelcome "invaders" of "their neighborhoods" in Oakland. They are angry that Asians open up shops that cater to Oakland's Black population (e.g. hair products/services). If you have elderly Asian parents, then advise them to stay indoors once the sun sets if you live in Oakland. The knock out game has been going on for more than a decade in the Oakland/SF area, where youths from gangs brag about their ability to knock out elderly Asians with a single sucker punch to the elderly Asians' heads. If safety is high on anybody's list, then think twice before moving to Oakland.

Sacramento is 2 hours from SF. Definitely not part of the Bay Area. Houses in Sacramento is more affordable, but just the weather is too hot

That's cause it ain't the Bay. It's the Valley.

Because Sacramento county isn't one of the nine counties that make up the Bay Area so why would anyone consider sac as part of the Bay area? Should we also include San Joaquin county as part of the Bay just because it's nor cal?

Yep, the drive from Sac to Bay is easily over 2 hours now due to more people moved to Sac from Bay,. Now, local Sac people HATE Bay people now cause they drove the house price insanely high. Most residents are mid-income state employees. They can't afford house anymore🤣

Eventually it will connect. Merge into a megatropolis

Dal/Hou good? Yeah I'mma stay far away from triple K - "historians estimate there were up to 10,000 sundown towns in the United States between 1890 and 1960, mostly in the Mid-West and West"
