Would You Rather Live In A Predominantly Black Area With Mice, Or A Nicer Area With Anti-Black Racists?

Point of View:
You are searching for rental properties because you're tired of mice and mismanagement in your current rental. You're okay with some of the neighbors who look out for you and hold your packages for you, but the mice, uncaring office staff, and poor maintenance staff ruin things for you. Property management sucks and some of the nearby neighbors can be noisy, especially upstairs. Trash management also isn't the best.
You try to find a better place to live, but all of the rentals within your price range have the same or worse issues than the current rental you are in. One day in your search, for rentals, you come across a nicer rental with many amenities and features that may be within your budget. The area is cleaner and well-maintained. And it's almost easy to breathe.
Here's the problem: Both the property management and residents are racists who may try to make you uncomfortable or start things with you.
So, would you:
A. Move or stay in the rental with mice in a predominantly Black area with okay neighbors.
OR
B. Move into a nicer rental where mice are unheard of as the mice are replaced by racist neighbors (including Karens and Kyles), racist office staff, and racist maintenance workers that may give you a hard time, may call the police on you, and will not look out for you or have your back.
