(Atlanta native) I agree with you about Atlanta on everything except 2 things.
1) The weather here can get kinda crazy. Schizophrenic even, one day it could be 80, then 50 or 30 then 70. Mostly when the seasons change, and it can get really hot 80+ all summer (which I personally love as a southern native. I just spent at summer in California last year and found out that alot of people don't though). And in the winter we have a few really cold days but its mostly 30s.
2) If you are living in the suburbs crime rate is low to negligible, the city is another story.
But aside from that on cost of living, tolerance, etc. you are very correct.
Just thought I would share
- abbasmehdi 15y agoThanks for sharing. We were trying to avoid harsh climate - like Chicago winters or Miami summers. I'd rather deal with 'schizophrenic but cut off before the extremes' spikes than constant, months long punishment. Are the burbs nice? :)
- wh-uws 15y agoGorgeous. You'll love it. Look for a place in Marietta, Alpharetta, or near Emory's campus (Druid Hills i think they call the area) for the nicest places to have homes and Midtown and Atlantic Station for the nicest condos (in the city, we just call it downtown here).
