I grew up in Atlanta and highly recommend it.
- epistasis 5y agoI have some dear Santa Cruz friends with a toddler that just informed us that they are moving to Atlanta next month. Her mother and her entire family grew up near Santa Cruz, but all her siblings have migrated to Atlanta, because of housing, and her mother finally did too. Without family support, they've decided to leave now too. They have good jobs, just not good enough to rent more than a two bedroom hovel. This is the story with pretty much any friend that doesn't either come from a family with enough wealth to manage down payments for all the kids, or a crazy-high income from the right type of job. If we keep in pricing out everyone except for those with family wealth or high incomes, we will lose most of the people that make California great and interesting.
- janeroe 5y agoAren't you concerned that Californians will turn Atlanta into Little California by supporting the policies that caused the problems they are fleeing in the first place?
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoI wouldn’t necessarily assume that the people who support the policies causing California’s problems are the same ones who are leaving.
