Having just moved after 6 years in Philadelphia: very high violent crime, and corrupt local government w/ no interest in technology; rents are lower compared to DC or NYC but raising rapidly. While I loved going to the Philly tech meetups, most everyone was working in the suburbs, where companies are free of the high city corporate tax rate (most cities don't _have_ corporate taxes).
- laurentoget 14y agoAtlanta can probably rival Philly when it comes to violent crime and corrupt institutions.
- rayiner 14y agoCrime is a downside, but it's also one that's not uniformly distributed throughout the city. And to be fair, Atlanta isn't a low-crime city either.
