Speaking as an Atlanta resident of seven years, I'm not sure about that. Atlanta is ultra-hyper-suburban and sprawling in ways arguably unmatched by even Dallas-Ft. Worth and Los Angeles, although LA's traffic is worse. It is right up there with Phoenix. Maybe if you want to live in a car (which, incidentally, is quite cheap). Midtown/downtown, where I live, are exceptions, but not so great ones--Atlanta is still a fully car-oriented city. What's more, the centre is definitely not where the corporate tech jobs are.
