Well.... we're moving back to NY ASAP  We were supposed to move June 1st but we extended our lease so we can buy a house in NY instead of renting again.
It's much different than NY. We lived in the middle of nowhere in NY and it took us a while to get places. Well, it takes us just as long going 5 miles around here as it does to go 50 miles in NY. The traffic is awful and the Bible thumpers scare the heck out of me. 
Bellsouth sucks, Charter cable sucks and even though we live right by the Mall of Georgia, the stores suck. Everything is commercialized around here. We didn't explore the city of Atlanta too much, but what we did see was rather small and unimpressive.
The cost of living is cheaper (compared to NY). There's way more house rentals and new constructions. We're in a developing area. New buildings and houses are going up non-stop. Then you get surprise bills like $256+ a year car registration that you don't get in NY and other states. 
Atlanta, GA is a great place to visit but I don't like living here. |
you all moved into a shitty area, with shitty traffic and shitty everything
you didn't plan your move out AT ALL, you jumped into whatever the realtor told you to
Atlanta is a wonderful and amazing place with some of the most diverse music and arts scenes I have ever scene without any of that shitty "big city" attitudes you find in NYC and LA
the ONLY problem I have with Atlanta is when you drive 20 miles in any direction you are in Georgia
Atlanta is a wonderful liberal place with amazing things to do and see all the time, Georgia is a redneck ignorant republican filled cess pool.....I don't mind republicans, I don't mind rednecks, but when someone is being interviewed and says "yeah, I voted for george bush cause he don't like them gays", then we know there is a ignorance problem
overall though, georgia is a wonderful and beautiful place
do not listen to whatever Furious_Female says though, she and Napolean didn't do any research before moving...hell, I don't even think they visited...hahah
