@@afritimm - Worked great for me and now our kids are raising theirs here. We love that they are growing up without car-dependency. All I ask for is that the suburbs start paying their own way instead of leeching off the cities. Until the suburbs can produce enough revenue per acre to maintain their own infrastructure, they will remain a ponzi scheme being propped up by taxpayers.
Meh, the trees are big, but it depends on where you’re coming from. If you’re from FL or Kansas then yeah the trees and hills will seem huge. If you’re coming from WA or OR or ID, Atlanta’s trees & hills seem small.
I’m in British Columbia which is very similar to Oregon and Washington, and I will say, although it can get humid it’s nowhere near as lush as it is there (Georgia) unless you’re living on the coast which is very expensive, and the trees and nature are beautiful and it’s not just tall, skinny pine trees, there are actual lush trees on the sides of the road

@@BDOKV I don’t know if coastal GA is very expensive. It’s more expensive than any other part of GA except maybe the rich areas of Atlanta’s metro…but compared to the PNW, it’s cheap lol.
@@BDOKV I don’t wanna hear humidity & the PNW states & province in the same sentence again when comparing it to Georgia & the Deep South. Humidity up here is little to nonexistent unless you live directly on the water in summer. And even then, our dry heat makes it barely noticeable. GA also has bugs like mosquitoes & roaches & snakes that we rarely have to deal with in the urban & suburban areas if at all.
I grew up in Marietta and have lived in Atlanta proper over a decade. I agree with most of this but political diversity does not exist in the city limits. Republicans are in the shadows here. You rarely encounter conservative people ITP. Look at the 2020 results. It’s 80% democratic for Fulton and Dekalb. I imagine city proper is even more progressive. I’m sure the burbs are more diverse, but you don’t want to live there. The traffic is horrific and you will hate your life.
Too much education here in the city for conservative economic policy to sell. We know better than to believe that "trickle down" ever actually trickles.
It has been said that to go to Hell you have to change in Atlanta, or maybe Russia. The same theme of wooded spaces applies to the burgeoning development of the United States of Soviet America (USSA).
I like Jacksonville because I used to live in Florida, so that sun and semi coastal lifestyle is in my blood. I also like Savannah, it’s similar to Jacksonville but a little less modern.
I’m asking because I’m currently in Seattle and thinking about relocating to Atlanta area but also considering coastal Cities . I have my son and his family coming so I’m concerned about The job market and economic development in those coastal cities . I know Atlanta is thriving from what I hear .
@@alexandriadileonardo3081 Savannah is gorgeous, very southern but with higher crime, and vey high humidity. Worth visiting but having been born here, there are better choices.Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

I love it here in Midtown. I think it would suck out in the car dependent suburbs, though.
Favorite neighborhoods in Atlanta that are still reasonably priced
The unique neighborhoods is unique and I disagree about renovation of homes.
@@aprince4u nothing unique at all about the cookie cutter suburbs with identical stroads and chain stores.

@@TommyJonesProductions are you suggesting the city residents provide more tax revenue than the suburbs residents?
Only reason i would consider ATL bc it’s one of the biggest cities close to home (Alabama)
Atlanta is a good town.
Old Atlanta is gone. It's not like it used to be
Beach in Florida is close by 4-5 hours drive

Pollen is the worst in Atlanta with so many trees

If you rent near white boomers it is far right mean republican. They vote to take away their social security and hate unions.
@@afritimm - Funny how they aren't.

If you couldn’t live Atlanta where would you live ?
Thank you for the question!! I’m not familiar with anywhere else, but I think Orlando or Jacksonville would be awesome!
Can I ask what do like about Jacksonville? And what do you think about savannah

It is better then Soviet Union of 80s when we came here for sure! But why GA voted for that red clown last night?!
