Moved from NYC to Atlanta 12 years ago. Nothing wrong with Atlanta, but honestly speaking. no one actually moves from NYC to Atlanta and truly thinks it’s better. The ONLY reason people leave NY is because of the cost of living. If money was no object i’d definitely go back to NY and buy a nice brownstone. I at least moved near transit down here. You’ll be surprised how much more you’ll appreciate the subway once you don’t have it anymore, because TRUST ME the rail system down here sucks. I definitely get why people leave NY, i’m guilty of it too, but please do NOT move down here and live in one of these far reaching dead zones like Gwinnett county or Canton or Snellville. You’ll NEED a car or you’ll be royally FCKD.
As someone who grew up in the NY/NJ area, I agree with you 100%! There is no place like NYC IMO. I moved to WA state over 23 years ago and Seattle has been a huge disappointment to say the least! My husband and I will probably retire to either NC or Tennessee because it will be more affordable on a fixed income but if money were no object, I would go back to the NY area in a heartbeat!!!
@@leereidphotographySame here. I grew up in the Bronx and live in NYC for 40 years. NEED to get out as fast as possible to the Peachtree state. I will be moving to Atlanta next year.
Moved from Queens to Atlanta in 2006 @ 30 yrs old and haven’t looked back since ❤ One thing I didn’t consider though is allergies 🤧 If you suffer with minor allergies in NYC be prepared for full blown chronic symptoms after moving to GA… it’s essentially a giant forest 😬🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
As someone who’s born and raised in Georgia and been here all my life, Atlanta has become flooded with northerners and they have literally changed the culture and vibe of the city. Anyone moving down here from NY should feel right at home because y’all have colonized Atlanta to be NY
Georgia is a much poorer state than that of New York or California. Georgia’s lower cost of living goes hand in hand with the lower earning potential of its workers.
This is such a lie. I live in Northern California and it's also very segregated. NYC is truly the only place in US I have seen with massive integration.

If people could afford it nobody would leave NYC!! Its the most culturally diverse city, some of the best restaurants, museums and institutions in the world. Beautiful parks and historic buildings and neighborhoods, fast pace, exciting, open 24hrs and is beautifully gritty!!
You are required to have a permit to legally own a gun in Georgia. You aren't required to register your gun. You also must have a legal gun to conceal carry. Of course, criminals with illegal guns don't care about the guns. That's not unlike NY.
That's not true. Born and raised in ATL, Buckhead is the MOST pricy place in ATL, thats where all the celebrities' and influencers stay and people with big money jobs. All apartments there are 2200-6000 ! There is no where in ATL for 600-750 rent that is a lie. Even if he wanted a 1 bedroom in Buckhead 1600-2400. @@mousedream1550
You need to up the rent to at least 1300, for a two bedroom in ATL, Try "Elliot of Abernathy" "Point of canyon ridge" those apts are very affordable and in a great location of ATL. Also "The bishop apts" 1160 Hammond apts

Bro i used to live in london and moved to atlanta i feel you I feel london was even more connected than new york its kinda mid in atlanta tbh
No need to watch this video. Made this move from Bronx to Gwinnett 8 years ago. Best decision ever. 14 minutes saved....
ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS CRIME IS WAY UP IN GWINETT...STOP LYING GEORGIA AND GAYLANTA ARE NO LONGER A GOOD PLACE TO MOVE AND RAISE A FAMILY.😡
I’m in the Bx too and am thinking about moving to Gwinnett too.

Moving from NYC to GA in a couple months and I am willing to give up my local bodegas and bagels! Thanks for this video 😀
I’m a born a raised Spanish New Yorker (the BX) wanting to move to GA. This video hit the spot. Rethinking if I should. TY for the video.
Me too, I’m in the Bx and am thinking about moving to ga.
🌱 9:12 Yes indeed 🏠🏡 Georgia has a Wonderful Affordability. I'm here in Georgia for the Financial Affordability. 🍃
Great video! I was considering these two but after visiting both fell more in love with New York. And this video just helped me solidify my decision.

Have you visited the Marietta Diner? Open 24/7 and have the largest menu I've ever seen, and the portions are huge.
Why are so many people loving to Atlanta? There’s a ton of NY and NJ people moving here. Why? The city is getting ridiculously congested.
One of the few places left that is cheap but big city. Getting beyond congested.

It’s paycheck to paycheck in nyc regardless. People are just fooled by the inflated pay rates.
🌱 5:20 Yes! Yes! Yes! Northern California is so Integrated that We are Raised with Freedom of Expression & Racially Comfortable with "Everyone" 🍃

I plan on moving to Atlanta from Austin and I can’t wait! Thank you for these videos
The welcome mat is ready for you!
It’s exxxxpensive now
Expect a sit on the freeway for the rest of your life
Says everyone from basically every state where people are relocating! N0 surprises there!

Which is the best and cheapest way to travel from/ to NYC and Atlanta, Georgia?
Moved to GA last year and originally from Long Island. Any recommendations on how to meet ex-pats from NY now living in Atlanta?
I also moved here from Long Island. Good to see there are more of us lol

I’m in north Jersey and considering moving to Georgia. I really don’t want to give up a good bagel 😢
Where did you finally end up at. We moved here and I hate it here. Maybe it's the city we are in.
I’m from NY and moved to Atlanta. What are some good pizza places you recommend?
It's too hot to move fast slow down and relax lol
Hi! Is a 2bedroom $1000 rent possible in the city (Atlanta)? 👍
You can get a 2 bedroom luxury apartment at the heart of Atlanta or Buckhead for $600-$750 tops. It's EXTREMELY cheap in Atlanta.
In the hood, not the city

Atlanta sucks, NYC is the greatest city in the world, if could afford it.
