As a native Atlantan, I was going to come here and shoot down all of the errors in this video, but you know what? It's all correct. Everything is correct. Don't move here. Stop coming. We full.
Wouldn't come back there if it was empty. I lived in ATLANTA for 7 years. I wish I could get those years back because I would have never moved there. A huge regret.
I’ve lived in Atl all my life and was born in east side medical. The traffic is bad and the bugs can be crazy at points but not O.D. The heat isn’t terrible, it’s the humidity that really kills. I love Atlanta because you have two sides of the city. The complete utter city life where you can buy designer clothes, people watch, see you favorite artist, and so on and so forth. Or you can have a full on nature in-depth experience where you can climb up mountains that we have up in Kennesaw which is only an hour away from the city or go camping. It’s a lot of fun to be at and would completely recommend people to come down and visit and see what I mean
That's what I love about Atlanta and the metro area. I always say that it's the best of both worlds. When you want to experience the big city life, it's available. You want to experience small town or country living, it's also available. Even Fulton county has areas that have the country/small town feel despite being the county that Atlanta is located in. I live in Kennesaw, so I know exactly what you're talking about.
It's soo many people moving from other places to Atlanta bc they couldn't handle where they were. To survive or COME UP. Which INCREASED the number of people WANTING AND NEEDING ASSISTANCE. Oversaturated
Same shit happened to Charleston and Orlando so We moved out. We now live on the road cuz most cool cities are going to shit due to massive influx of people. :-(
I'm from Atlanta, born and raised. All of these reasons on this list are pretty accurate. I appreciate this list. Maybe more folks will stay away for a bit. Too many people
These aren’t good reasons. doesn’t every city have these problems every once in a while .. traffic, school problems, weather etc... but yeah STOP MOVING TO ATLANTA. We are Full!
I'm glad I never caught that Atl fever. You're now at 6 millions. That's 6 million folks that will never leave Atl. Good luck with that! It's only gonna grow higher.
I moved to Atlanta in 2016, and left the very next year. The people are fake, they are all worried about impressing each out, it's hard to get around even if you have a car, everyone is judgemental, the weather is always bad, the jobs don't pay well, the cost of living is rising fast, and the traffic is constant. It's a great place to visit, but not to live.
I only work 3 days a week and can pay all my bills and don't live in the hood. You only have the problems you mentioned when you live in the hood and/or hang with the wrong people and chase thots
Antonio Green I too lived there and pretty much experienced what you said. And I lived in a decent area of Marrietta..Just didnt do it for me..and had a handful of gf from my home town who moved there before I did..
It doesn't matter what city you live in if you have bad vibes you will attract bad experiences. The opportunity for MANY great experiences are within Atlanta. The city is expanding by the day. Ponce City Market, The Beltline, The Westside by the New Mercedes Benz Stadium, SunTrust Park, Aquarium, Restaurants, Musuems, huge Malls, mountains, concerts,global conferences, movies and entertainment. If you mind your business then I wouldn't see why other people living their best lives would bother you. I have lived here in Atlanta for 17 years all over the city. There are good and bad parts in every city. Atlanta has more good parts then bad. Coming from a country town in SC, I think Atlanta is the best place to live in the South.
I love Atlanta. There is ALWAYS something to do and somewhere to go. My advice to anyone planning to move there, secure yourself a good solid job, and go there with as much money as you can put together. Its a place that sucks to be broke in. That applies everywhere, I’m sure, but it especially applies here.
Like living in L.A. is healthy? I just spent ten days in L.A. I could never live there. I could not believe the smog. Atlanta has a lovely spring, a hot summer, a wonderful fall, and a fairly mild winter. You are so wrong about the “2 seasons,”
Don't you dare summon people to this unfathomable hell of a city. I could elucidate to you so many quandaries with this city but I'm too busy wiping my nose from the four different types of pollen in the air 🙄
As a Georgia native, I can tell you, the heat ain't that bad. The humidity is what kills you. You walk outside and start choking on air. And as for the weather staying hot for 11 months, that's really not true at all. For the past couple of years we've been getting snow in March and once even as late as April. Georgia weather is weird and we've all just learned to not question it
I don't like how people (mostly black) in Atlanta will just walk up and get into your face and they don't know you. In Los Angeles California and New York you cannot do that because you may get the shit beat out of you!!!!
@@jerrybarnes161 I don't like how people (mostly you) respond to old comments talking about some mildly racist shit that has nothing to do with what I said
Pretty much spot on. Been here 17 years and this place is a cesspool. Not saying other cities aren't as bad or worse, but Atlanta is not anything to be proud of.
If anyone were to move to Georgia I would suggest that they move about 45-90 minutes north of atlanta to Canton, Woodstock, Kennesaw, Cartersville, White, Roswell or Acworth. If you go to Jasper that's usually where things can get a little bit more "country", but for the most part Georgia is a pretty nice State.
Things you forgot to mention... 1. Sprawl - everything is SUPER spread out and it takes FOREVER to get even a short distance at times 2. Pollen season - it thoroughly coats everything yellow and exacerbates allergies and headaches 3. Poor mass transit - for a major city like Atlanta, Marta is absolutely despicable 4. Racism - The KKK STILL has rallies in downtown Atlanta regularly 5. No water - Seas/Oceans/Lakes that usually make a city nicer are totally absent here 6. Poor/No Sidewalks - while it is improving gradually, many areas still aren’t walkable 7. Inflated rent - too many places charge like its prime beach front property............it’s not 8. Sports - The teams in Atlanta aren’t bad per se, but they definitely leave you wanting more 9. People - not all, but still WAY too many here have a TERRIBLY over-inflated sense of self that doesn’t at all match what they have to offer. Locals know it as “Atlanta-tude” 10. Not quite “there” yet - Atlanta is a city with a LOT of potential, but still has yet to fully and completely realize it. It just always feels like it’s on the verge of “getting there”, but not quite.

Also, no hockey. Please move to my hometown of Huntsville, AL instead. We do have hockey, and we’re closer to Nashville. Go Havoc, Thrashers, and Preds! May the Jets never hoist Lord Stanley’s cup.
You in south....why snow. Move to Alaska....you would love the snow here loool and -60 Temps. Snowy and 🥶 ......I need sun sun sun....and humidity..tired of dry skin, cold and earthquakes.
As a native ATLien, I have one reason for you: We are full. We are chock full. There are enough people here. Go away. During Thanksgiving weekend, traffic was the lightest I've ever seen it: because everyone else had gone back home. I say this in half jest, of course.
I don't know who this man is and I don't really care. He clearly does not have his facts straight. I have lived here for seven wonderful years and I love it! If Atlanta was so bad as he would lead you to believe people wouldn't be moving here like crazy. Atlanta a great place to live, we welcome you!!
Everyone is moving to Atlanta and Houston. I live in Houston and my husband wants to move to Atlanta and it’s like... why?? I feel like we’d just be moving and uprooting everything we have here to go to the same thing or Houston times 10. Also neither of us have ever even visited. He’s going purely off of what he sees on TV. I think it would be fun to visit but don’t really have an interest in moving.
We have the busiest airport in the world, Atlanta Connects all flights comming from Africa, South America, And if you want to get to anywhere else your most likely to pass through here
I'm from the Atlanta area. You're wrong about the perimeter. Quite honestly, outside "The Ring" (I-285) is where the nicer areas are. Inside the ring is rather ghetto in most areas. Inside is where you're likely to get shot. The Hill Billy areas begin about 1 to 1.5 hours away from the ring.
While no place is "perfect", ,Atlanta has a lot to offer. I live in Midtown Atlanta, and it's one of the best places to live in the city! If you don't like Atlanta, bless your heart! :)
Feels like it's summer ten months of the year? Dude, what are you talking about? Transplants like myself get surprised as to how cold Atlanta can get. Not to mention when it starts warming up you'll literally get 40 degree swings in the same day.
Most people incorrectly think Florida when they think Atlanta. Atlanta has sweltering summers but its consistently 30 degrees in the winter and not uncommon to be in the 20s during the early AM. Then this time of the year its literally 32 when you wake up and 75 by midday. This guy's making it sound like it's invariably hot here which is absolutely false.
Traffic is messed up because city planers didn't do a good job. Live in Vegas. Highway goes East and West. North and South. Plus a beltway. You can take the side streets.
No it's not phoney. I'm from Ga, and I am traveling all over the country. What I've found out is the southern hospitality isn't found in the West . We are truly sweet and caring ppl in the south. Love the country in the west, just gorgeous and I thank God I'm able to see it but nothing compares to Georgia's manners and southern hospitality. Bless your heart. 😏
Being from georgia for most of my life, one huge thing you left out was spring. In the spring in Georgia there is a huge load of pollen, so much so that you can make letters on your car. We called it yellow snow.
I’m a native ATLien and this guys not wrong about a lot of the things in this video. But #1 at the end is an utter fallacy. ATL does not have 11 months of summer. The first cold snap can happen early as October and cold weather can go as late as May. What does happen though is two different systems basically compete over shaping the climate, the Gulf Stream and the North Pacific Current. These two currents almost intersect over the Piedmont Plateau, and it fucking sucks in the winter. You might think warm currents in the middle of winter are great with 70 degree weather out the blue, but it messes up your immune system, so it’s better to have a set temperature for your body to acclimate to, which is why there’s always mild-cold/flu epidemics in ATL every few years. And on a side note, mid ranged North American wintry climate extends as far south as the Florida panhandle. So it low key pissed me off when that man said 11 months of summer and this video got like 1M views cause that shit is insanely inaccurate lol
I live in florida now after living 18 years in Georgia. Here we are having 11 months of summer. Also georgia sucks with politics being one sided and the pollen, too much pollen.
I don’t like Atlanta nor Miami but I’m telling you Miami is a pretty poor place to live in. Bad neighborhoods, and also is in Florida lmao. It’s a beautiful city though.
@@Landon_706 Did you live in Miami? Have you seen Brickell? Miami Lakes? Sunny Isles? Far from poor. I happen to stay in Miami Lakes, no crime and you definitely cannot be poor to live here.
Allen Godfrey, you are paying much more than what you are getting out of quality I’ll tell you that. And again, Miami is in Florida. Nobody likes Florida lmao.
georgia does have 2 seasons, it’s summer and winter-ish. it’s usually hot from april-september, it’s cool in october, and then cold from november-march. as someone who has lived in georgia all their life it is not always hot here. our winters have cool, cloudy weather with cold rain, and occasionally, once a year, some snow.
just got back from a six day trip to Atlanta. Worst: Aggressive panhandlers, claustrophobic subway stations, everybody wants to share their rap with you
I’m from Chicago and I lived in Atlanta for about a year. Honestly it’s nothing like Chicago. Also there are a lot of homeless people here I’ve never seen so many before in my life
Please don't move here ! Lol it's getting overpopulated really quick. I promise the traffic is terrible and 285 statistically is the deadliest interstate
Also, no hockey. Please move to my hometown of Huntsville, AL instead. We do have hockey, and we’re closer to Nashville. Go Havoc, Thrashers, and Preds! May the Jets never hoist Lord Stanley’s cup.
the only thing that makes this city bad is the new people that move here. they offer nothing and bring their baggage and trauma, make our areas crowded and traffic unbearable. I agree with this video - STOP MOVING HERE. I remember an uber driver being shocked when I told him I was from here. So many people are not from here nowadays. Homelessness is CRAZY where I grew up but was non-existent years ago. Crime is horrible... It's all coming from the influx of other people coming in.
Daddy Dingus Bro I was born and raised in this community. Atlanta is not just the buildings and two feet away. The metro Atlanta area is fairly sized, Gwinnett county being apart of that.
okay but number 8 is wrong?? some of the areas outside of atlanta are reaaallly good (alpharetta, johns creek, milton, east cobb etc.) also in these areas are some really good schools even on national standards. alpharetta high school is in the top 2% of national high schools and most of the other high schools are pretty high ranking.
#8 is completely wrong... You act like just because georgia is southern, that must mean everyone is a conservative/has racist views. Also, places outside of atlanta are pretty modernized. it is not at all “backwoods”
First of all the whole state of GA is not Atlanta i was born in Atlanta but i grew up about a hour away in the country....You won't get genuine southern hospitality in Atlanta like you get in the smaller cities like Savannah..... the outskirt cities where the country people are it's way more quiet,enjoyable, and peaceful...But i advise that if you are not coming for the real southern lifestyle or country living then don't move to the south at all.
Man I love Atlanta. I moved to a few other places as a kid, but I always come back to Atlanta. I was born here. Mostly raised here. Wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else.
This video is painting VERY broad, very inaccurate strokes about Atlanta. Ive lived in Ga my whole life, mostly outside the perimeter. Many suburbs of North Ga are affluent, diverse and well functioning places. Sure there are typical “southern” areas that maybe could be described as “backwoods” but thats becoming less and less common. Many areas are developing rapidly and have a lot to offer to people trying to get out of the busy city. On that note, the city of Atlanta is a cultural hub with a really awesome blend of new and young trends and some remnants of southern charm. Its diverse, modern and I love my city. This video is ass.
You mean hustling by doing illegal activity? People with degrees and trades still getting low pay. Atlanta has one of the highest std rates in the nation yet its just fine? SMH delusion at its finest.
I bet this guy haven’t been to Atlanta ever. And my school isn’t that bad. I live in Gwinnett County and the school isn’t that bad. The traffic sucks because a lot of people moved here. And what’s wrong with bugs? Its called nature. There is actually 4 season, Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter.
I lived in Atlanta for 3 years. It wasn't terrible but it also wasn't the best either. The one thing I will say is the people are very friendly and always willing help if they can. I made some life long friends in those 3 years.
Atlanta is pretty much full of transplants from other states. Crime is mostly on the southside of Atlanta (one of the reasons the braves moved to Cobb county.) Agree that bugs are bad here. The people in rural Georgia are actually some of the nicest you’ll ever meet. They may look like roughnecks and give you a hard time, but they generally live by the golden rule (even if you try to impose your liberal ideology)
Bro a LA Outsider rating Atlanta that’s like a blood telling a crip not to be a crip cuz he don’t like blue. Bro LA is very different to Atlanta bro. WTF😂 We got fresh air all day😊☀️🌃
i know right. we just had the worst month of rain in feb and march. plus i've been here for 5 years now and it starts to get cold in October very similar to Connecticut where im from and we had stretches of temp in the 20's and 30s in December and January consistently over the last 5 years. only thing accurate he got about the weather is the summer's here do get hot. plus he put's traffic at number 10 when we all know it should be number 1 lol ;-)
TonyMichael winters in Atlanta cannot compare to cold harsh winters up north. Granted you have your horrible cold snaps due to the higher elevation but your winters in Atlanta are nowhere near as long or cold as in the Great Lakes and upper Midwest, not even close.
Robert Preskop Who said I was even comparing it to the Great Lakes and that area the country I compared it to Connecticut which is up in the north east which is where I’m from and I know what the weather like up there and it is very similar to the weather down here in Georgia which is where I live now!!! Average temperature difference between Connecticut and Georgia which is what I was comparing it to was about 5° this past winter
Angel_Peguero that is only inside Atlanta city limits. The vast majority of the metro area's ~6 million people live outside the city limits and almost all of them commute. In cars. Because public transportation here is terrible. Atlanta metro is growing at 90k people per year and the infrastructure, roads, and mass transit (lolz) can't keep up. Believe me. We all full here.
@April Showers;everybody tries to sweep the"Sodom"factor under the rug!! That's exactly WHY the population of the City of Atlanta has never surpassed a HALF of a million;no babies are being born!! The women want the women,and the men want the MEN!!
@Steven Porter;I hear that;my cousins stupid husband gets charged with the killing of some 16 year-old tough in 2006,and after over two YEARS in trial with no conviction,the Prosecution offers"dummy"a"deal"(a SURE indicator that they have absolutely NO evidence to convict you on the charge you're facing)for 30-FIFTY years behind bars and this IDIOT actually signed and TOOK the deal!! Now when he serves-out his sentence at the age of EIGHTY-EIGHT,and touches down in Detroit again,he might have a few months of life remaining to muse upon the fact that the Prosecutor will never even OFFER you a deal for a 2nd-degree murder sentence IF he had ANY permissible EVIDENCE to convict you ON the 1ST-degree murder rap you were NOT convicted on in trial approaching THREE years of witness testimony and investigation!!! Give a fool enough rope...
I live in Atlanta and these are my top 5 reasons not to move here: 1. Crime is really bad 2. Housing is too expensive 3. Traffic 4. People are less intelligent than the national average of major cities (bad school systems) 5. Low paying jobs
1. That's just part of living in a city. 2. That's also part of living in a city. 3. That's also part of living in a city. 4. That really isn't true. The vast majority of people are dumb regardless of the quality of school. 5. What?
“Expensive housing?!” Bless you’re heart, try ANYWHERE west coast from Phoenix to San Francisco, anywhere people actually want to live, in other words.
My rent for a 1000 sq ft apartment is 3000 dollars a month in Los Angeles. You don't know what expensive means . I used to live in Marietta around 2014 and my 3 bedroom 1300 SQ ft apartment was about 1100 dollars maybe , so even though I had a low paying job , it was very easy to live
So, I grew up in Georgia. I have lived in other places as well, but I consider myself a native. This is not an accurate review. The only thing I agree with is the traffic.
And the homosexuals, homelessness, political thieves, (paul howard D.A. OF FULTON COUNTY) police brutality, etc etc etc Oh sorry u live in the suburbs!
Atlanta is the black Mecca. You can't go downtown at night unless you are ignorant of the number of visitors that have been robbed and/or raped or both. The weather is fine and there is only a bug problem if you don't use Orkin. The most affluent part of the city is Buckhead and it is trying to succeed from Atlanta to become Buckhead - a separate city so they can better manage the crime that uses the affluent citizens as financial providers. Crime inside the perimeter is far worse than crime in the distant suburbs; that is why people move 30 miles away and face the traffic.
I live in Atlanta and love this city. It’s actually very safe, has great pockets of awesome neighborhoods and some of the best food. This guy knows very little about our city other than stats he’s read online. Also, the weather is great here. We have 4 distinct seasons that are perfectly balanced- never too hot, never too cold.
I’m a Crawford-Long baby from Atlanta. You forgot to mention the underground scene in Atlanta. Atl has a huge drug scene. Cocaine usage is EVERYWHERE in Atlanta. Not to mention it’s the STD capital of the United States as well as the sex trafficking capital of the Unites States. Atlanta is full of some of the worst people you would ever meet. As someone who has been in this city for a very long time I can tell you this is one of the worst cities I’ve ever been. And that “southern hospitality” doesn’t exist in Atlanta.
If you're thinking about moving here and you don't like the country life, here's my best tip. Interstate 285 is a circle around Atlanta. If you're on 285 you are 10-20 miles from Atlanta. If you're exist anywhere on 285, and is driving away from Atlanta, you want to live less than 25 miles away.
Idk, I had mostly great teachers and our school had pretty good performance in AP classes. And no, I did not come from Alpharetta or John's Creek. haha
Black Ocean Actually APS isn't like West, Midwest, or East Coast. You see the south grows up quick and you have to actually see what's happening in the public school system down here. 1 thing for sure the south is mainly broke. Our city and police can't fund what Philly or NY has. APS can't.
Atlanta is not that hot really. I come from Miami where you get 85 deg muggy ass weather in fucking November and December. ATL stays consistently between mid 30s and low 60s from October throughout March. It really gets hot in June and July though, but then gradually dies down, unlike Florida.
I just went to Atlanta for the first time in over 20 years and I loved! 3 great days. Weather, people, food , attractions, architecture! I love it!!!!!
Atlanta is not for everyone but neither is San Francisco, Portland, LA, Miami or wherever it is that you live. If you don't like somewhere, rather than hate and spread your misery, find a place you enjoy, move there and make the most of it.
ATL6 Garrett you are so right. I’ve lived here my entire life. I now live in England during the months of May - July. The palmetto bug is sincerely the most heinous, fastest, and disturbing insect to have to deal with in all of the Deep South. They average 2” long and are indeed a member of the cockroach family. They live in trees, like wood, paper and cardboard. They can fly and appear out of nowhere. We keep our house sprayed 12 mos a year. Have tried the old remedies such as sprinkling Borax detergent around the outer perimeter of our house. Nothing works. We are having a wetter and colder winter than usual and yet we killed on yesterday that was crawling across our pillow in bed. So then at 12:10 am we are changing sheets. We also have a pool and a small lake on our property so when ghee weather gets dry we have even more. Welcome to Ga folks.
There are 4 distinct seasons in Atlanta - pollen, hot, hotter, and Christmas. The humidity is there for all of them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol yall trippin. The A is lit. Feel free to head out so the real ATLiens can kick back

It doesn't matter what city you live in if you have bad vibes you will attract bad experiences. The opportunity for MANY great experiences are within Atlanta. The city is expanding by the day. Ponce City Market, The Beltline, The Westside by the New Mercedes Benz Stadium, SunTrust Park, Aquarium, Restaurants, Musuems, huge Malls, mountains, concerts,global conferences, movies and entertainment.
If you mind your business then I wouldn't see why other people living their best lives would bother you. I have lived here in Atlanta for 17 years all over the city. There are good and bad parts in every city. Atlanta has more good parts then bad. Coming from a country town in SC, I think Atlanta is the best place to live in the South.
Avery Patterson I totally agree
I love Atlanta. There is ALWAYS something to do and somewhere to go.
My advice to anyone planning to move there, secure yourself a good solid job, and go there with as much money as you can put together. Its a place that sucks to be broke in.
That applies everywhere, I’m sure, but it especially applies here.
Truth 💯
Like living in L.A. is healthy? I just spent ten days in L.A. I could never live there. I could not believe the smog. Atlanta has a lovely spring, a hot summer, a wonderful fall, and a fairly mild winter. You are so wrong about the “2 seasons,”
No noooo dont encourage them
Don't you dare summon people to this unfathomable hell of a city. I could elucidate to you so many quandaries with this city but I'm too busy wiping my nose from the four different types of pollen in the air 🙄
OK FIRST OF ALL people LIKE lightning bugs. They're not nuisances and they don't invade your house. They just look pretty during the summertime.
As a Georgia native, I can tell you, the heat ain't that bad. The humidity is what kills you. You walk outside and start choking on air. And as for the weather staying hot for 11 months, that's really not true at all. For the past couple of years we've been getting snow in March and once even as late as April. Georgia weather is weird and we've all just learned to not question it
I don't like how people (mostly black) in Atlanta will just walk up and get into your face and they don't know you. In Los Angeles California and New York you cannot do that because you may get the shit beat out of you!!!!
@@jerrybarnes161 I don't like how people (mostly you) respond to old comments talking about some mildly racist shit that has nothing to do with what I said
Pretty much spot on. Been here 17 years and this place is a cesspool. Not saying other cities aren't as bad or worse, but Atlanta is not anything to be proud of.
Just think his it seems to me. Burn and raised here. After 4 decades, I had to leave.
If anyone were to move to Georgia I would suggest that they move about 45-90 minutes north of atlanta to Canton, Woodstock, Kennesaw, Cartersville, White, Roswell or Acworth. If you go to Jasper that's usually where things can get a little bit more "country", but for the most part Georgia is a pretty nice State.
Garrett H. I rather live in Atlanta. Those cities you name has a bunch of KKK members there. Thats a Big NO NO! 😨😂
are you joking about the city White or are you serious?
Garrett H. He’s serious. I live about a couple exits from there.
Garrett H. I'm not joking at all.
Things you forgot to mention...
1. Sprawl - everything is SUPER spread out and it takes FOREVER to get even a short distance at times
2. Pollen season - it thoroughly coats everything yellow and exacerbates allergies and headaches
3. Poor mass transit - for a major city like Atlanta, Marta is absolutely despicable
4. Racism - The KKK STILL has rallies in downtown Atlanta regularly
5. No water - Seas/Oceans/Lakes that usually make a city nicer are totally absent here
6. Poor/No Sidewalks - while it is improving gradually, many areas still aren’t walkable
7. Inflated rent - too many places charge like its prime beach front property............it’s not
8. Sports - The teams in Atlanta aren’t bad per se, but they definitely leave you wanting more
9. People - not all, but still WAY too many here have a TERRIBLY over-inflated sense of self that doesn’t at all match what they have to offer. Locals know it as “Atlanta-tude”
10. Not quite “there” yet - Atlanta is a city with a LOT of potential, but still has yet to fully and completely realize it. It just always feels like it’s on the verge of “getting there”, but not quite.

The KKK aint relevant any more dude.....who cares if they a rally ever once in a while, so do the Panthers, really, who cares ?
Traffic should be reasons 1-10. Don't move here. We full.
Also, no hockey. Please move to my hometown of Huntsville, AL instead. We do have hockey, and we’re closer to Nashville. Go Havoc, Thrashers, and Preds! May the Jets never hoist Lord Stanley’s cup.
Atlanta don't belong to anyone. If everyone who moved to Atlanta moved out of Atlanta then what .
That's why it's going to burn. Again. This time forever. G county .
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA. It has definitely changed over the years but I still love it!! I just wish we would get more snow here.
You in south....why snow. Move to Alaska....you would love the snow here loool and -60 Temps. Snowy and 🥶 ......I need sun sun sun....and humidity..tired of dry skin, cold and earthquakes.
I’ve lived in Atlanta my whole life and I love it soooooo
Same. I think it's actually perfect
As a native ATLien, I have one reason for you: We are full. We are chock full. There are enough people here. Go away. During Thanksgiving weekend, traffic was the lightest I've ever seen it: because everyone else had gone back home.
I say this in half jest, of course.
Yes please stop coming to Georgia we don't want you hear anyways with y'all's negative asses
I don't know who this man is and I don't really care. He clearly does not have his facts straight. I have lived here for seven wonderful years and I love it! If Atlanta was so bad as he would lead you to believe people wouldn't be moving here like crazy. Atlanta a great place to live, we welcome you!!
Yes, please don't move here. Stay north, stay west, and particularly stay way west. We can exist here without you.
I know Atlanta's is a northern city now they're ruining South.
So much for southern hospitality 🤣
Everyone is moving to Atlanta and Houston. I live in Houston and my husband wants to move to Atlanta and it’s like... why?? I feel like we’d just be moving and uprooting everything we have here to go to the same thing or Houston times 10. Also neither of us have ever even visited. He’s going purely off of what he sees on TV. I think it would be fun to visit but don’t really have an interest in moving.
@@pocahontas4583 lots of movies being made in georgia
I agree. I lived in Los Angeles and its HORRIBLE for SO MANY REASONS!!!
If you're planning on moving to any city do not let listen to anyone else. Everybody, S journey is different. Life,s about experiences so go for it.
Harry Hippy On Point!
The area outside of Atlanta is the best part
Slayton Rider very true
We have the busiest airport in the world, Atlanta Connects all flights comming from Africa, South America, And if you want to get to anywhere else your most likely to pass through here
“Bless your heart” is a southern saying, it isn’t just for Atlanta:)
I'm from the Atlanta area. You're wrong about the perimeter. Quite honestly, outside "The Ring" (I-285) is where the nicer areas are. Inside the ring is rather ghetto in most areas. Inside is where you're likely to get shot. The Hill Billy areas begin about 1 to 1.5 hours away from the ring.
Don’t come to Atlanta we have enough traffic
Road infrastructure is too slow to catch up.
Yes. Please stop moving here! Our traffic use to be fine until the “Reasons to move here”. Two words: GO HOME!
PS. Take a friend with you.

While no place is "perfect", ,Atlanta has a lot to offer. I live in Midtown Atlanta, and it's one of the best places to live in the city! If you don't like Atlanta, bless your heart! :)
You mean if you are 🏳️🌈 🌈
Oh... the transplants.
Feels like it's summer ten months of the year? Dude, what are you talking about? Transplants like myself get surprised as to how cold Atlanta can get. Not to mention when it starts warming up you'll literally get 40 degree swings in the same day.
Anthony Malik like today lol
Most people incorrectly think Florida when they think Atlanta. Atlanta has sweltering summers but its consistently 30 degrees in the winter and not uncommon to be in the 20s during the early AM. Then this time of the year its literally 32 when you wake up and 75 by midday. This guy's making it sound like it's invariably hot here which is absolutely false.
Ppl kill me complaining about Atl but won't nobody take their ass home. That's why traffic is so f'd up.
Traffic is messed up because city planers didn't do a good job.
Live in Vegas.
Highway goes East and West.
North and South.
Plus a beltway.
You can take the side streets.
The hospitality is phoney.... It has more to do with noseyness for gossip.... I know I live here.
RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it's not phoney. I'm from Ga, and I am traveling all over the country. What I've found out is the southern hospitality isn't found in the West . We are truly sweet and caring ppl in the south. Love the country in the west, just gorgeous and I thank God I'm able to see it but nothing compares to Georgia's manners and southern hospitality. Bless your heart. 😏
Bless you my beloved message me up I have messages for you from gods and the ancestors
Oh yes, never trust Southern hospitality. Southerners are tops at little white lies. I know, I'm Southern. 😁
It's not phony. Move west and you'll see for yourself in no time
Being from georgia for most of my life, one huge thing you left out was spring. In the spring in Georgia there is a huge load of pollen, so much so that you can make letters on your car. We called it yellow snow.
@@Dman3827 yeah but the spring is just nasty
#1 reason to not move to Atlanta because we got enough people already. Anybody else thinking about moving here go somewhere else
Bre Travis true 😂
Bre Travis nailed it.
Lol thanks for the love, this is the most true statement about this state.
Don't cry now. When Amazon finishes their building to will change Atlanta for good.

i live in atlanta and i love it .
Kaitlyn Mayo me live un duluth
I’m a native ATLien and this guys not wrong about a lot of the things in this video. But #1 at the end is an utter fallacy. ATL does not have 11 months of summer. The first cold snap can happen early as October and cold weather can go as late as May. What does happen though is two different systems basically compete over shaping the climate, the Gulf Stream and the North Pacific Current. These two currents almost intersect over the Piedmont Plateau, and it fucking sucks in the winter. You might think warm currents in the middle of winter are great with 70 degree weather out the blue, but it messes up your immune system, so it’s better to have a set temperature for your body to acclimate to, which is why there’s always mild-cold/flu epidemics in ATL every few years.
And on a side note, mid ranged North American wintry climate extends as far south as the Florida panhandle. So it low key pissed me off when that man said 11 months of summer and this video got like 1M views cause that shit is insanely inaccurate lol
Your not wrong
I live in florida now after living 18 years in Georgia. Here we are having 11 months of summer. Also georgia sucks with politics being one sided and the pollen, too much pollen.
And my comment about weather systems relates to politics how....?

Visiting Atlanta this week and it has been horrible. Food is good though. Can't wait to go back home to Miami.
Allen Godfrey, bruuuhhh Miami sucks
@@Landon_706 Definitely a better place to be than Atlanta. Not even up for debate. People vacation from around the world where I live.
I don’t like Atlanta nor Miami but I’m telling you Miami is a pretty poor place to live in. Bad neighborhoods, and also is in Florida lmao. It’s a beautiful city though.
@@Landon_706 Did you live in Miami? Have you seen Brickell? Miami Lakes? Sunny Isles? Far from poor. I happen to stay in Miami Lakes, no crime and you definitely cannot be poor to live here.
Allen Godfrey, you are paying much more than what you are getting out of quality I’ll tell you that. And again, Miami is in Florida. Nobody likes Florida lmao.
georgia does have 2 seasons, it’s summer and winter-ish. it’s usually hot from april-september, it’s cool in october, and then cold from november-march. as someone who has lived in georgia all their life it is not always hot here. our winters have cool, cloudy weather with cold rain, and occasionally, once a year, some snow.
Truth
just got back from a six day trip to Atlanta. Worst: Aggressive panhandlers, claustrophobic subway stations, everybody wants to share their rap with you
@Hello David Hollowood, How are you doing?
I’m from Chicago and I lived in Atlanta for about a year. Honestly it’s nothing like Chicago.
Also there are a lot of homeless people here I’ve never seen so many before in my life
Come back. Lol
Come on! Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the United States 🇺🇸
In the south, we say tardy and late interchangeably, its very common in my experience hehe
I been in Atlanta for 47 years. We are full go somewhere else
Please don't move here ! Lol it's getting overpopulated really quick. I promise the traffic is terrible and 285 statistically is the deadliest interstate
Also, no hockey. Please move to my hometown of Huntsville, AL instead. We do have hockey, and we’re closer to Nashville. Go Havoc, Thrashers, and Preds! May the Jets never hoist Lord Stanley’s cup.
The weather in Atlanta is so bipolar one day it’s 90 next day it’s 50 degrees
Sounds like ny
At least you don't get bored. 😁😂🤣
Ya I know I go to work in shorts and at night in full winter gear with shorts on
the only thing that makes this city bad is the new people that move here. they offer nothing and bring their baggage and trauma, make our areas crowded and traffic unbearable. I agree with this video - STOP MOVING HERE. I remember an uber driver being shocked when I told him I was from here. So many people are not from here nowadays. Homelessness is CRAZY where I grew up but was non-existent years ago. Crime is horrible... It's all coming from the influx of other people coming in.
Yes! 100%
You totally lied about the schools! There are good schools outside of Atlanta! Gwinnett County being one of them.
Daddy Dingus Bro I was born and raised in this community. Atlanta is not just the buildings and two feet away. The metro Atlanta area is fairly sized, Gwinnett county being apart of that.
Gainesville is phenomenal
Thats a bit far fetched Queen
i have to disagree my teacher went to sleep when i asked him for help and my school smells like an old mans middle toe
okay but number 8 is wrong?? some of the areas outside of atlanta are reaaallly good (alpharetta, johns creek, milton, east cobb etc.) also in these areas are some really good schools even on national standards. alpharetta high school is in the top 2% of national high schools and most of the other high schools are pretty high ranking.
emi mizuki exactly!
#8 is completely wrong... You act like just because georgia is southern, that must mean everyone is a conservative/has racist views. Also, places outside of atlanta are pretty modernized. it is not at all “backwoods”
As a native Atlantan, this person is right. DO NOT MOVE HERE, STOP COMING
not even for a tour ? 🤔
First of all the whole state of GA is not Atlanta i was born in Atlanta but i grew up about a hour away in the country....You won't get genuine southern hospitality in Atlanta like you get in the smaller cities like Savannah..... the outskirt cities where the country people are it's way more quiet,enjoyable, and peaceful...But i advise that if you are not coming for the real southern lifestyle or country living then don't move to the south at all.
gapeach14 right
Why do people think Atlanta is all of Georgia?
Rise up brother
The traffic is because they are trying to get to the airport.
It’s the has the busiest airport in the world.
Cj Davis I work to the slight east of the airport and it’s about 5 minutes on the 285 to get to ATL.
Man I love Atlanta. I moved to a few other places as a kid, but I always come back to Atlanta. I was born here. Mostly raised here. Wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else.
lived in Atl all my life and I actually like it a lot here I just wish we’d legalize weed already
I am fine with weed.. but never any of the others. Weed is a normal plant.. it helps and relaxes.
Yeah Atlanta is great lived here my whole life but come on we need legal weed
That’s not a good idea. Never do w$$d
Atlanta is better than most cities...
Bray den faxxx
This video is painting VERY broad, very inaccurate strokes about Atlanta. Ive lived in Ga my whole life, mostly outside the perimeter. Many suburbs of North Ga are affluent, diverse and well functioning places. Sure there are typical “southern” areas that maybe could be described as “backwoods” but thats becoming less and less common. Many areas are developing rapidly and have a lot to offer to people trying to get out of the busy city. On that note, the city of Atlanta is a cultural hub with a really awesome blend of new and young trends and some remnants of southern charm. Its diverse, modern and I love my city. This video is ass.
It's not just about Atlanta Period. It's the part of Atlanta you live in. It depends in which area of Atlanta.
Love Atlanta!!! East side of Decatur beautiful city

TH-camr is dumb Atlanta has more opportunities than any southern state. Has the world's busiest airport. Try again. It's popular for a reason
Houston is in a southern state.
Atlanta is just fine .Stop crying and start hustling.
Such an accurate statement! If you are not coming here to hustle, don’t come!
You mean hustling by doing illegal activity? People with degrees and trades still getting low pay. Atlanta has one of the highest std rates in the nation yet its just fine? SMH delusion at its finest.

I bet this guy haven’t been to Atlanta ever. And my school isn’t that bad. I live in Gwinnett County and the school isn’t that bad. The traffic sucks because a lot of people moved here. And what’s wrong with bugs? Its called nature. There is actually 4 season, Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter.
nO jAmS RIII even some schools in Dekalb ain’t even bad lol
He was talking about Atlanta public schools
Kelsey Calvo I go to public schools
You'n's talkin all dat shit bout hows gud da schools is but neither ones of you's can write a correct sentence with proper English
I lived in Atlanta for 3 years. It wasn't terrible but it also wasn't the best either. The one thing I will say is the people are very friendly and always willing help if they can. I made some life long friends in those 3 years.
Atlanta is pretty much full of transplants from other states. Crime is mostly on the southside of Atlanta (one of the reasons the braves moved to Cobb county.) Agree that bugs are bad here. The people in rural Georgia are actually some of the nicest you’ll ever meet. They may look like roughnecks and give you a hard time, but they generally live by the golden rule (even if you try to impose your liberal ideology)
Agreed. I live in cobb county and i visit atlanta every so often. Big difference between city folk and the surburbs
Bro a LA Outsider rating Atlanta that’s like a blood telling a crip not to be a crip cuz he don’t like blue. Bro LA is very different to Atlanta bro. WTF😂
We got fresh air all day😊☀️🌃
You don't wear tank tops most of the year in GA lol. Obviously you know nothing about GA. We have seasons. It is not hot in atlanta all the time.
Wind chill in the winter can be 10 below, F. You're right about this guy not knowing Atlanta's weather. Didn't mention that it rains all the time.
i know right. we just had the worst month of rain in feb and march. plus i've been here for 5 years now and it starts to get cold in October very similar to Connecticut where im from and we had stretches of temp in the 20's and 30s in December and January consistently over the last 5 years. only thing accurate he got about the weather is the summer's here do get hot. plus he put's traffic at number 10 when we all know it should be number 1 lol ;-)
TonyMichael winters in Atlanta cannot compare to cold harsh winters up north. Granted you have your horrible cold snaps due to the higher elevation but your winters in Atlanta are nowhere near as long or cold as in the Great Lakes and upper Midwest, not even close.
Robert Preskop Who said I was even comparing it to the Great Lakes and that area the country I compared it to Connecticut which is up in the north east which is where I’m from and I know what the weather like up there and it is very similar to the weather down here in Georgia which is where I live now!!! Average temperature difference between Connecticut and Georgia which is what I was comparing it to was about 5° this past winter
I moved here 6yrs ago from New Hampshire and i don’t regret it at all i love it down here

As a person that lives in ATL, don’t move here, we already have too many people.
Thomas Carling not true is not like is a big city like nyc
Angel_Peguero you're right- its not as big, but it's bigger than it needs to be. It doesn't need to be any more crowded.
Angel_Peguero I’ve been to nyc, and it would be far more bearable to live there
Thomas Carling and it has 8.3 millino ppl atla has 0.8
Angel_Peguero that is only inside Atlanta city limits. The vast majority of the metro area's ~6 million people live outside the city limits and almost all of them commute. In cars. Because public transportation here is terrible. Atlanta metro is growing at 90k people per year and the infrastructure, roads, and mass transit (lolz) can't keep up. Believe me. We all full here.

Why is this in my recommended BUT I live HERE
Łøñę On God though 😂
I know me too lol. This dude is messed up!!
I live in Atlanta and these are my top 5 reasons not to move here:
1. Crime is really bad
2. Housing is too expensive
3. Traffic
4. People are less intelligent than the national average of major cities (bad school systems)
5. Low paying jobs
1. That's just part of living in a city.
2. That's also part of living in a city.
3. That's also part of living in a city.
4. That really isn't true. The vast majority of people are dumb regardless of the quality of school.
5. What?
Yes, try LA
“Expensive housing?!” Bless you’re heart, try ANYWHERE west coast from Phoenix to San Francisco, anywhere people actually want to live, in other words.
Finally an accurate assessment!
My rent for a 1000 sq ft apartment is 3000 dollars a month in Los Angeles. You don't know what expensive means .
I used to live in Marietta around 2014 and my 3 bedroom 1300 SQ ft apartment was about 1100 dollars maybe , so even though I had a low paying job , it was very easy to live
So, I grew up in Georgia. I have lived in other places as well, but I consider myself a native. This is not an accurate review. The only thing I agree with is the traffic.
And the homosexuals, homelessness, political thieves, (paul howard D.A. OF FULTON COUNTY) police brutality, etc etc etc Oh sorry u live in the suburbs!
@@alistrange9478 yeah, no one in their right mind wants to live in Atlanta..
Me too I grow up in Georgia most in my grandma house from 1 day to 8 years maybe more! AND THAT'S A PERIOD.
Atlanta is the black Mecca. You can't go downtown at night unless you are ignorant of the number of visitors that have been robbed and/or raped or both. The weather is fine and there is only a bug problem if you don't use Orkin. The most affluent part of the city is Buckhead and it is trying to succeed from Atlanta to become Buckhead - a separate city so they can better manage the crime that uses the affluent citizens as financial providers. Crime inside the perimeter is far worse than crime in the distant suburbs; that is why people move 30 miles away and face the traffic.
I live in Atlanta and love this city. It’s actually very safe, has great pockets of awesome neighborhoods and some of the best food. This guy knows very little about our city other than stats he’s read online. Also, the weather is great here. We have 4 distinct seasons that are perfectly balanced- never too hot, never too cold.
I live in Georgia currently I want to move out west someday but the Atlanta area has terrible drivers they think using the blinker is optional.
lol i live in gwnnwtt
bvbytrash cxn Cool I live in Fulton.
I live in Gwinett and thats not reason enough for me to think abt leaving
Dude you never been to Cali huh? That's some next level bad driver shit
I’m a Crawford-Long baby from Atlanta. You forgot to mention the underground scene in Atlanta. Atl has a huge drug scene. Cocaine usage is EVERYWHERE in Atlanta. Not to mention it’s the STD capital of the United States as well as the sex trafficking capital of the Unites States. Atlanta is full of some of the worst people you would ever meet. As someone who has been in this city for a very long time I can tell you this is one of the worst cities I’ve ever been. And that “southern hospitality” doesn’t exist in Atlanta.
Its definitely not the std capital of the world thats philly dummy
You mean crack. Totally different clientele.
If you're thinking about moving here and you don't like the country life, here's my best tip. Interstate 285 is a circle around Atlanta. If you're on 285 you are 10-20 miles from Atlanta. If you're exist anywhere on 285, and is driving away from Atlanta, you want to live less than 25 miles away.
Well bless your heart. Do us peaches a favor and don't move here if you don't like it.
Aleeya Hargrove THANK YOU I LIVE HERE HSHSJEVA
As a atlanta native who lives in near atlanta, I can't agree more on the school part. The atlanta public schools are so shitty it's unreal
Idk, I had mostly great teachers and our school had pretty good performance in AP classes. And no, I did not come from Alpharetta or John's Creek. haha
Black Ocean Actually APS isn't like West, Midwest, or East Coast. You see the south grows up quick and you have to actually see what's happening in the public school system down here. 1 thing for sure the south is mainly broke. Our city and police can't fund what Philly or NY has. APS can't.

Atlanta is not that hot really. I come from Miami where you get 85 deg muggy ass weather in fucking November and December. ATL stays consistently between mid 30s and low 60s from October throughout March. It really gets hot in June and July though, but then gradually dies down, unlike Florida.

dave d you right about that... I hate Portland and Seattle. And I'm from Georgia living in Seattle.
I live here and I can say the bug thing is VERY TRUE
Which one do u choose NY or Atlanta?
ATL6 Garrett you are so right. I’ve lived here my entire life. I now live in England during the months of May - July. The palmetto bug is sincerely the most heinous, fastest, and disturbing insect to have to deal with in all of the Deep South. They average 2” long and are indeed a member of the cockroach family. They live in trees, like wood, paper and cardboard. They can fly and appear out of nowhere. We keep our house sprayed 12 mos a year. Have tried the old remedies such as sprinkling Borax detergent around the outer perimeter of our house. Nothing works. We are having a wetter and colder winter than usual and yet we killed on yesterday that was crawling across our pillow in bed. So then at 12:10 am we are changing sheets. We also have a pool and a small lake on our property so when ghee weather gets dry we have even more. Welcome to Ga folks.
