    Everything in Georgia is overpriced right now. We’ve looked in Woodstock, Canton, West Marietta, and Acworth all overpriced for what you get. In perspective , I’m a native to Georgia but someone from New York or California moving here might see prices as a steal. The migration of people from New York and California has ruined our state and I’m not speaking bad of these people I’m just stating a fact. The same thing is happening to Texas.

      It didn't have to be this way. MARTA was going to cover the entire Atlanta metropolitan area, which at the time of its proposal (1960s) was only five counties. In 1965, when MARTA came to a vote in those counties, Cobb County outright rejected it whereas the other four counties voted to accept it.
      Then in a vote brought by a 1971 referendum, Clayton and Gwinnett Counties rejected MARTA as well (after initially accepted it), leaving only DeKalb and Fulton Counties. The Atlanta area since then eventually grew beyond Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett Counties. Commuting by car is the only practical option in the majority of the Atlanta area (due to suburban sprawl), which amplifies the traffic problem. Although Clayton County did approve for expansion of MARTA into there in 2014, there are much more counties in the Atlanta area that are not in MARTA's reach (and expanding into them will be costly).
      I don't feel sorry for anyone who is anti-public-transit (and anti-urbanity), while complaining about extreme traffic congestion.

I’ve lived in this community all my life, having grown up here and I’ve never before seen such a population boom. New houses, apartment complexes and schools are constantly being built to accommodate the growth. What’s weird is that people often ask me where I’m originally from and I used to never have people ask me that in my own hometown. When I tell them I grew up here, they act surprised. They think I’m from out of state or something.

Also, they are leaving because the city of Augusta is mostly a very divided city whose government mostly just fights internally while the surrounding counties are growing and building nice amenities.

Raise a small family with pets . With war induced inflation along with taxes, it has made it extremely hard to serve.we are almost at a depression without the crash of the dollar. Even if you are in a high income bracket, you have to really cut your costs to live. Your dollar is taxed at 38% per dollar. Alot of homeowners have almost opp out on owning.

As for the strip clubs, Columbus shut them down and are very strict on anything like a cabaret. The three real reasons people are leaving 'Killumbus' is crime, crime, and crime.

    Albany is quite an improvement over living along the Main Line outside of Philadelphia. Lower cost of living was the equivalent of a pay raise. And taxes are low especially in retirement. Georgia doesn’t tax SSA. And from age 62-through 64, the first $35000 of income from pensions or retirement plans is tax free per person. At 65, the tax exclusion increases to $65000 per person.

      What's more is that the growth for growth sakes, chasing taxable income, is a recipe for destruction of the area. This isn't the 1960s any longer. Americans of European descent are not even replacing ourselves any longer, let alone having enough births to grow. So when you have these County and city governments approving all these apartments and subdivisions, who do you think is going to fill the new housing? Either foreigners, or Americans from other communities consumed with a third world invasion that they are escaping to these new communities. With more and more growth, immigration, and lax borders, our communities are diluted, then forced out. The more growth, there will be a larger number of areas becoming alien to what we remember as America.

    Just looked at the stats and your Math isn’t adding up with all of the cities except Albany. In places like Macon , surrounding cities are actually growing like Perry, Byron just to name a few. Overall the state is still growing and is one of the fastest growing in the US. A lot of growth is occurring in suburbs , exurbs, and “rural areas” across the state. In other words the whole state is becoming urban and Suburban. People in Savannah and the growth is spreading outwards, growth and development is occurring up I-75 further into Dalton, as well as 85 north. It’s interesting to see the shift, but the state itself is not slowing down in growth. The same growth is moving west on the I-20 corridor in far exurbs like Temple, which has been seeing consistent net growth, with the likes of Carrol County.

    Doesn't sound like you've actually visited Columbus in 30 or 40 years the way you described it. There's an overwhelming amount of entertainment and recreational opportunities for families. You're describing Columbus from the 70s and 80s

      it's been about 10 years since I've been to Columbus. In my research I did find that there are TONS of more rec opportunities now. loved seeing that. Remember this isn't MY opinion of towns people are leaving- this was from census data. Thanks for your comment!

    Yea.. I'd be leaving those places too. That's why I stayed down here in southeast GA.

    People are moving to Bremen because of the school system. I just wish we still had the clothing industry here. We have railroads and interstate, but we could sure use the industry.

    been in gwinnett for almost 30 years... seen alot of change and not for the better. crime is out of control in some areas. GCPD is stressed and low on staffing and resources yet the people keep coming. along with the non-stop 'affordable housing' being built on every sliver of land left available and crime keeps getting worse... hmm

    We're in Acworth GA and the amount of building they are doing is atrocious. It's not feeling like the south anymore. Shame.

    I was born and raised in Atlanta. I have seen it go to complete shit with the influx of people coming from other states. The native Georgians can't afford to live here anymore. IT SUCKS

    I'm fleeing Athens Ga. I'm not paying this much money to fight roaches. The traffic is getting on nerves too.

    I live in Columbus. We have an inept city government and it’s over-developed with no entertainment.

    I can help you out. I’ve been a banker for this area for 25 years. I can tell you the reason it’s poor politics and ignorant voters that destroy this city if it were not for the medical and military industry it wouldn’t even exist!

    The Georgia market is much better than Florida! Florida’s market is beyond insane! You do pay less in taxes than GA but you are going pay double or triple for home owners insurance!

    All these areas use to be nice affordable safe places. Now since Covid tons of Northern crime prone transplants have been driving prices up and driving Crime up. Macon especially use to be be safe. Now there are tons of Gangs. I lived there in the early 2000s completely SAFE. Now it’s almost as bad as Albany lol. 😂

    Fort Gordon no longer exists. Though the city of August may be losing residents, the towns and suburbs surrounding it are growing rapidly. New subdivisions are popping up so fast, the road system is becoming strained. Did she exclude the suburbs, which are part of the greater metropoliton are? Makes no sense.
