Atlanta not the same

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Atlanta is the home of the gays

You can be in ATL and not see a white person for days

You lying breh

You have posters from ATL in this same thread agreeing with OP. So one of you are lying.

Atlanta is the home of the gays

I think we like to get our jokes in about ATL, but when I visit, I don’t see gay people like that. I see more whites than gays.

Everybody is moving to ATL because its "cheaper" compared to places like NYC, Cali, DC and Boston.

Don't forget that there are a LOT of people moving there that have the ability to work from home whose job is based out of a high COL city. My agency alone has about 150 people working in the Atlanta area full time from home and they are coming down there with dual income $60-$150k salaries buying up spots that they couldn't buy in the DC area. One of my coworkers just bought a condo in Midtown for a fraction of what a condo would cost in DC.

Atlanta and Charlotte tick a shytload of boxes for folks that work from home.

Quite the opposite for me. Black people everywhere you look, its comforting as hell for brehs that didnt grow up in a majority black community,

I went back home for Thanksgiving and went out to eat with my fam. I only saw two other black families, I was uncomfortable as hell.

In Atlanta it''s atleast 50% black ppl even in the most upscale restaurants. When I travel to other cities for business meetings, it takes me about 20-30 minutes to be cool with not seeing black people everywhere.

I'm thankful as fukk for Atlanta, I'll probably never leave. There are like 100+ middle class predominately black nice neighborhoods here. I'm raising my kids here to experience that. Brehs who grew up here don't know how good they got it. I'm thankful for it, on some real shyt.

Can’t co-sign this enough. My wife moved here for me two years ago from Dallas and she’s still in awe of how many Black people there are everywhere regardless of socioeconomic status.

I was a teenager back then

But after ATL became overpopulated, over ratchet, and expensive in every aspect of life, its not the same. Its like any gentrified city with too many CACs and nepotism.

Atlanta always been “over ratchet” lol

What types of jobs are these that pay that much that allows folks to work from home? I may have to change careers

My absolute favorite thing about my city are the black suburbs. You have your ratchet suburbs, your middle class & your wealthy black suburbs.

only time I see a white person is when I run into the one white teacher we have at the school I work at or one of the students

It varies. The bulk of those jobs are in software/tech, sales, data entry, some aspects of law. On the government side? Damn near anything that doesn't require any face to face interactions with customers, but they're hard to come by.

Examples:
Lease Management Specialist
Lead Paralegal Specialist

Those jobs are based out of high COL cities but after a while working in the office they let you work wherever.

Mexican, vietnamese, and korean communities are heavy in metro Atlanta

Sounds like Buford highway, Norcross, or Duluth lol

 

[Tiffrock]

You must have been in Alpharetta or Milton

I have to go out my way to be in a place where cacs are the majority.

ain’t no way you were in Dekalb, Clayton, south or west Fulton. Hell even Douglas County is starting to become majority black

shyt Alpharetta, Cumming,and Milton..even Dunwoody..Indians are setting up

Frfr. It would do wonders for the worldview of a young person growing up to see so many blacks all around.

I was riding down Metropolitan yesterday, and saw a whole white family on bikes near that Chevron across from the Jamaican shack on the corner of Metro and University Ave
