I’m thinking about moving back to the south. Specifically Atlanta. Convince me why it’s a good or bad idea

[the bossman]

The only place I'd ever consider leaving the DMV for is Atlanta.

Yes there's stupid traffic. But the pros still outweigh the cons. Nothing like being amongst your people

 

[Dr. Acula]

But y'all got

The mountains and desert are nice actually. I can pull over driving around, especially at sunset and take postcard style shot on a whim easily.
Like I can just see scenes like this driving around in evening

We got that...and thats it. Food is actually pretty good too. But it all gets old quick.

But outside of that, just a bunch of junkies roaming the street and no real cultural life.

I’m gonna use your thread to ask the same question about moving from Florida to the DMV. I have a cousin in DC who loves it. But he’s also well off and works for the pentagon

Tell us exactly what are you looking for.


Do you want festivals that cater to Black folks?


Do you want to be able to go out on a week night on a Tuesday or Wednesday at a rooftop or lounge and find a decent party?


What are you looking for breh?

Y'all got weed and latina shawties
I visited ASU for a school tour it was dope

We are full.

No we’re not. Not even close

To answer the OP, Atlanta’s a great place to live. What’s most important to you at this phase in your life?

Yes we are

 

[DaddyFresh]

I say stay in Tucson. Atlanta is cool but it's becoming overcrowded. A lot of jobs and opportunities are out there in Arizona. Atlanta it's more competitive.

The soul food is better in Georgia but the mexican food is better in AZ. Why do you want to move back to Atlanta?

Or move to a PHX suburb. Arizona is booming like it just joined the union right now lol.

 

[Devilinurear]

Looking at possibly a new job and Atlanta is at the top of my mind. Convince me why it may be a good idea or not.

Bad
Sun doesn't sey until 9 and rises at 6. Doesn't give you much time

3 pages in and nobody's even asked any relevant questions.



- In which industries do you and your girl work?
- Are you able to work remotely?

Those two will greatly effect where you can move, or whether a commute is even a consideration on a daily basis.


- Is there a future with this woman? I there a future for her with you?
- Are you both going to invest in a home, a community, together?

Those directly affect where you'd want to live, commute(s) or not.




Any questions that follow derive from the answers to those basics.



Otherwise, Atlanta is full. Please enjoy Montana.

There’s literally traffic every single day of the week at all times of the day.

Driven around 285 lately?…especially near Dunwoody?

We are full OP. Plus there is alot of old racism and crime. Stay out west.

I’m stuck on 285 RIGHT NOW

Been 10 miles straight bumper to bumper. fukk ATL. It’s easier to drive 50 miles south out the city than it is to go 5 miles in the perimeter

 

[skeetsinternal]

I wear condoms in ATL

 

[trapnerd]

The whites took over Atlanta.

So because there’s traffic in random parts of Atlanta we’re full? It’s a lazy and tired perspective that’s not close to true

lol at “old racism and crime”. Stay in Dunwoody, hopefully that keeps you safe from all the “old racism and crime” in the city of Atlanta
