I just moved from off Northside Dr. where the violence was getting worse. My boyfriend and I had to call the police 2x and the cops never showed up.

There are hardly any jobs here in Atlanta, or anywhere else. The new mayor of Atlanta isn’t going to do anything the last one didn’t. I believe it’s the people behind the leader. All of our cities, our country is in so much debt, we’re facing a depression. Who is our country in debt to and why do our leaders keep making deals with them?

Blows my mind!

Sandra, I completely agree with you. I live in Duluth, GA where I don’t have a problem with police coming within 5 minutes. Atlanta has to get it together. This is the reason corporations are moving from the area. The only large company here is Delta and even they thought about moving out and heading to Memphis,TN.

@MsG - I agree all cities & states are in a financial crisis. You have to take the good with the bad. As a woman its the DL men & I now can choose to drive or take public transportation. But winters in Chi force me to visit FL&GA often.

I tell that to all my friends and family back in NY unless they are really struggling DON’T move here. I really don’t get the hype about Atlanta its all right.

Those that are struggling I advise to move here only if their options are limited on getting out of NY. Like they already have people here etc. If you’re just wanting to get out of NY, Atlanta should not be a the top of the list.

You got all the traffic of NY, the lower wages NO LONGER allow better living with the increased cost of it here. The food here is GARBAGE. People ARE NOT FRIENDLIER. You MUST drive.

On the atlanta side the weather is better.
