Atlanta, Georgia SperlingViews

Atlanta,Jonesboro,Gwinett and lot's of other cities in Georgia are practically lawless.If you are coming from more civilized states you are used to friendly neighbors,store clerks just general good customer service, out here in Georgia the typical person you come in contact with is rude driving down the street is A very trying tasks seeing most of the population can't drive,your neighbor will most likely live in your house with you by infringing on your privacy without being invited,Most of the population out here is gay and angry the atmosphere is very tense coming from another state I guarantee you will regret moving here unless your moving down in Sahvanah. The housing market has dropped more than likely the house you purchase will be worth less than you paid for it drastically less the people down here are not civilized I feel horrible wasting my money moving here from California and you will too trust me save yourself DO NOT MOVE HERE PLEASE.

I have lived in lots of places and of course if you live in any city it is going to be bad. I live about an hour outside of Atlanta and it is fine. I just moved back to Atlanta from Orlando and believe me Atlanta is much better. The people where I live are friendly, there is little traffic on the roads, the schools are pretty good, the community has a great family feel to it. I would never live in Atlanta.... or any city.

re: - 12/3/2008
Hey, I couldn't said it better myself. Way too many ppl are blinded by the insistant boasting that the City does. I am glad that I am not the only one who sees this. Atlanta encouraged hordes of ppl to move here but, it rey ha maor problems handling the masses that already did. This was a formula for disaster and that is the current state. Corruption and nepotism in high places is prevalent (from law enforcement to commerce and gov't).

I use live in Atlanta and to be honest your making it more exciting and dramatic then it really is. Atlanta = Boring.

re: Horrible place to live - 12/16/2007 - 9/12/2008
Actually you don't want to move to Savannah. Savannah is rosy and romantic on film but in real life it's war zone. I went to SCAD and it was common to hear about students being killed or beaten up. It happened to me! I was beaten up by a gang and had my car stolen. Savannah sucks. Stay away from it. Atlanta is heaven compared to Savannah. Savannah is also rampant with roaches. They scatter away from your feet as you walk on the sidewalks at night. Savannah = Disgusting
