Quite complaining about traffic

I moved to Atlanta for grad school and had hoped to stay there but couldn’t find a job so had to move. I have definitely liked Atlanta best of the places I have lived. I find it ironic how everyone is complaining about the traffic b/c what I liked best was that you had a lot of good in-town neighborhoods that were not prohibitively expensive. I lived in Druid Hills and was 3 miles from Midtown, Downtown, Buckhead, and Decatur (no reason to go anywhere else) and had a nicer apartment for half the price of my apt in DC. The only time I was ever on the highway was to go to the airport (from which you have a nonstop flight to almost every major city in the world). Of course housing is cheaper in the suburbs but that’s offset by the added transportation costs you have from living there. Plus you have a rail system that services all the main business centers. In Atlanta you had big city amenities at small city prices.
