Show me the way out!

In 12/08 I had the opportunity to relocate from my home to what I lovingly call "DISgusta" Georgia. I have never made a worse mistake in my life and cannot wait too escape. The socio-economic climate here is absolutely terrible. It seems in many ways they are still fighting the civil war. There are two classes of people here, the very rich and everybody else. And there is A LOT more everybody else. Unemployment is sky rocketing here and subsequently so is the crime rate. The town is filthy and littered with run down and abandoned buildings, factories, homes, and schools. The level of education here is...well let's just say far less then adequate. The streets are in terrible condition and traffic patterns are not conducive to allowing quick conveyence by any means. The general attitude of the populace seems to be 'When I hold out my hand, you put something in it because you owe me." I was unfortunately unable to do much research prior to moving here. I came for a short visit too find a home and get things going. I was rushed and only saw what I came here to see. Within 2 months I knew I had really made a major error. Of course if you visit the web site for the city you will be impressed by the seemingly picturesque charm. Don't be fooled, it is a lure to suck you in, they need a constant supply of new money and tax dollars coming in to replace those that are leaving in droves. This place is like a vampire sucking the life right out of any unfortunate souls that happen to cross it's path. Beware! Stay away! I myself am leaving ASAP and if Tiger Woods were to call me and offer me a free luxury trip to come see him play the master's, I will certainly decline. When I leave I will not return ever.
