Review of Atlanta, Georgia


No straight roads.
Star Rating - 8/1/2018
I have had the pleasure of living in 11 different states which now includes GA. These have all been major cities. I have also visited an additional 29 states over the years. My impression of the GA and Atlanta is not good. The people are GREAT, the geography sucks. No straight roads, and lots of neighborshoods that don't connect. The folks in charge of planning never planned on traffic, and how to deal with it. I have noticed that people are impatient in all things. The poverty level is the biggest hurdle to a better quality of life. The best solution to poverty is higher education, greater number of folks with degrees raise the economy for everyone.
My degree is in Geography with a focus on cities. I love to live in a place that has diversity in the population. The lack of disposable income in the population of the Atlanta and metroplex area is a product of education.

Ok, the roads are winding and change names, but living in Tucker is hardly living in Atlanta. Would you review NYC based on Newark? Atlanta has a quite high education level-- not as great as Boston-- but education can always be improved. It has over 100 universities and colleges in the metro, so opportunity is better here than many places. One star is harsh, but again, Tucker?
