Review of Atlanta, Georgia
It calls itself a city.

Hot, humid, with some of the heaviest traffic in the United States, cultural life meager, modest public transportation, parks in scarce supply, a great big suburb calling itself a city.

Yes to hot and humid and heavy traffic. Heat and humidity are hallmarks of the South and traffic is part of urban life. But if you can't find cultural life, public transit or parks, that's your own failing. You'll find lovely parks in every neighborhood except perhaps those that have been dense with buildings since the Reconstruction. You sound like one of those guys who goes to Chicago and complains because the pizza isn't like you get from your neighborhood Pizza Hut.

I'm planning to move there in near future. From a hell hole crime infested sick populated superficial city called L.A. !! Where it has nothing to offer except prostitution,superficial life style,and bunch of Hollywood sick minded way of life! Most people here are single or have been divorced at least twice or more ! That should tell you something! It is the most horrible place to raise a family. I pray for the time to see California going underwater with all the people in it .off course I wouldn't be here at that time..!!
