I could not wait to escape from "The Atl". And that A rating tells me something about Niche and what they think is a good place to live. I lived in Atlanta for 30/years, ran a small risk mgmt consulting business and surveyed many commercial businesses. I have lived in many big cities, most of which are hellholes and ATL is not only not an exception but is the poster child. Now, if you want to be dodging trucks on freeways, being submersed in victimhood culture, like Hip Hop and the culture of crime and want your children exposed to hatred and guilt because public schools teach CRT incessantly, go for it. Its your kind of place. If that's not enough to reconsider what the very Liberal leaning Ted Turner once said that Atlanta was a "hellhole" (look it up) after years of freaknik debauchery, its also one of the kinkpins of Sex Trafficking. Yeah ATL!
I’ve never done a review on a city before, but Atlanta, GA is so horrible I want to try to warn as many people as possible to not waste their time coming here. From the terrible parking (ps most places require valet or paying a meter), the overcrowded streets that are littered with trash and potholes, the abundance of homeless people, the lack of entertainment for children, the overpriced EVERYTHING, the mediocre restaurants, to the dirty buildings. Absolutely everything about this city is disgusting. Initially came here for the aquarium and even that was lackluster. 0/10 for this dump!
Like most places, rent has skyrocketed in the last few years. Consequently, my review/feelings are colored by my own housing insecurity. That being said, Atlanta is an international city with the busiest airport in the world. There's plenty to do, plenty to eat, & plenty of people to meet!
