All good points and there are a lot of great things about Atlanta too. 😁

Native born Atlantan here. I absolutely HATE Atlanta. I find almost nothing here of redeemable value The traffic is horrendous, it's too crowded, and the humidity is unbearable. The only time I feel good when I'm in the City of Atlanta is when I remember that I won't be there long. The metro area isn't much better.

Yes, we have humidity but I don't think it lingers as much as in other cities like New Orleans, Houston, or parts of Florida. I can bear it for a few months. Traffic has gotten worse - no denying that!

Every big city has problems. If you think the grass is greener on the other side, it never is.

Totally agree!

I agree with you concerning "luxury apartments". That term is a misnomer, s fallacy. Using that phraseology is just a way for marketers to feed the ego of those who are susceptible to vanity. And there are plenty of people who perpetually dwell in that category, so I imagine business must be good.

Very good point! I feel like every apartment building is deemed "luxury."

I just got through watching this video and i read all the comments and i just wanna say to all of the people that commented- every major city has flaws, not just Atlanta. Always remember that

So true. The grass isn't always greener. And there are certainly many great things to love about Atlanta (I tried to reiterate that in the video).

as a big architecture follower, i agree with your statement regarding all these boring midrises we are getting in atlanta. the same consistent 300 ft apartments with a parking deck are bleh. but i will say, the o4w New City developments(as well as much of the w midtown ike you mentioned) are some of the more exciting and attractive developments ive seen anywhere outside of nyc and chicago.

Yeah, I wish they would build more interesting buildings like the iconic Bank of America building. They just don't build them like that anymore.

I've been in Atlanta (North Fulton County) since 1982. I'm done with Atlanta as soon as my oldest son gratuates from UGA next Spring. One of my biggest gripes is that we only have ONE airport. They brag about it on the news how we're "THE WORLDS BUSIEST AIRPORT!" like that's great for the user. Sure you can get a direct flight to most places but when you have to be there 2 hrs before your flight and wait on a 30 min TSA Precheck security line, just adds more time to your travel day. Hell, if the drive is less than 7 hrs, I'd prefer the drive than dealing with the crack staff at the ATL airport. Oh, and add corruption to your list. Can't wait to move to a lake soon. The Californians can keep the ATL...

I used to live in Houston that had 2 airports which was nice to have an alternative option when looking for flights - not going to lie about that!

if you look at Atlanta on the map, the major roads look like a wagon wheel which when compared to a grid system is a horrible design. What in the world were interstate designers thinking when they merged 75 and 85 through the city vs keeping them separate with 2 or three connectors. If they had, Atlanta would probably have a lot more grid like areas and better traffic flow. Update: I posted this comment before she mentioned the grid system.

Ugh, I wish we had more of a grid system! Not sure what the thought process was on the design. I think the city just exploded before plans could come together.
