Top 10 reasons NOT to move to Atlanta, Georgia. #2 is enough for me.

This is my top 10 list of reasons not to move to Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta is a great state that I love to visit, it also has some not such great places and things.
Thanks for stopping by The channel, my name is Briggs and I make lists. Not just lists of random stuff, I make them about places in the United States (Canada soon as well). I will show you where to live and where not to live. I will tell you where to stay away from and where it is relatively safe to visit. I post once a week and sometimes twice, so please subscribe and enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by my channel. I post at least once a week. I like to get 2 a week sometimes that doesn't happen. I do lists about locations. I do both pro and con versions of each location. Enjoy

I’ve lived in Atl all my life and was born in east side medical. The traffic is bad and the bugs can be crazy at points but not O.D. The heat isn’t terrible, it’s the humidity that really kills. I love Atlanta because you have two sides of the city. The complete utter city life where you can buy designer clothes, people watch, see you favorite artist, and so on and so forth. Or you can have a full on nature in-depth experience where you can climb up mountains that we have up in Kennesaw which is only an hour away from the city or go camping. It’s a lot of fun to be at and would completely recommend people to come down and visit and see what I mean

Nathan Butsch agrees! 💯

[@apexone5502]

That's what I love about Atlanta and the metro area. I always say that it's the best of both worlds. When you want to experience the big city life, it's available. You want to experience small town or country living, it's also available. Even Fulton county has areas that have the country/small town feel despite being the county that Atlanta is located in. I live in Kennesaw, so I know exactly what you're talking about.

If you mind your business then I wouldn't see why other people living their best lives would bother you. I have lived here in Atlanta for 17 years all over the city.

[@jdraze9321]

I’m a native ATLien and this guys not wrong about a lot of the things in this video. But #1 at the end is an utter fallacy. ATL does not have 11 months of summer. The first cold snap can happen early as October and cold weather can go as late as May. What does happen though is two different systems basically compete over shaping the climate, the Gulf Stream and the North Pacific Current. These two currents almost intersect over the Piedmont Plateau, and it fucking sucks in the winter. You might think warm currents in the middle of winter are great with 70 degree weather out the blue, but it messes up your immune system, so it’s better to have a set temperature for your body to acclimate to, which is why there’s always mild-cold/flu epidemics in ATL every few years. And on a side note, mid ranged North American wintry climate extends as far south as the Florida panhandle. So it low key pissed me off when that man said 11 months of summer and this video got like 1M views cause that shit is insanely inaccurate lol

Things you forgot to mention... 1. Sprawl - everything is SUPER spread out and it takes FOREVER to get even a short distance at times 2. Pollen season - it thoroughly coats everything yellow and exacerbates allergies and headaches 3. Poor mass transit - for a major city like Atlanta, Marta is absolutely despicable 4. Racism - The KKK STILL has rallies in downtown Atlanta regularly 5. No water - Seas/Oceans/Lakes that usually make a city nicer are totally absent here 6. Poor/No Sidewalks - while it is improving gradually, many areas still aren’t walkable 7. Inflated rent - too many places charge like its prime beach front property............it’s not 8. Sports - The teams in Atlanta aren’t bad per se, but they definitely leave you wanting more 9. People - not all, but still WAY too many here have a TERRIBLY over-inflated sense of self that doesn’t at all match what they have to offer. Locals know it as “Atlanta-tude” 10. Not quite “there” yet - Atlanta is a city with a LOT of potential, but still has yet to fully and completely realize it. It just always feels like it’s on the verge of “getting there”, but not quite.

Atlanta is not that hot really. I come from Miami where you get 85 deg muggy ass weather in fucking November and December. ATL stays consistently between mid 30s and low 60s from October throughout March. It really gets hot in June and July though, but then gradually dies down, unlike Florida.

ATL6 Garrett you are so right. I’ve lived here my entire life. I now live in England during the months of May - July. The palmetto bug is sincerely the most heinous, fastest, and disturbing insect to have to deal with in all of the Deep South. They average 2” long and are indeed a member of the cockroach family. They live in trees, like wood, paper and cardboard. They can fly and appear out of nowhere. We keep our house sprayed 12 mos a year. Have tried the old remedies such as sprinkling Borax detergent around the outer perimeter of our house. Nothing works. We are having a wetter and colder winter than usual and yet we killed on yesterday that was crawling across our pillow in bed. So then at 12:10 am we are changing sheets. We also have a pool and a small lake on our property so when ghee weather gets dry we have even more. Welcome to Ga folks.

My rent for a 1000 sq ft apartment is 3000 dollars a month in Los Angeles. You don't know what expensive means . I used to live in Marietta around 2014 and my 3 bedroom 1300 SQ ft apartment was about 1100 dollars maybe , so even though I had a low paying job , it was very easy to live

[@dwaynegeejr]

Anthony Malik like today lol

[@anthonymalik9952]

Most people incorrectly think Florida when they think Atlanta. Atlanta has sweltering summers but its consistently 30 degrees in the winter and not uncommon to be in the 20s during the early AM. Then this time of the year its literally 32 when you wake up and 75 by midday. This guy's making it sound like it's invariably hot here which is absolutely false.

Atlanta is an amazing place to live idk what this video is talking about. I live here and the suburbs are perfect.

[@MA-zg2pz]

Lies. I’ve lived there my entire life. Half in the Cobb county suburbs and half in Atlanta proper. In the suburbs you’ll be married to your car and there’s nothing to do except the random strip malls and other garbage entertainment. In Atlanta all you can do is eat. The sidewalks and streets are destroyed. Destroyed. Walkability is a joke. Its just really dead end place. I finally moved out to the west coast. Just escaping the humidity alone is a dream.

[@Johnny-Lawn]

Atlanta is pretty much full of transplants from other states. Crime is mostly on the southside of Atlanta (one of the reasons the braves moved to Cobb county.) Agree that bugs are bad here. The people in rural Georgia are actually some of the nicest you’ll ever meet. They may look like roughnecks and give you a hard time, but they generally live by the golden rule (even if you try to impose your liberal ideology)

Do not live inside the perimeter. No. Get yourself out to the suburbs. Don't go anywhere near south Atlanta. Stay on the north west side.

[@alanpatrick8899]

I live in Stockbridge and I'll take it any day over the North side. Cobb and Gwinnett are just impossible to get around in. Too much traffic too built up. Henry county on the Southside is a much better place to live. You can get more house for your money there's plenty of commercial areas and while traffic can be bad in spots( stay away from I 75 as much as possible) it's not everywhere like it is on the north side. I love the Georgia mountains but the north metro sucks especially Alpharetta Roswell Marietta and Smyrna. I live in Henry and work in Newton county. 45 miles one way but I can always get there in 45 minutes.
