Americans were fleeing Europe. Atlanta is a city of transplants fleeing snow.
Seems accurate

If it weren't for Atlanta, Georgia would be a shithole like Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina.

For the most part, you are correct. South Georgia is a wasteland but the coast (Savannah to St. Marys) is very nice and I don't think MS and AL have the equivalent, and I'm not even taking into account the North Georgia "Mountains."
Thank nature for South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, New Jersey and Louisiana.

I'm a lifelong south Georgian with roots going back forever on both sides of my family. Having said that I fully plan to move to extreme north Georgia or possibly even further north within the next 3-4 years because of the climate and landscape - to name a few reasons. HOWEVER If you can't find beauty in the rivers, farm land, swamps, and pine forests of south Georgia then we can just agree to disagree. I think most would agree that it's not as striking as then Blue Ridge Mountains BUT a wasteland ? Nah.

Yeah, I've met some cool people from S. Ga and I'm sure there's some attractive landscape but those summers are unreal. Not that North Ga's are cool, but I'm not into that 95-99 stuff.

Each to his own, but I wouldn't live in Atlanta for lover nor money.
I can live in many, many places that are safer, less congested and have as many amenities that are more accessible with much less hassle and are desirable locations. In other words, all the good and much less of the bad.
To hold out metropolitan areas with demographics that most closely match the author's vision or the national scale as the ideal place to live is just stupid.

Savannah makes up for a lot. The port is absolutely booming along with the city itself.

Agree 100% percent.
There are 300 plus million people living on the 2 plus billion acres of land known as “america“. So, for some academic/economist to label a city as “american”……… is to throw all 300 mil americans into a blender and produce some kind of bland, homogenized, character-less, culture-less, god-less, cookie cutter, multi-cultural, helpless wad of cesspool goo…..the end result a dumbed down metro feminized soulless zombie trash and rabble smoothie.
WHICH DEFINES ATLANTA TO a “T”. And every single other big city.
Congrats atl rat racer worker bees! You are each an indistinguishable invisible ingredient of a quadruple vanilla air-flavored smoothie!! akjal;eijrldfjkna[ong

Edited: I listed pros and cons. But the short of it is, like any place, South Georgia has its pros and cons.

Lots of cons and future cons. If you like flat, featureless land and lots of fast food restaurants, plus a Baptist church on every block filled with a lot of hypocrites, South GA's your place. Then you have to be able to put up with the fact that everyone in town will know all of your business, plus some they make up. Then there's the fact that most South, GA towns don't get a lot of outside influx, so the gene/thought pool is very, very shallow. I've lived for many years in both places. Give me Metro Atlanta or North, GA 100 times over South, GA, except for the coast.

I would first choose extreme NE Ga as a place to live followed by the Lake Hartwell area and then probably NW Ga. But I would live ANYWHERE in Georgia over "metro Atlanta." I would rather live on some acreage in the poorest SOWEGA county and haul my kids 45 minutes one way to a private school before I had to live in ATL. To each his own. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.
