When you live in a tiny enclave of nicety in Atlanta, you are the exception. When someone says "ATL is a shithole" and you answer back with "My tiny enclave of nicety is very nice" you present as a moron.

Honest question - have you ever driven around Atlanta between 75 and 85 from Midtown to the Chattahoochee (and then extended all the way up to Dunwoody, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton into the mountains really)? Chastain, Mt Paran, Glenridge, Sandy Springs, Vinings, West Paces, etc? It's a pretty huge area of "solid to nice". It's not the Baghdad Green Zone.

I don't live in some gated community surrounded by cannibals

. I live in a neighborhood with no gates, no HOA, no nothing. Across Peachtree from us is another neighborhood like that. Another then another. And another. And 15 more all the way past 285 to the north and to and then over 400 to the West.

I was born in Piedmont hospital in 1978 and raised in the northern burbs you mentioned. My first job out of UGA was in Dunwoody. I have launched my boat from Azalea Drive on the Chattahoochee. My first real girlfriend went to Mt Paran Christian School. My good friend lives in downtown Roswell. My brookhaven office has a sister office in Alpharetta. Regarding the North Georgia mountains, yes I'm familiar with them. Very little of this has anything to do with Atlanta being or not being a shite hole. You are deflecting.

ETA-

You are Tryon too hard, Duke.
