Curious what people think. I'm originally from Atlanta and It's a a smaller city city with about 88,838 people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 4 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. A lot has changed in the past few years though. pet-friendliness used to be much wild but now it's underrated.
