Yet if Atlanta was ranked #1-5, you'd be praising the list. Double standards anyone?

No Ant. I always make a comment about how stupid these lists are. Feel free to check my post history.

Websites are constantly making up lists like this with little to no methodology. They post the results in a format where you have to click to see each individual result so they make ad money every time you load the next result.

I wouldn't care if people just ignored these lists. But they get cited and used to form opinions. And they are all worthless.

As much as I love Atlanta. I must agree with the ranking, but Midtown Atlanta could change that ranking. I was in Chicago the #4 city on the list this past weekend, and the Millennials makes the nightlife so vibrant in Chicago . It appears that Chicago not only pull in the young crowd, but the older residential and business people of Chi-town also. I can only think of one area in Atlanta that would be a perfect example of what I saw in Chicago, and that is Midtown Atlanta. I am convince that you must have a perfect blend of residential, business, and leisure(tourist), which Midtown Atlanta is drawing and growing in . Chicago weekend nightlife shock the hell out of me , so many people hanging out Downtown.

As far as rail goes, there is one commuter line with nine stations, connecting downtown to Leander, a suburb north of town. I have no personal experience with their transit system, but I know it's less extensive than anything Houston or Dallas have. This is a fact overlooked by most people who attempt to tout Austin as the most urban city in the state.

Raleigh has the bare minimum bus transit and that it isn't walkable is putting it mildly. That's probably why it isn't that high.

I'm not sure that's it, tiki.

A lot of those cities are much smaller than we are. DC, SF, Boston, Pittsburgh and Minneapolis are less than half our size.

Denver and Seattle are roughly comparable to us in area yet they wind up with low to average crime ratings.
