Agree, this is better suited in city vs. city where OP will get more than one side of the story...

But based on the responses OP, I think you have your answer as to whether you should relocate to Atlanta.

Houston doesn't have the same inferiority, insecurity complex that several posters have demonstrated.

Despite what you get here, Atlantans are remarkably polite and friendly for such a big city.

Traffic is actually worse here as you have fewer alternative routes and fewer freeways and things are spread around more.

Both do have lots of mosquitos.

There's a different feel to the cities, but both are modern Sun Belt American.

There is a city to city forum which has a lot of these comparisons.

Most cities in the same country are going to have a lot of similarities, especially cities both located in and around the same general region (the Sun Belt/ the South), and both Houston and Atlanta being relatively liberal cities in relatively conservative states. I'd say Georgia is slightly less conservative than Texas, and Atlanta is probably slightly less conservative than Houston.

That said, there are plenty of differences. What kind of things are you specifically wondering about?

Wherever you end up though, I hate people like you and I hope you get run over by a Mack truck. Good luck on your job opportunity.

Both metros have tons of freeways and suburban office clusters and malls and cheaper newer 4-5 bd subdivision houses in the perimeter areas, etc. Both have pro sports teams. Both have gay areas and hipster hoods and zagat restaurants, blah blah blah. Both have an influx of northerners and foreigners and Hispanics.

I'm envisioning complete homogenization driven by politically-correct diversity/globalism at its worst in both places. Modern US cities are victims of Leftist-diversicrat-sharia, forced global homogenization, and they are all the same boring thing. Nothing unique any more. I was in Dublin, Ireland recently and was appalled at the Temple Bar area and how its embrace of diversity and globalism has made the place totally boring, not unique, not Irish, and basically like anywhere else with a bunch of diverse bars and restaurants faking some other locale or country. It's like the whole world is turning into an Epcot, ersatz version and this is spreading everywhere.

So what the heck is the difference btw Houston and Atlanta in 2017?!!

Let's just say there are too many non-White people in both places for you.

And this involves or interests you how?

Talk about total disrespect towards Atlanta. Be gone, before someone drops a beautiful Atlanta house on you!

Thanks. Basically, it appears that nobody has an answer as to how they are different thus far. Maybe we'll get some positive input from some more tolerant and happier people.

EXCUSE me? Did you even read the OP's original post?

And if you don't think a lot of Houstonians have a HUGE chip on their shoulders, check out the City vs City room sometime...

Just going by your initial post, you would hate it here.

Turn down the transfer, you would be miserable.
