Buckhead vs Hoboken (City life and Access) (California, living, better)

[TSQQST]

Well if you enjoy hanging with thuggy ghetto drag queens then you'll be feeling at home in Buckhead. I have never seem SO MANY gay thugs in my life! It was scary. They did not like me on their turf. Hoboken is so close to New York you get the culture of the city and the gays are pretty! :-)

OKKK!!!!

Yep. And you pretty much erase all credibility as a logical debator when you refer to houses such as Georgia's Governor's Mansion and the Chandler Estate as "tacky". I suppose you consider Monicello and even the White House to be tacky as well because they aren't Hoboken style urban high density row houses.

I had a very bad experience in some Atlanta clubs and when I was shopping at Buckhead I was nearly robbed by some very scary drag queens. It was a visit that I'll never forget and I don't plan on visiting again.

Hoboken is right across the river from Chelsea and so you have a few lost Chelsea boys who always make me smile.

Many of those "gay thugs" are transplants or visitors from New York. Seriously.

No, Buckhead is NOT a city. Buckhead is a neighborhood within the city limits of Atlanta.

Hoboken can't compete with Buckhead in highrises? True....... Guess what? Buckhead can't compete with Hoboken in vibrancy, energy, walkability or transit.

The fact someone can live in a mansion within the city limits of a major city is positive? You are proving Buckhead is sprawled, which is the major reason why people hate Atlanta on this site. Sprawl combined with the ignorance of their posters denying the sprawl while trying to pass MARTA off as a reliable transit system.

So, Buckhead is losing the poll because people love to hate Atlanta? Dude, most people know nothing about Hoboken. There is no tourists stuff to do there. Hoboken is simply a place that has great architecture, food, walkabililty, transit, energy and nightlife which is something Buckhead does not have.

Look I can see there is going to be no breakthrough with you. You are very provincial.

I never for one second denied that Hoboken was a great place. It wasn't always but its made signifigant stides as of late. I don't agree with those that say it a small suburb it's not. It is nice and underrated. However you are vastly misrepresenting Buckhead.

If you saying that buckhead can not compete with vibrantcy, archtecture, walkability, transit, energy, nightlife, and the heck with great food... famous restaurants... because it has mansions then that's as far as this conversation can go.

Buckhead has all those things and mansions. The mansions do not take away they add. I really don't see how they compare. Buckhead is massive compare to Hoboken and it offers so much more. Hoboken can't offer the highrises, they can't offer the mansions, they can't offer affuence, they can't offer the shopping etc... I would go futher but it just gets subjective after that (for instance I don't think it can compete with nightlife, but that's subjective.) I don't see a comparison.

I was in fear for my life. I don't have this fear in New York or in Hoboken. My perception is that Buckhead has a crime issue with an army of drag queens that are ready to battle you. The gay community is just more respectful of each other in other cities.

I really can't understand why you keep saying that when I have used MARTA to get to Lenox Square more times than I can count. You can get from Buckhead quickly to the Airport, Midtown, Downtown, Doraville, Decatur, Sandy Springs and a number of other places. I've often used it to get to all these places and I'm not poor to the person suggesting only poor use it. I see business people and tourist, students etc. use it as well.

Yeah MARTA isn't perfect but I have smelled p**s, seen homless sleeping and rats in the NYC subway. Plus seen an awful smelling garbage train ride by (whats up with that?) and watched a couple of hard knocks contemplating robbing me and my college friends until a transit cop came alone and they moved on.

So don't tell me PATH and NYC transit are flawless either.

You'd be amazed how many New Yorkers famous and not famous come to Atlanta to party. Weird for a sprawling little suburban metropolis huh?

Hoboken has mansions IN the sky, not on the ground lowering their density. Buckhead can't touch Hoboken on energy, amount of ppl on the streets, walkability, transit or diversity in food options.

You are wrong. Apparently you do not know Buckhead as well as you say you do. There is nothing wrong with transit in Buckhead it is well covered. Buckhead has Mansions in the sky and on the earth. Nothing wrong with choice my friend. Buckhead has all those things you say it does not. Show me how it does not. I can show you how Hobroken lacks compared to Buckhead. That's affluence, skyrises, mansions. Are you willing to back up those statements you made or are we just to believe you? How does Buckhead not have diveristy in food... do tell?
