Miami vs Atlanta? (cost, state, better, comparison)

[jgamibi]

This thread is not about Indian guys, not about Hispanic women, it is about people and cities, alright!?

Out of Miami and Atlanta,

Which city is

1. More integrated in terms of population?

2. Has a better school system?

3. Has a more reasonable cost of living?

4. Has more to do?

Never been to either city, but Miami is at the top of the list of places I want to visit.

Atlanta is at the top of the list of cities I have no desire to visit.

So, Miami, Miami, Miami!

If you dont go to Miami, you will regret it for the rest of your life

I believe that Atlanta is cheaper( property tax, insurance of house,rent...)

So true French, so true. But when there's FL theres always a silver lining. No state income tax, property values right now dirt cheap in Miami, thanks housing crash!

I will take Miami, not the only one, Lebron wanted South Beach too.

Miami has a mix of cultures (heavy hispanics/spanish, with whites and blacks)

Atlanta is mainly black people.

The correct info for the city level as of 2009 is:
Atlanta city, GA; Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, GA Metro Area - ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates: 2005-2009

Black: 49.7%
White: 40.8%
Latino: 5.3%
Asian: 3.1%

This isn't dissimilar to say DC:

DC:
Washington city, DC; Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metro Area - ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates: 2005-2009

Black: 54.6%
White: 31.9%
Latino: 8.5%
Asian: 3.5%

Or Philly:
Philadelphia city, PA; Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD Metro Area - ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates: 2005-2009

Black: 41.9%
White: 39.7%
Latino: 11%
Asian: 5.5%



But definitely more diverse at the city level than say Miami:
Miami city, FL; Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL Metro Area - ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates: 2005-2009

Latino: 68.2%
Black: 18.8%
White: 11.6%
Asian: 0.8%


So, if you are going to make a charge, at least do your homework or at least pretend like you actually been here.

Those are for city propers, no one in the world goes based solely off city propers. Washington DC's city limits are 6 miles X 10 miles in size. That's not even a fair comparison. Metropolitan Areas are the better route.

I agree,Miami seems more profitable for rich people.Atlanta seems better for the middle class

You realize the Atlanta metro gets way less black the further you get from the city right?
