I am a 21 year old black male looking to either move to Tampa, FL, Dallas, Texas, or Atlanta, GA. I am currently in the IT field as far as working (Working on my Cisco CCENT and plan to go for my cisco certificates next and going to college again). I am currently stuck between moving to Tampa, Dallas, and ATL! I'm looking for info about each city..including:

Neighborhoods (Good areas):

Apartment prices:

City life:

Restaurants:

Activities:

Amusement Parks:

Commute:

People:

Weather:

Traffic:

Crime

Any other info:

Age groups:

Job opportunity:

Auto-Insurance:

Taxes:

Any info is good info!

Let's start this way. What kinds of things are you specifically looking for in your new city AND where are you moving from? All 3 of those cities have way more pros than cons. And IT field will work with any of them.

If you want nicer weather and beaches, Tampa. However, I think ATL will fit you best.

I would choose Atlanta because of IT. Also, I believe Atlanta has a better job market in general. Although, Tampa has nice weather but that's subjective I guess.

Well all places here have hot summers, so that should be disqualified. Tampa by far has the nicest winters. And a summer advantage it has over ATL and Dallas is that it has beautiful beaches nearby to cool off in. ATL and Dallas are both inland and far from the ocean. They may have swimming pools but so does Tampa.
