Georgia 2nd Tier Cities, Why ALL THE HATE? (Columbus, Savannah: neighborhoods, restaurants)

Macon is not Columbus biggest competition,there's no doubt that Columbus blows out Macon. Columbus biggest competition is Tallahassee, Florida and Montgomery, Alabama. Both are state capitals and are surrounding Columbus. All three cities are similar in city and metro population.

Same thing goes for Augusta, Atlanta to the west and Columbia SC to the east. Both are capitals.

But Augusta doesn't compete with Atlanta on anything and never will. What he is saying is that Columbus competes with/looks to Tallahassee and Montgomery as competition since all of the cities are similar in population/size.

Columbus became consolidated in 1971,before that Columbus already over 155,000+ people living in the city.

1960
116,000+

1970
155,000+

1971
Became Consolidated

1980
169,000+

And you stupid if you think Columbus became consolidated for population growth. Clearly not. Columbus became consolidated because of the needing of land mass. Now Augusta on the other hand became consolidated because it need more Pop.

Care to share why Augusta did it for population as opposed to Columbus doing it for land mass?
