Have you ever even been to Atlanta? Just because a place doesn't have 50000000000000 people per square mile doesn't mean it's not crowded. What's your deal? I swear you always make posts without knowing what the hell you're talking about.

Yeah, I thought Atlanta had a reputation for being spread out for a city of its size. But still, road congestion can be a big issue.

I've never been to New York, but there is such a thing as 'too dense'. I like urban living, but ideally a city like Berlin that's somewhat dense but not very dense - it's interesting but not overwhelmingly large or confusing.

Traffic in Atlanta is horrendous, it's nearly as bad as Miami's.

The I 75-85 connector is horribly choked in Atlanta during rush hour. Plus, there are frequent accidents on that route due to erratic lane shifts.

And the drivers SUCK. One ***** was happily yapping away on her phone and didn't notice the walk signal. She nearly ran me over, and later yells at me for jaywalking . I felt like punching her in the face.

Queens is the 4th densest County in the United States, and the other three are all in New York. Queens has a population density of around 20k/square mile, while Atlanta is around 3k/square mile. In fact the only cities that are even close to having Queens density would he San Francisco, Boston, Philly, and surpsingly, Jersey City. Come on man, it's just looking up statistics, it's not rocket science

Btw I have been to Atlanta before, my mom's relatives live there

I haven't been there, but I can check density numbers; medium sized Massachusetts cities have neighborhoods denser than anywhere in Atlanta. Seems a stretch to call it crowded. Think I know what I'm talking about. I swear you're just arguing for the sake of it.

I guess the stereotype is that public transportation is insufficient in the U.S., and more people in a city like Atlanta drive rather than take mass transit, so that certainly contributes to the reportedly severe road congestion.

I was never disputing that Atlanta was crowded as Queens or NY, but he was trying to make it seem like it was desolate or something lol. Atlanta can be very crowded, like I said the traffic during rush hour is nearly as bad as Miami, you wouldn't say Miami is crowded? I will say Atlanta is very sprawled out, but to act like the "silence will kill you" or whatever is ridiculous. It's Atlanta, not Langdon, North Dakota.


Also, it's very easy to say it isn't crowded when you've never been there lol. Go to Atlanta at 5-6 PM and tell me it's not crowded or at least full of people.

It's like a NASCAR race around here. Traffic came to a standstill 3 separate times from Macon to Atlanta due to accidents.

The Atlanta metro has almost as many people as the state of Massachusetts.
