The city is also relatively small so that could be why the crime index is so high....
Also San Fran

That's right, make it up as you go along. The city's population has been on a steady upswing since 1990. Apparently these people aren't cowering in a corner like you are.

It only rose like 10k or something based on Census from 2000-2010...that's a very small population increase. Compare it to the metro on a whole which rose by 1.2 million...it's negligible...

I never said I was scared, but facts are facts. The FBI shows through its stats Atlanta is not a safe city...

Welp, I guess Atlanta has managed to make a dramatic shift in it's position on the most dangerous cities list. Now, it seems Atlanta moved from 7th to 23th...not bad...

Most Dangerous Cities In America - Business Insider

I will say I take back what I said about 7th most dangerous city, but it's still a relatively dangerous city...

Then we have this...Just soooo ghetto...You don't see cities like Dallas or Houston having incidents like this that become nationwide.

Houston, ironically, at another sneaker (Jordans) release.



Dallas

By percentage, Atlanta city growth is far surpassing suburban growth:


In fact, we're #2 in the nation for highest percentage of urban city growth compared to suburban growth.

How is that possible? Look at the population difference between 2000 and 2010...I mean, seriously, it was barely a 10k population increase.... 10k/420k or 1.1M/4.1M at the time. Suburbs had a much higher population increase, percentage and raw numbers wise....That charts makes absolutely zero sense....

But if that chart is true, by 2020, Atlanta should have at least 800k residents, thus a pop density is nearly 8k approaching LA city densities.
