Hi. I'm a Guy in his mid 40's, Blue collar guy. I'm considering moving to Atlanta. QUESTION I HAVE, is where to live. Rent is much higher I noticed, but I have a budget of around $1,100- 1,200 Monthly for a 1 bedroom rental. There are so many places, it's confusing. I want to live among other like myself. Any recommendations? Thanks....Donnie

Are you trying to live in the city itself or the suburbs?

What do you mean? You want to live around others men that are in their mid-40s and blue collar?

or is there some other defining factor? Lifestyle, interests etc?

I am 32, engineer, after living in Atlanta for 2 years, I really hate this city. Nothing downtown (living) is reasonable. Unless it's section 8, and good luck with that. The traffic is downright aweful. It serves as a time to reflect why you decided to move to atlanta in the first place. Crime. We have to commute 50 minutes each way to send our kid (8y/o) to a school that isnt terrible. I would really evaluate if there are other options that are not a gridlocked ghetto.

Look here Donnie, we need more info:

Do you have kids?
City or suburbs?
"Like myself?" There's blue collar folks all over. Be more specific.
Do you mind a commute? What are your work hours?
You have a car or need public transportation?
Do you travel for work and need to be near the airport?
And most important of all.....Will you be bringing Marie?
