Two years ago, Priya Marzorati was apprehensive about her move from Buckhead to College Park to be closer to Woodward Academy, her daughter’s school.

But she quickly came to love the south Fulton County community — so much so that she was quick to defend it recently when College Park, along with East Point and Union City, appeared in February on a website’s list of the 50 worst cities in the United States.

If it were that bad I assume people would quit moving in and there would be a mass exodus of people moving out, which doesn't seem to be the case.
