But it's irrelevent because Atlanta does not have "northern culture".

And DC is in the Northeast. It's just down the road from NYC. Atlanta is nowhere near the Northeast.

Yep. Exactly. If Long Island completely empties out and moves down to Atlanta, then does Atlanta become northern, too? This is pretty much what's happening today.

Sam Massell and Ivan Allen were both mayors of Atlanta and they both were Jewish.

Parts of Virgina is down the road from NYC and Virgina is considered a southern state.

Doesn't mean anything. It's the attitude of the vast majority of the population. Though Atlanta does tend to be diverse. Cobb County, only recently.

The same attitude as the Skinheads just outside the Philly burbs?

Probably a southern city with northeast culture. Atlanta would still be part of a deep south state.

Long Island is growing, and much more expensive and desirable than Atlanta, so this is BS.

And Georgia isn't one of the top relocation states for New Yorkers, so more BS.

The folks you might see from Long Island in Atlanta moved because they can't make it in the New York area. They are generally lower income and often are moving back "home" (often previous generations moved up north from places like Georgia).

Atlanta's growth machine has slowed down dramatically, and has always pulled folks primarily from the South, not the North.

Yes, many folks from the North have moved down too, but the vast majority of the folks are from the South, and the folks from the North stick out more because they are not the "norm".
