Actually the densest town in all of Georgia is a suburb of Atlanta. Clarkston.
How dense is it? and how does it compare to toronto suburbs? Many suburbs i went to had high rises and and walkability in MOST areas without the need to really drive. At
I am in Toronto and move to Atlanta, reason: simple, cost of living, why spending $600,000+ for a smaller 4 bedroom house when I can get it for $250,000 (and nicer & bigger) in nice areas in Atlanta. I can live in a really good neighborhood with good schools in northern Atlanta...my kids will go to better schools. Yes, I will be paying $560 per month for healthcare, but the healthcare is so good there, unlike here you have to wait to see doctors, and medical centers is like 5 minutes consultation.
It's so much easier to raise a family in many U.S. cities because of cost of living. My kids will enjoy hot lunch every day in schools there with milk for $2.00 a day, great curriculum, lots of activities & sports to choose from.
In terms of business, of course U.S. offers much more business opportunities. What does Toronto has to offer, it doesn't even have an aquarium until 2013/2014..
As much as I want to call Canada my hometown, the reality is Canada is just becoming like Australia where I grew up - rising cost, unions, worsening education and high tax...
I notice your C-D forum name is "Moneycat"....moving to Atlanta better deal than Toronto
That nice $250,000 house in Atlanta was probably worth $350,000 5 years ago, whereas my house I
bought in Toronto 5 years ago for $ 500,000 I just sold for $875,000.
Schools better in Atlanta....not too sure about that....maybe the $2.00 a day milk
I voted for Toronto before I read the criteria that pretty much included the whole city of Atlanta. When you include downtown AND midtown AND Buckhead, Atlanta is pretty hard to beat.

SIGH ... the point is, it is still possible to have a VERY good life in Metro Atlanta without mortgaging away your life and the lives of your children. COL, taxes, schools (both K-12 public and university level), recreation and leisure amenities, dining, shopping, entertainment, air transit -- on ALL of these factors, Metro Atlanta remains at the very top of all U.S. cities. Your Canadian neighbor is simply choosing a better life for himself and his family. Get over it.

But do really have to mortgage your life away in Toronto? No. And Toronto though more expensive to live in than Atlanta, I don't find it that expensive. If you have children what's wrong with Toronto public schools, especially when you compare them to Atlanta's? The only thing Atlanta has over Toronto is cheaper housing prices. I like Toronto's downtown over anything in dt and mt Atlanta. Cultural amenities, nightlife, neighborhoods, layout, crime, location, public transportation goes to Toronto imo. Being african american I do love Atlanta's aa cultural amenities and southern cuisine.
Naturally, Toronto will be superior in almost every aspect given that it's the cultural and economic hub of Canada. The only think that is debatable is shopping (they are pretty much neck and neck in that category), higher education, and dining (which is all subjective).
That's so absolutely wrong it's appalling. Where do people get these crazy ideas about Atlanta? The city of Atlanta has almost the same density as Denver, Colorado and is more densely populated than Kansas City, Indianapolis, Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix, the list goes on.
This one stuck out for me because while Phoenix is not dense, it does seem much denser than Atlanta. If you go by city limits (Phoenix's limits are much larger than Atlanta) then Atlanta is denser, but if you drive around the metro areas, then metro Phoenix seems much denser than Atlanta. And in actuality it is.
How dense is it? and how does it compare to toronto suburbs? Many suburbs i went to had high rises and and walkability in MOST areas without the need to really drive. At
No high rises in Clarkston. It's mostly an immigrant town full of poor refugees from all over the world but there are plenty of suburbs of Atlanta that do have highrises. Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Vinnings, Cobb Galleria all come to mind.
