Oh dear. Atlanta in all 4 of these. Even number 2 in one of them lol. But I guess they only took the stats from the slums in atlanta and not every where else on the list haha.
Oh and dallas no where to be seen on any list...interesting bigstick mutiny and kingjohn
All of this comes from the same accounting issue. People on this forum were pretty good at explaining it. If you're curious, you can try a visit to Atlanta. The posts sometimes were a bit volatile but you were sort of egging people on.

Here: FBI — Table 6

That's the metropolitan area. You'll see that Atlanta does have a somewhat higher crime rate than Dallas, but somewhat lower than Charlotte and Tampa which you were also considering.

So how about Dallas, Charlotte, or Tampa. You know, the actual cities he was asking about.

There is apparently something pulling 25 million visitors a year to Charlotte.

Could you elaborate on how Raleigh is more exciting? Raleigh is a northern city stuck in the South.



Maybe if you're into fake culture.
So let me understand you.Tampa is more boring than Charlotte ?
Tampa at least has beaches and the weather is better year round.

Let's not go here. Do you typically go into threads with the intention of starting arguments?

Dallas is a city, not a person. Therefore, it has no emotions...or wishes.

That being said, there are many beautiful areas of Dallas. Of course.

Just the tip of the iceburg:

Ive read as much as I could stomach of this thread.This guy is obviously not worth your time.Let him move to Dallas or wherever.He sounds ridiculously unable to handle the diversity our city has.
I would rather not have in our wonderful GROWING city tarnished with such a spiteful attitude.

Funny how cities growing as fast as Atlanta has and with the highest percent change in white residents in America after D.C. can somehow be a festering slum with crazy crime ridden neighborhoods everywhere and with speakers blasting Hip Hop at City Hall.

Just let him move already.Its his loss.We know what we have.Let him stay ignorant.

Those pictures are horribly boring.A pond with a bridge?LOL.

A skyline pic that looks almost the same as it did on 1990?

Even I admit Dallas looks better than that.

If thats the reason why, he would be just as unhappy in Dallas.
