Are you serious? Have you been to Atlanta lately? Have you even been? Don't assume things just because you think it might be right.

Get out from under you cheese plate, your arteries are clogged with irrational thinking.

I voted Atlanta because I view "biggest future" in terms of growth potential. LA and NYC are full-grown, mature entertainment hubs that will continue to grab the lion's share here and no other city will top them. Atlanta I see as an adolescent experiencing a big growth spurt, and although it will never be a LA or NYC it will gain lots of ground--thus, it got my vote.

You may petition the moderators to take away half my rep points if it'll make you feel better though.

"Having the biggest future" means....having the biggest future. The answer is LA. Not Atlanta. What scenario, outside "the big one" along the fault or some other natural cataclysm, gives ATL "the biggest future in the entertainment industry?" The OP says exactly nothing about "biggest gains."

I happen to think "having the biggest future" is open to some interpretation, as the OP never truly clarified what that means. You're free to disagree with those who interpret it differently than you, but the criteria isn't exactly cut and dried. He did mention dispersion beyond the traditional strongholds of the industry, which does favor Atlanta.

Not really.Don't count on tax credits. Infrastructure means nothing if nobody comes.

Like I said, if California ever evened out the costs, it would be trouble for all these places.

Just like Atlanta, it's in hands of polticians.

Again. Tax credits. Doesn't mean alot. And Hollywood wanted to pull out of new Orleans once thru thought tax credits ended.

Unstable.

It's LA then NYC then Atlanta way far behind. LA and NYC can both take claims at being the best at certain segments of entertainment, no others really can (outside of techie stuff)

A bit off topic, Pittsburgh would be a great city to see more in movies.
