Downtown - Atlanta. Scenery - Atlanta. Schools - Pre-K thru 12? Honestly don't know but probably Phoenix. Colleges? Atlanta by a significant margin. Dining - Atlanta for sure. Arts - Atlanta. Museums - Atlanta. Transit - Atlanta. Safety - City? - Phoenix by a lot. Entire Metro? - Phoenix, but only slightly. Best suburbs - Atlanta. Nightlife - Atlanta. Pro Sports - Atlanta. Urban neighborhoods - Atlanta. Shopping - Atlanta. Jobs - Most likely Atlanta.
Overall, I'd rather live in Atlanta. It's the greater city.

Pretty much right on, I have been to both cities. I would give Phoenix the edge in shopping though, but I guess that depends on what you are basing it on.
Downtown- ATL
Scenery -PHX
Schools - tie
Dining - PHX
Arts - tie
Museums - ATL
Safety- PHX

Best suburbs - PHX

Urban neighborhoods - PHX

Id say this comparo is a tie!
LMAO I have been to PHX. Please compare a suburb of PHX to Atlanta's lush greenery? Urban Neighborhoods in Atlanta are older than PHX itself, Inman Park.
LOL this site has so many ATL lovers and PHX haters it's unreal. Anywho, I'm surprised PHX even has the amount of votes it does.

I like both cities, but my heart lies with Arizona so I will have to vote for Phoenix on this one.

You do realize that just because a place is green doesn't mean it's better right? Jackson, Mississippi is green lol. In terms of Suburubs: Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Fountain Hills, Desert Mountain, DC Ranch all hold up against ATL suburbs. It is a different type of scenery though, it's desert so obviously it will not be as lush or green.

Who effin cares about lush greenery? I wouldnt have moved here if I wasnt a fan of desert scenery. And IMO, Scottsdale, with its mountains, lakes, cacti, impeccable streets, world class shopping/dining, arts, etc, blows away anything I saw in ATL's burbs. And who cares how about age? Scottsdale is plenty old, bub. I prefer western cowboy and Native American history to ATL's history.
