The same would be true for Dallas, Minneapolis and St Louis, which makes it a meaningless comment.
Not meaningless at all, considering the context of the statement I was responding to. But I'm guessing you weren't following that particular side discussion.

It is absurd to use something that hasn't happened yet and is probably unlikely as grist for a discussion. I would be rich if a million dollars fell in my lap.

"Grist"? Give me a break; it was an afterthought at best and more of an off-the-cuff comment. You're taking this way too seriously for an online forum.

But you are speculating by saying that it is "probably unlikely." Mutiny's comment was extending the conversation at the very least. He made reference to Amazon to show how major industry does influence population diversity by adding more jobs.
None of those are well rounded, or capture the full experience of a neighborhood. Outside of Midtown, Atlanta doesn't have the dense, walkable, active, everyday living/anything goes type of neighborhoods that you can find in St.Louis like Soulard, Central West End, The Hill, and etc.
Atlanta ( Becoming More Urban which I like, but not quite there yet, Bright Future Ahead, Physically Beautiful City)
Minneapolis (Mostly Likely Better Than Atlanta, But the Weather Brrr)
Dallas ( A Disappointment for Such a Large City)
St Louis ( Depressing in some Parts)

Hmm. Atlanta is outright tacky in some spots. Agree with the rest.
Neither are bad places. St. Louis is the underdog. It is a very healthy msa in spite of slow growth.
Unemployment Rates:
Minneapolis 2.3%
St. Louis 2.7%
Dallas. 3.0%
Atlanta. 4.1%
People friendliness:

Thriving neighborhoods:
Don't know. This one may just depend on preference. There are awesome neighborhoods in each of these cities. Plus I'm not sure how to define "thriving". If it's about money, see my answer to the economy question:

Overall best:
Dallas for me. Minneapolis is a solid second. I have a specific dislike for the city of Atlanta, but I acknowledge its importance and influence. They'd be third. As far as St. Louis, I'm not quite sure why they even made the poll.
