It's never my intent to make my opinion more "valuable" or "attack," only to offer information, especially when implications are being made that are just plain false.

I honestly take this as an interesting conversation, even if it can come off contentious. I hope you feel the same.

Wait, how is what he said "uninformed"? He said the Main Line streetview is nice (which it is) but he has stated that his preference is for metro Atlanta. I don't get it.

Main Line(4.6sq mi) is about the size of maybe Buckhead if I had to guess but a lot less dense and populated.
Main Line is not just a street.Its art of Philly's identity as a city steeped in history and the founding of this country. I cant knocks its appeal but as a black man,even if I could afford it,its no where near where I would EVER live
And as a Black man, Forsyth County wouldn't be among my top choices to live in metro Atlanta.

I have lived in and really like both metros, but good Lord dude...

Its been said that DC suburbs resemble those in Atlanta. I agree with that although DC suburbs do better with accessibility of transit to the area

DC's suburbs do make for a better comparison with Atlanta's in some key respects. On the whole, DC's are a bit more affluent and developed but they still share several similarities.

Based on some other comments,it sounded uninformed

Also I would never live in Forsyth either but Forsyth county has a 30% foreign born population and its 14% Asian.If I had to choose ,it would be there

I don't understand why he gave that response for complementing a nice area in Philly. I'm not from either place, but I personally think that Atlanta is better than Philly.

I agree with this. DC and Atlanta both some of the best suburbs I've seen anywhere, and their suburbs remind me of each other.

What in God's name are you talking about???? He literally said "That Main Line street view was pretty nice." What is so problematic about that statement?????????

I'm sure you would. The Main Line suburbs don't have the history of Forsyth County, so there's that to consider.

You so over the top. You come in late and again take everything out of context.
History is one thing but present is another.Forsyth still has a low black population because of its history no doubt but it also has the fastest growing black populations.
I would have gladly explained but you are so quick to accuse just like last time when I showed you in quotes what I actually said.You Never apologized. You sit on a high horse of righteousness
