Atlanta sucks with the weather, traffic and crime

Weather is good in Atlanta, very much similar to NC.

Traffic wise i agree but city is taking action to extend roads and lot of new construction happening.

Crime - US lo anthata undi crime.. not only in Atlanta but it is relatively safe where desi's live.

cool man.

How are schools and any recreational areas like bay area?

Schools in Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Cumming are among the best in the country. Alpharetta High, Johns Creek High, South Forsyth High, Lambert High, Milton High, Northview High are among the top 500 high schools in the country. Crowd kooda bay area ki ikkadiki pedda teda em undadu.. Like 30% white, 30% desi, 30% chinki, 5% black, 5% hispanic.. As long as you stick to Cumming/Alpharetta/JohnsCreek/Milton you will not feel that different from bay area..We have two good universities - Georgia Tech (among the top 5 in the country for Engineering) and Emory(Among the top 20 medical schools)

Recreational opportunities ki there is lake Lanier, smoky mountains are very close by, Florida is not too far. You will have access to pretty much most of the smoky mountain range - Asheville, Gatlinburg, Helen and places in Florida - Orlando, Destin, Panama City Beach, Daytona Beach all within a 2 to 6 hour drive.

10000% Agree..

Dallas should be first choice for someone planning to move from Bay Area.

Dallas is definitely the best choice...

Dallas work places are very bad man.. Especially IT related.. Too many desis and gultis spoiled the work environments there.. I lived in Dallas for 1.5 years and I will never go there again..

Jobs - Jobs wise the companies are spread around multiple places around Atlanta

Most of the big fi companies are in located in following sequence Downtown Atlanta, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs/Dunwoody, Marietta, Norcross, Duluth. 

Schools wise Johnscreek, forsyth, east cobb, Gwinnett, fulton(few subdivisons) have the best public schools.

Desi crowd - Desi's kuda very much dispersed,

 

North indian families (decatur/lilburn/duluth) - Home owners

South Indian families(Cumming, Alpharetta, Johnscreek) - Home owners

North/South Indian families (Dunwoody, Smyrna, buckhead) - People who live in these areas are mostly rent apartments or just Room sharing people. 

Housing - Housing market is all time high now in all areas of Atlanta. compared to bay area, you can get a Indepenedent house for the down payment amount that people do in bay area.

Weather - Weather is good for 85% of the year. ocassional snow and full rains and get little colder in winters.

Recreation - Recreation wise best place to live. Everything is accessible and with good community and lot of events happen in Atlanta. cricket league's, desi festivals are celebrated very well.

Overall, its best choice for families.

Cons antey nallollu south areas lo untaru.. valla vallaney konchem rates control lo unae ani naa opinion.
