I live in ATL and I would say Charlotte.

didnt see those coming..
if I'm going cold, I'm going Bozeman, Boise, Billings, Kalispell
southern: Charleston, Savannah, Greenville/spartanburg, Nashville(with tons of cash), richmond, VA beach
western: grand junction, Salt lake(agree there)
don't think I'd consider new England at all unless I have just a shite pile of money.
tx: love the hill country in TX. Kerrville, Fredericksburg

Atlanta is the most significant, most robust in most categories and probably has the most long-term advantages. It's the biggest economic and professional powerhouse of the three, obviously. It's probably on the starkest short-term decline, though. Hard to say whether that's a legitimate worry beyond the near term.
Charlotte is, in my opinion, a more boring Atlanta. But that has some advantages. It's less gritty than Atlanta. NC is probably a better overall state than Georgia in several regards. Lower ceiling, higher floor.
Nashville is the most in vogue. You'll have to overpay for something that may be more fleeting. For long term economic and professional choices, it's probably 3rd on the list. But obviously attractive for younger people. I think Nashville has little that Charlotte or Atlanta don't have, but it's more front and center in Nashville whereas such things might get lost in the larger and more business-centric Charlotte/Atlanta.
All three are aesthetically/topographically nice cities.

Good summary. I think Nashville is a lot of fun if you are young and single but as an old married guy I just don't really enjoy it enough to visit anymore.

That's one way to phrase it.

Nashville has solid burbs obviously, but he said inside the city (or so I took it). I think Nashville is very pleasant, but it is a little hollow for me. I also don't like major city issues/prices for what is in reality a very regional/tourist city (at least so far).
I think Atlanta burbs are of declining quality. Atlanta's in-town neighborhoods have been thriving until late. So that's where I'd be cautious. In late 2019 I'd be making a much stronger case for living in town Atlanta. But things are very much up in the air at the moment.

You'd be amazed how many people love Atlanta (or claim to) primarily because of the gritty/authentic/urban character.
Now Atlanta obviously lacks that when compared to NYC/Chicago/etc., but for those seeking it, it's arguably the only game in the South.
I think 75% of it is a fake preference by striver millennials who crave some movie-like city life, but some if it is legit.

Yeah, I bought a home in town a few years back and it was skyrocketing but now I am not sure how many people are going to leave.

Probably true. The point is we are certainly circling around minutia when discussing the differences between these cities. People claiming large differences are out of bounds and basing that analysis on some weird anecdotal experience. These places are 95% similar.

Lived in worked in Charlotte. I loved the city. My job was soul-crushing though. I wish I could've found a new job in Charlotte, but my best opportunity ended up being elsewhere.
I'd still go back if the opportunity ever arose.

Atlanta is pretty crappy. Nashville seems like it was a great place to move to 10-15 years ago. Not so much today. I don't know a whole lot about Charlotte but I would look into it. Charlotte isn't far from the mountains which are pretty amazing.

Takes about 90 minutes to get to Blowing Rock/Boone via 321. Not bad at all.

Charlotte or one of the ATL burbs in the north.

I found Charlotte and Atlanta to be completely different cities when I lived in both. Granted this was 20ish years ago, but the vibes in both were very, very different. Atlanta was much more of a major metro area with a melting pot of cultures, whereas Charlotte felt to me like a mid-sized city trying to hang onto its mid-sized charm. I haven't been back to Charlotte since I moved away, and I can imagine it has changed a ton since I left. The perimeter interstate wasn't complete yet when I left, the light rail uptown was only in the planning stages, the Hornets were still playing away from uptown, etc.

Atlanta is much different in size from those cities, and it has a much different feel as a result.
I moved from New Orleans to Atlanta. There would have been no real reason for me to move from New Orleans to Charlotte or Nashville.
