Oh I'd love to hear this.
You're north of Acworth (which is boring anyway). I mentioned Milton. You're in between Alpharetta and Cumming (dull). The 85 corridor is a non-starter (dull and/or shitty). Loganville? Hard to get duller. The 20 corridor is horrendous in both directions. You're south of PTC and the rest of the southside is abysmal in those areas.

Nashville is the smallest...2MM metro population to Charlotte's 2.6MM. Atlanta tops at 6MM metro.
Damn. Didn't realize that CHarlotte's sprawl was that bad. But Nasheville clearly has the progressive aids already, so...

I think Charlotte is one of the metro areas in this country growing faster than Nashville. Bruco regales me with tales of cranes as far as the eye can see in downtown Charlotte.
Confirmed, 3rd fastest growing city in the country.

Charlotte is currently the third fastest-growing major U.S. city. If its population growth continues, Charlotte's population is set to surge by 47% from 2010 to 2030, growing from 1.87 million to about 2.74 million in just twenty years.

Unfortunately COVID will probably slow down the office and hotel development. Not much on the ground breaking front right now.
Maybe a good thing in the long run if the city can catch its breathe a bit and catch up on some infrastructure work.
Then again, Centene recently announced a new 3,000 person campus here, so maybe it won’t slow down for long

Not just trying to give you shite, but these are probably three of the last major cities I would ever choose to live in the United States. They’re alright if you’re a yuppie that loves bland suburban shite, but if you like actual cities with urban character these have very little to offer.
I wouldn’t willingly move to either of these places

Except that some of us are yuppies who are obsessed with career advancement.

Live in a city with a significant Mormon population. They make the best neighbors.

I could live in the Virginia-Highland/Druid Hills area in a heartbeat. Beautiful area, ton of things to do, and you can get to a lot of places without having to get on the interstate. Though, I can definitely see why people hate Atlanta if they just end up coming in for a few days for an event downtown.

1) Milwaukee
Went to Milwaukee for the first time in 2017 and I was really impressed. Of course, like upstate New York, it's a lot nicer in September when I was there than it is in January, but the architecture, the water, the feel of the place--it was pretty nice. I think Wisconsin is an underrated state.

This.
The areas people hang out and live in Atlanta - Midtown, Va Highlands, Old 4th Ward, Inman Park, Buckhead, West midtown, Edgewood, East Atlanta Village, etc... aren't what people see. Folks only go downtown for sporting events or work - that's about it.
Atlanta is like a smaller version of Los Angeles - no one really goes downtown. It's a collection of a lot of unique neighborhoods, sprawled throughout the city area.
If you judge Atlanta by its downtown, I automatically assume you went to a directional school and are from a shitty small town.
This is an LSU board, so I totally get Atlanta having the most "hate." But to be quite honest, when you go to Georgia/Falcons boards, there aren't troves of threads talking about "Why I left."
Atlanta packed in a million more people this past decade. A lot of them are transplants from other big cities like NYC as finance moved south, LA as the entertainment industry blew up, and Chicago, because well - it's cold and the government up there makes JBE look like George Washington.
So long as we are attracting wealth and talent, we're ok with good ole baws with a heart of gold and not a speck of talent thinking there's too much "culcha."
Charlotte and Nashville are an afterthought to people that live here - the only thing they have in common is driving proximity. (Though again, Charlotte really is a great place to live if you can find the right gig).

It's miserable to fairly summarize distant burbs as either dull or junky (particularly in context of them being the only worthwhile thing about a major city)? They lack the charm of genuine small towns and lack the nicer things about better/more affluent suburbs. I'm sure it's generally the same for any comparable city.

This isn't a defense of Marietta, but the area around the square there is pretty cool. That's about the only redeeming aspect of any of the Atlanta suburbs I can think of. If I worked in Marietta, living walking/biking distance to the square would be okay.
That said, I'm not all that familiar with all of the Atlanta suburbs. I lived in Smyrna/Vinings when I lived in Atlanta, and it was pretty bland back then.
