Haven't spent more than a day or so in Houston, but I can tell you unless you're 25 or younger, Buckhead is a terrible place.
Buckhead lost all the youth when they lost the clubs, remaining party bars will be gone soon. the neighborhoods in buckhead certainly are not 25 and under

Decatur fits the criteria.

I seriously look at Decatur or the highlands. But you will have to drive to buckhead
FWIW buckhead will give you none of this. Just mansions...

Atlanta for a variety of reasons
1) weather
2) it's above sea level and doesn't flood
3) access to mountains and beach within a few hours
4) has actual scenery and isn't completely flat
Only thing in Houston's favor is no state income tax

Quite so, the small old houses sell for 500k

Zagat also had Pittsburgh as the #1 city in 2015 which didn't even make the list in 2016

What specifically about the city of Atlanta?

I'm assuming he's not buying a house, if so then yes the residential neighborhoods in Buckhead are nice.
You could not pay me enough money to live in a Buckhead apartment around all of the yuppies and congestion.

But also describe Atlanta. We're not comparing Atlanta to other cities in Georgia, we're comparing it to Houston.

Traffic would be my concern. Christmas is brutal. I lived over in Lenox Park a long time ago, When there was half the big buildings and it used to take me 45 minutes to get to the publix on peachtree across from phipps at christmas. less than a mile

Well in that case yeah I'd say buckhead would be a good spot.

This is why I can't ever again live in a city like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago etc. I hate being in the car and like my 15 minute drives to get anywhere in the city I want

ATL is closer to other cooler places to weekend at.
this is a big reason I'm not miserable when in Atlanta--my career is almost completely mobile so I can head to Cape San Blas, Destin, Tybee (dad is there), in-laws in Columbia, SC, friends/fam in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Charleston, Charlotte, Raleigh and a variety of mountains and whitewater in no time. And back home to BR/NO is not a brutal drive and an easy cheap flight.
And airport is super easy to get to and cheap to fly to MT/ID/CO, which I do multiple times a year. + I live in a beautiful forest in the middle of town, walk to Emory U.
But if my wife weren't tied here right now...it'd be buh-bye. But not to Houston--it's proximity to family in BR and cheap flights to Denver would be the only draws, as my goal in a big city is for it to be easy to leave it.

i pretty much have that in Atlanta. But my "anywhere I want" is within a narrow circumference, and I never have to drive in rush hourS.

I would say that it's much less spread out than Houston. You can ride bikes down the beltline and day drink at the spots along the way, ride over to Little 5 Points, Inman Park, or Midtown. There are bike trails that go all the way out to Stone Mountain or you can ride the Silver Comet Trail all the way over to Alabama. The fact that you can take Marta to the airport is nice. I don't recall if you can do that in Houston but Austin doesn't have it. Chastain Park Amphiteatre is cooler than any venue that I'm aware of in Houston. Buford Highway Farmers Market is unlike anything that I've seen anywhere else. If you're into international foods it's a mecca.
