Personally a fan of Houston; some of the best food anywhere, very diverse in a good way, unpretentious (unlike plastic Dallas), world class museums, great parks, not to mention Rockets and Astros.

I’ve lived in both and like both for different reasons. Prefer living in Atlanta.

Harrison High School went from putting out QB's like Daniel Cobb to putting out Justin Fields, so there's that.

In all I am not sure why people have a problem with living in Atlanta metro. I live 2 miles from the perimeter on the silver comet trail, can get to the lake in an hour, mountains in a couple hours and the best beaches in Fl in 5 hours. Don’t go to the shithole parts of the city and it’s a great place to be.

Seriously doubt that with the average housing price in East Cobb being significantly higher than it is in Gwinnett
East Cobb will hold out much longer than elsewhere in Cobb, but you'll be an island. That happened on the Southside with parts of PTC/South Fayette County. Sure, you can live a nice life there, but you're surrounded by junk.

You can live well in Atlanta, but you can't escape increasingly bad governance and crime entirely. And most people commute, so even if you live in a pocket of bliss, you've usually got to mix it up with the riff raff regularly.
That's true a lot of places. But there are certainly places with fewer of the everyday issues.

I’d much rather Atlanta. Atlanta isn’t a great city to be a tourist in but it’s a pretty great city to be a resident. Better weather, better topography. It’s a city in a forest and if you are near the belt line is a sneaky great city for biking. The two hour weekend road trips from Atlanta are much, much better than Houston. Both have airports that get you anywhere and giant economies.
In both cities your daily quality of life will largely depend on how awful your commute is.

Atlanta isn’t bad, but I can think of a million other cities I’d rather live in. I just don’t see the appeal unless I’m a fratty white guy that wants to post up in Buckhead or some bougie black person that wants to tell the world that I live in Black Mecca. Houston has its cons, but it also has unique pros that makes it a comfortable city to live in. It’s basically an affordable Global city with mild winters. Could it be more visually appealing, yes, but I do not have to pay the bullshvt tax to live here.

Houston is shite on mostly because of the weather (basically Louisiana with more concrete) and the traffic. Everything else is either above average or great. Eventhough there's still an above average crime rate (still lower than Atlanta though, look it up), it's concentrated in certain neighborhoods that are easy to avoid. I prefer Dallas to both but wouldn't mind Houston or a town in North Georgia that is close to Atlanta.

This is how I know you know little about ATL.
Buckhead isn't that anymore. It's actually where

I lived in Atlanta for 10 years and have lived in Houston for 5. Houston is hot, dirty and kind of a miserable place to be.

Purely curious. Job market there seems pretty hot.
This is any draw to major cities. The rest is window dressing.
Houston has access to good fishing and better food variety.
Atlanta has access to mountains and is a much better sports city. Specifically college football.
Really not much of a difference. Both are never ending sprawls.

She was a school teacher there as well and her school went from being 80%+ white when it was built in the early 2000's to majority minority when she left. Went from being one of the most prosperous parts of Georgia to a shitehole in less than a generation.
Gwinnett is a shithole that is full of Illegal Immigrants (with thousands more on the way) and Liberals. Cobb is getting lots of Libs as well and other undesirables. I literally lol when I look at the demographics of Cobb and Gwinnett now compared to even 10 years ago. Those once good school systems are headed to shite with a few exceptions.

Houston gets shite on a lot, but it's actually a great city.
Traffic, humidity, hot as hell, ugly concrete jungle, complete byproduct of no zoning with ugly strip centers everywhere, high property taxes, floods all the time, plenty of illegals, English is a second language.
Where is the great?

You forgot mindset of material things underpinned by overly business mindset and consumerism.
Vapid place!
But has some badazz TexMex (and for record, like Hou better than Dallas).

Since Atlanta is home to quite a few Fortune 500 companies, so there is a lot more opportunity. Houston is home to mostly O&G companies but it all depends what you are looking for.

Peachtree city
Atlanta burbs are very comparable to Houston burbs they have some freaking nice ones.
Houston does have better downtown and city areas, I'll give ya that.
