Duh, other side of the taint.

Amelia island, Fernandina beach, up north of Jacksonville, are awesome. When I firdt heard of them, I equated it, in my mind to Amelia in LA. (a shithole) They are wonderful

I have lived in both. Tallahassee is a great city to live in. College town. Close to great beaches. Great outdoors scene. Orlando is meh. I’ d probably be fine there with kids now if I lived there.

Lived in both. Never again to BR. I love NOLA as that is where I grew up but I couldn’t live there now with quality of life that I am used to in DFW.

From rest of your list, i could live i Charlotte or ATL easily.

So are you just overall opposed to living in cities in general? Or is it specific to the southeast.

To each their own.

Fair point. I used to live there and described it as dating a pretty girl with no personality.

That's actually a great comparison as well.

I’d never live anywhere in the southeast except parts of the Carolinas, Atlanta, or Nashville.

All American cities are great. You can highlight issues everywhere, so this is subjective.

I lived in Atlanta (Marietta) after graduating from college in 1998.

I moved to the west coast, then back east, and in 2008, I was in the job market. I swore I would never live in Atlanta again. We made a list of cities we liked, and visited them, and searched for jobs... but goddammit... all the jobs in my field are in Atlanta, the northeast, or out west.

I've lived in ATL burbs now ever since. It is actually pretty nice here, and I only go to the city under protest. I am heavily leaning toward moving back near home, if this remote working thing turns into a permanent situation. In fact, I have romanticized it quite a bit.

I could sell our house here and buy a nice house, on a freaking lake, down there...for cash. Private school there for 3 kids is cheaper than for one kid here. We'd have grandparents and siblings within arms reach, which we have really missed out on raising a family.

Only problem is... jobs. You can't really move to a small town and have hopes and dreams if the best thing going is a job at Wal-Mart.
