I like Georgia better, because if your sons play football, they'll have to play against real defenses.

They don’t... Signal Mountain and Hixson are far better than NWGA. Ooltewah is better as well.
You’ve not done many commutes into Chatty have you?

I love how most people are saying Georgia but they're getting the most down votes.

It's also a big enough river to be boatable, and you can catch stripers too.
Only below Morgan Falls, but they're there thick.

My family is split between Texas and GA. To me it'd really be Atlanta vs. Dallas.
Texas has better infrastructure, a slightly better economic outlook and more money overall. It's easy to get to the real west to ski or do outdoors stuff, but isn't particularly close to any good coastline. While Texas has cool topography, it's not for everyone.
Georgia is aesthetically nicer than almost all of Texas and certainly Dallas/Houston. It generally has better weather, IMO. It's on par with Texas for economic opportunity. It's easy to drive to great beaches, mountains and unique areas (Savannah, Charleston, Georgia's barrier islands, etc.).
I wouldn't fault anyone for picking one over the other. I'm from GA, so the idea of leaving towering pines and oaks and lush green hills everywhere for fewer trees and a more flat, "burnt" landscape would be tough. Another hesitation for me is weather. While Dallas isn't as humid and that helps to make up for the extra heat, you're more likely to get 90 degree days in fall or spring in Dallas than Atlanta. I like 4 seasons, and while Atlanta isn't exactly that, it's more that than the Texas cities.

What are these “outdoor activities” people keep mentioning? There’s good hunting in both states it’s just different styles of hunting. You can hike in both. There’s lakes in both. They seem to both be good.

Atlanta is about 70 minutes from the Appalachian Trail. You can fish for trout inside the perimeter of Atlanta, and there are cold water fly fishing streams in north GA. Some of the best coastal marsh ecosystems (kayaking, camping) in the country are in GA.
While you can get to Big Bend or the Guadalupe Mountains from Houston/Dallas, you can probably get to a wide diversity of outdoor activities from Atlanta in less time (Smokies, Roan Highlands, Linville Gorge). I think Atlanta's outdoor diversity within short driving distance is considerably better than the big Texas cities.
I agree that as far as lakes and river floating and the like, Texas, particularly Austin/Hill Country, is as good or better.
If you only care about deer hunting or bass fishing, you'll be set either place.

So you are comparing the Appalachian Mountains to the Hill Country.

ETA- the impression I get is the south suburbs are the new in-thing, around Peachtree City etc. Used to be the other way around.
PTC is ok, lots of transplants and surrounded by mediocre areas. Tyrone and Senoia and places like that are kinda cool and interesting but they're way down there and again, surrounded by relatively shitty areas.
Most people I know are trying to get out of the south side. The bigger problem is that more and more formerly-ok suburbs aren't great anymore (mostly swaths of Gwinnett and Cobb). The great suburbs (Alpharetta, parts of East Cobb, Roswell, Sandy Springs, etc.) are expensive. You can go out to Cumming or Canton to build a McMansion, but that comes with all the downsides of living in an area where you can do that relatively inexpensively.
In short, a lot of sea change in the suburbs right now

If you are comparing the major cities/burbs of Texas vs Atlanta and its burbs, then it’s days like today that make N Ga much better. The dog days of summer in N Ga still have some relatively cool days when the back door cold fronts come through and drop temps and humidity. On any given day from June-September, N Ga will be 10-15 degrees cooler than Dallas, Austin, Houston. ATL is a 1,000 feet in elevation and sits at the southern tip of the Appalachian Mtns which helps the summer days and evenings.
