lived in GA almost my entire life and never, EVER thought I'd live anywhere else. But the way the politics have gone off the rails in the major cities has just been a shame to witness. If I wanted to stay in GA and enjoy myself I'd need to move hours away from what i'd known or go to some small town with like 20K residents or less. Eventaully we moved to be closer to my wife's family in AL and it's not bad, I definitley don't regret the decision. While there are some tiny pockets of liberalism around me, and the actual city of birmingham will always be blue as is the case with pretty much any "big" city in America, it's nice to know that what happened to GA won't ever happen here.

Georgia is home, it's where I was born, and now both my wife and I (another ATL native) are both ready to go. We were trying to get our youngest through school, but now with the sure and steady drop in school quality in Gwinnett (thus my comment to the other poster in the thread about OOD information) and being gradually surrounded by leftists and massively rising cost of living, even that is becoming harder to justify. When the fastest growing counties in Georgia are Jackson and Dawson, the very definition of sprawl due to political BS and cost of living changes closer to ATL, it's time to bail.
Eastern TN or eastern KY are the likely destinations. Done with this place (ATL) and all the bullshite that goes on here.

People said the same thing 20-25 years ago about Georgia compared to Virginia/Illinois/California.

It is so sad.
I am in real estate in metro Atlanta. The influx from NY and CA is off the chart. They are coming for the cost of living decrease but will continue to vote for the crazies who gave them their increase in living costs in CA and NY.

without trying to sound too ugly, Alabama is beneath all that. Georgia had Atlanta which was home to billion dollar corporations, some world-wide headquarters, multiple professional sports teams, etc. In addition to being a black mecca. The music and film scene has continued to explode over the last 20 yeras. When conservatives that lived in-town or near it had enough they fled to gwinnett and elsewhere before now being forced out of there again. But my point is, Atlanta itself was so much of a draw that it, well..drew people in. It absolutely exploded after the Olympics because a shite ton of people wanted to be there.
None of that can be said about Alabama or birmingham. And there's nothing wrong with that btw, I really enuoy where I am now. But people aren't going to flock to birmingham by the millions yearly like they did to atlanta. Birmginahm and montgomery are very blue, which isn't a suprirse at all, but pretty muc the rest of the state is quite red. With GA, all the blue that used to just contain itself to ITP has now spread outward and there's no sign of slowing down. That simply isn't going to happen to AL.

Trust me - when the time comes for retirement, I'm heading to south Mississippi as fast as I possibly can. Somewhere between Sumrall/Hattiesburg area and the coast. No further east than Laurel, and maybe - possibly - as far west as a little place called Sandy Hook. Close enough to Baton Rouge to make the games at Death Valley but not embroiled in Louisiana politics.

Yep, that’s where the cheating is so rampant
