After living in Atlanta since 2008, the creator shares the four biggest downsides of living in the city, while still emphasizing that Atlanta is a great place to live. The first major issue is anti-urbanization, where resistance to zoning changes and public transit expansion worsens traffic and affordability. The second is corporate dominance, with chain stores and restaurants overshadowing independent businesses, impacting the city’s cultural identity. Third, gun culture is prevalent, with loose regulations and increasing gun-related incidents contributing to unease. Lastly, inconsiderate behavior is common, with many residents showing a lack of awareness or concern for others, whether in traffic, service interactions, or daily life. Despite these challenges, Atlanta remains an exciting and vibrant city, and this video aims to provide realistic expectations for those considering a move.
