What people are saying about Atlanta | |
Atlanta is a MISERABLE place to retire. | |
I can\'t believe you even put it on your list. We have lived here most of the last forty years and can\'t wait for our retirement to CO before the end of the year. The weather six months of the year is unbearable HOT & HUMID. When I go out to run at 6am a typical summer morning is >70 degrees and > 90% humidity. Traffic? HORRIBLE! I travel a lot and the only two places I found worse were DC and Miami. It is COMMON to have at least one major artery closed down every rush hour. The crime is incredible - and we are talking VIOLENT crime - home invasions, car jacking, murder. Young people do like it here because it is a lively town, and I admit, is beautiful too. Of course all the lush flora means some of the worst allergies you can find is spring and fall. YOU DO NOT WANT TO RETIRE HERE! | |
