As an Australian who's been lucky enough to travel to America 9 times, road tripping the entire West Coast, LA across to Key West, and 10,000s of miles inland many times, including many of these towns/ cities mentioned here, i found Americans are the most hospitable people i have ever met, and made many friends there, i love em'. God bless America!
@Andy Lawlor “Rule Britannia! Britannia Rule the 🌊!” 🏴 🇬🇧. (I ❤️ being a Seppo 🇺🇸 ; but honestly sometimes lament Grandpa 👴 shoving off for Virginia in the late 1600’s).
The housing market is out of control in Georgia. I have a feeling it's going to get bad for us young Georgians due to Californians, New Yorkers, and others over bidding on houses. I don't mind people moving here, but it becomes a problem when too many move at the same time.
To me it’s dirt cheap. I moved from Nevada specifically because houses are so inexpensive. Just bought a house in Americus for $89,000 ( approximately 2,000 square feet, .40 of an acre) that would have cost over $500,000 in Reno. And I make a little over $20,000 a year. So basically, I love this state. But you couldn’t pay me to live in Atlanta. I had to drive thru there to get to Albany ( where I originally moved to) and the traffic blew my mind. And I drive through the city on the 75 on a Monday around 10:00 am. It was the first time in my life that I was actually nervous driving.
After living in Riverdale/Jonesboro from '86 to '06, I can say everything listed about Forest Park, East point, and College Park is correct, and it spreads outward. After the school rezoning of East Point to Riverdale around 1991, crime went through the roof, property values tanked and white flight ensued. In the early to mid 80s Clayton county was a great place to live, young families and retirees, now Clayton county is an absolute shithole to be avoided.
It’s a crying shame how “The Park” has fallen from the 60’s to the 90’s. Most of my family grew up around there and Mountain View before the airport took over
One time this white boy visited Atlanta, I got caught up in the Freaknick traffic jam driving in from the airport and wound up some place called Fat Matt's Rib Shack where i was definitely a my-nor-ity. Some of the best damn barbeque i ever ate.
I'm from Georgia, but a rural town nowhere near Atlanta. The closer your get to the city, the more crime increases, poverty rises, and the farther away you get, the less you have to worry. there's a reason the state is split into half its population living in ATL and the other half being no where close to it. :)
UPDATE: College Park, and the city of Atlanta is becoming GENTRIFIED! Do these people warn others not to come to certain parts so that they can buy houses (and/or move in) fix them up, and resell for 200xs more? 🤔
Of course that’s the purpose of this video.........he darn sure don’t care about families and their living. The sad part is manipulative behavior is increasing
I lived in GA for a few years, when I was employed with the State of Georgia Department of Labor. People there would assume I was rich, because of that. I remember my coworkers telling me how difficult it was for them to survive on their income, and would sometimes borrow money to get to work. Some lived in Warner Robins, because it was less expensive than Macon, but I paid 600.00 for a three bedroom apartment, which I could never do in other places. I lived in Augusta, also, and the quality of life appeared a little better, maybe because of the golf tournament, which brought in revenue and visitors every year. Overall, I lived comfortably, because of the cost of living, which is considerably lower than where I am living now, back in Michigan.
Don't overestimate yourselves. I am Brazilian and I guarantee you all those places still seem like haven when compared to the wealthiest municipalities here.
Nah, I'd take Curitiba and Guarapuava any day over south atlanta and Macon...though being able to flush toilet paper is nice, and even though the taxes in Brazil are bonkers...I'd still take Parana.
I LOVE Georgia. I'm an 18th generation Thomasvillain. My hometown of Thomasville was named after my forefather. I've been to these towns, and just like anywhere else in the world you have to be smart. I've traveled all over the states and you learn to carry yourself with a "I ain't the one to be fucked with" demeaner and attitude. I've never had any problem and I've met some great people. God Bless America! 🍑
@@hathortheshapeshifter Lol oh just b/c the neighborhood is going through gentrification doesn’t mean that the crime rate has changed immediately...Oh it still takes time.. I went back to my old neighborhood and although it’s still in progress and looks peaceful during the day..I still hear gunshots almost every night 😂
If you think its bad now, wait until there's a democrat governor. If you're a home owner you might wanna stick around a little while because your home might double in price relatively soon. Then move to a state that actually makes sense. Or country, because were almost out of states at this point.
Majority of us Georgians joke about Atlanta not being part of our state for a reason. Majority of the people that live = in the metro area are from other parts of the country. Very few people in the Atlanta area and suburbs are actually from Georgia and the Living costs are becoming astronomical as a result. Look at places like Banks County which had less than 12,000 people living in the whole county 10 years ago now you can’t find a place to live there for less than $2000 a month. It has caused most of the locals to resent anyone who has moved there.
This is true about any city anywhere. You picked the worst neighborhoods you could fine and judged the whole city from one area. I know people from many of these towns and they are doing and living just fine. Also crime is everywhere you can’t hide from it.
No Atlanta was dangerous everywhere back in the 80’s and 90’s. I remember it was over 40 housing projects covering the entire city. All those projects was HORRIBLE. I’m glad they are gone too because if they were still standing, Atlanta would be worst than Chicago.
I actually go to Monroe often and it is a great place. We often travel there to meet up with family. He judges bad parts and just straight says the whole town is bad. One of my family members travel throughout GA and they are still here.
Me Too Makeba. Born in Raised in Atlanta. What's Funny About This Dude, He Purposely Showed The Worst Areas in Atlanta, Rather than Nice black Neighborhoods in those same areas, "Get The F@$k Outta Here Man".
I'm from Georgia and 56 years old. All the places you mentioned are correct. Even when I was little, I grew up being told to stay away from the places you stated.
We lived in Atl till I was 5 years old and my Daddy moved us out. He did not want us to be there bc even then it was crime ridden and dangerous and that was 52 years ago!
Sadly, Albany is the closest airport to me. So I fly from there. Now I feel nervous about long term parking there. At least in Atlanta you got a parking garage. In Albany it's an ugly weed grown lot. And security aint that great.
The pandemic has tempered Atlanta traffic considerably. As an Uber/Lyft driver, I used to avoid driving during rush hours in the morning and afternoon - but, now, it's actually not too bad. And, many of the communities that used to be on the "worst places to live in Atlanta" lists are now up and coming communities where gentrification has displaced the crime and pushed out those who can no longer afford to live there. Cabbage Town, for example, used to be one of those poor communities with high crime and poverty, and now you can hardly find any homes for less than $400k to buy.
Yes Richard , I used to avoid working morning rush hour in Atlanta as well as a Lyft & Uber driver but yeah you’re right since the pandemic it’s not that bad at all . You’re right about Cabbage Town also .
Albany used to be a wonderful city. I left the area over forty years ago, and the one thing that I notice most on visits is how nothing changes. The infrastructure has been allowed to crumble, neighborhoods that were once nice are now dilapidated and in distress. Roads are not repaired but they build new gas stations and every other business is closing. I have so much history here and hate what has become of the "good life city".
I accidentally got locked out of the hospital years ago at night when I went to get something out of my car. A doctor saw me and let me in through a restricted area just so I wouldn’t get killed for being outside.
@@zaejohnson3414 Crack cocaine was huge at the time. St Mary's isn't far from the Florida/Georgia line. Once it crossed the line, the price increased. Cops were doing huge drug busts. It was just a bad area to be. Too many people were addicted, including my roommates. I'm glad I left too.
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and I fully intend on retiring to Georgia. My ancestors are from Georgia. I often go to Georgia on vacation, and it’s a beautiful state. The climate is much better than Florida and the people are friendlier. I’m looking to buy a piece of land outside of Macon, where the crime is lower and there are large tracts of land that are still affordable. For me and my wife, Georgia is our future and we’re very optimistic!
John,,you are making a big mistake,,,its really a dangerous place, even the rural areas....I been robbed, broke into my home and ransacked and my car broke into at a Wal Mart Supercenter, and Im in the upsale area.....I definitely advise you to not come here,,,,,
@@JohnDaker_singer Definitely not Twiggs or Johnson. Don’t know too much about Baldwin however. If you’re looking for the quiet country life with a fleeing population, look into Macon County. We’re close enough to all the Houston County conveniences without the high land prices/taxes. Plus we have Troy’s Snack Shack in downtown Montezuma
Jones County will be just fine. Baldwin I'd stay away from. Gray is my hometown, and Jones County altogether is a nice and peaceful place to live. Millegdeville is Baldwin County. Crime and poverty and such are high there, like Macon and Bibb County.
I'm not saying that there aren't bad areas, but I'm from Georgia, and I frequently visit alot of these cities and towns when my buddy and I are out shooting videos and pics of trains, and we've never been bothered by anyone, not once. It depends on where you go also.
Hearing about how Georgia may become the new California upsets me as a Georgian, because I actually want to see forests when I drive and not be constantly on fire or have fires.
Haha. Do you think people moving in from California is going to cause more fires in Georgia? Damn, I guess if they try to stop controlled burning, they might. Sheesh, unintended consequences of letting idiots move in. Maybe we need a wall around Georgia.
Forest fires are due to the Climate in California. If Georgia has a long drought of many years, then you can worry. The climate is dry in the areas of California where they have the big fires. There have been very long droughts in California. I use to live in Colorado and it is also a dry climate. There is a lot of humidity is Georgia. It is not dry like the states out West.
@@rockymtnsteeze1815 Not to mention the forest fires in California are actually a good thing most of the time. Unfortunately, drought and climate change as well as expanding human settlements are the reason why they've gotten worse. Forest fires are generally good for the environment
The very same can be said of most any place in the U.S. If you look for the bad, make a video about it. Look for the good, and make a video about it. You can do it just as well.
Lived in GA my whole life. There’s one common denominator which everyone’s afraid to admit with each one of these high crime cities, and that’s either a high black population, or a rapid increase in black population, and the data speaks for itself.
I've lived in Cobb Country for 35 years now. I like to say, I've never been to the South, and apparently, I've never been to Georgia either. And I am NOT moving!
I was on temporary duty at Ft. McPherson when it was still open. Stayed in College Park and met many nice, funny, and animated characters there. The people were WAY more entertaining than anyone from a Tyler Perry flick. I even met a woman named Madea.
@@paulfeasal6024 - parts of GA are nice. The Appalachian trail starts in northern GA. But some parts of it, no thanks! That's sad, because places like Atlanta lose out on tourist dollars. Walk through Atlanta at night? Better take an Army with you.
I was about to leave the same comment until I saw yours so apparently that guy must don't know about Columbus because this place has gotten to be a hell town it's so many people getting shot and murdered every day like this is just a mini Chicago no jobs but the cost of living is up high like it's big city more jobs closing down this place is nothing but a hell hole and I would advise anymore from some where else not to move here
Columbus needs more quality jobs true, but most of the murders are the young wanna be gangstas killing each other. If you don't live that life and watch your back, C town really isn't *THAT* bad. I'm a 49 year old black male holding down the east side of town (Huntwood, baby!) and I think Columbus could use more jobs and cultural diversity. With that, C town would be the ideal place to chill, but that's just my opinion :)
I'm surprised that Savannah didn't make the list. A former co-worker's dad was murdered somewhere around the riverfront many years ago. In fact, there was an article about the murder in one of those true crime magazines. Thus, that city has had its fair share of crime as well.
I wouldn't blame age it's just the fact Atlanta got corny...I mean I would have loved Atlanta with my current age now when I was in my 20s...I would have hated Atlanta if I was in my 20s living presently now...I mean they pretty much shutdown all the activities we had poppin back then (clubs,parks,stripping, cruising etc)....now you pretty much have to meet people online and now you party at sports bars 🤬🤬...I don't mind women shaking their azz but let me enjoy my hot wings in peace
@@theman584 I disagree the only two prominent races are black and white which coincides with the rest of the south. Outside of Atlanta in places like Macon, Columbus, Valdosta, Cordele, etc are very much old southern. Honestly if you take Atlanta away Ga ain nothing but another Mississippi or Alabama
@@theman584 And as far as politically, understand that last year two prominent police murders occurred under the trump administration so expect a large black majority to vote democratic and even taking race out don’t act like mayor Governor Perdue was good for the state
I moved to Atlanta 13 years ago. I moved 3 times in the first year because of don't have a list like this. Very accurate and the recommendations at the end are spot on! Atlanta is a great place to visit, but living here is entirely different 💕
Monroe is a old beautiful town. A revitalized historical downtown area with concerts in the park, boutique shops and restaurants, antique markets, ice cream shops...just very friendly people and many upscale homes/neighborhoods. Outside of the town proper, lots of rolling green hills with horses and cows. This person got Monroe all wrong☹️ it’s a wonderful small town to call home.
Monroe is a fantastic, thriving town with an involved, active community and beautiful shops and restaurants. I'd expect to see it on the 10 best list. Seriously, you're going to dis the weather in Monroe? The weather here is the same as it is in the towns you mention on your "best of" list. SMH
I moved to Atlanta in February 2006 from New Jersey. The first time I visited was in 1996 as they were preparing for the Olympics. I fell in love with this State and thought for quite awhile about moving there I visited quite a few times after that to get a good feel of the place and to find the best high school for my then fourteen year old daughter. I finally settled for Dunwoody but planned on giving it a year to see how we would adjust but during that year we were both depressed and homesick. I packed up and moved back to NJ in May of 2007. I loved it but I had no family there since they all lived in NYC. Dunwoody is gorgeous though.
I did the same thing. Moved to SW ATL in 2009. Got depressed and home sick. Moved back to NJ in 2013. North Eastern flavor is all through me. The music they call hip hop just brought me down 😢😢😢😢😢 I would be blasting my Eric B. and RAKIM daily.
We moved to Bethlehem Georgia exactly a year ago, Monroe is one of my FAVORITE places! Every time I'm walking in Downtown Monroe I feel like I'm in a Hallmark Movie! Its so charming 🙌🏽
Born and raised in Albany, Ga I feel that city is cursed with bad juju. Me and my husband moved for a better chance at life and haven’t been disappointed since!!!
Dropped out of leesburg high realized that was a bad idea so I graduated from tifton alternative got my diploma and joined the Army. My escape from Albany was the best thing that ever happened to me lol.
The traffic problems in Atlanta are a problem with every urban and suburban city in the United States. When you have so many people, there's just not enough room for everyone to drive a 2 ton vehicle. It's extremely inefficient, causes a ton of pollution, requires a ton of maintenance, and spreads everything out so far that you are pretty much forced to drive unless you live downtown.
I'm from Atlanta and I've never been a victim of any crime. I've lived here all my life with the exception of 3 yrs...thanks for sharing your research.
From East point and can say the same, although I did come close to some very criminal activity growing up there. East Point PD chased someone right into our driveway when I was a kid. the guy's car was just a few feet away from coming through our living room. My mom is tryin to sell that house now so she can move near me and my family in North GA, and the same incident happened again! took out the fence this time lol.
Me either and I lived in East Point, College Park, West Atlanta and now I’m Sandy Springs/Dunwoody area. Not one time have i ever been a victim of crime. Of course there’s bad areas here in Atlanta but that goes for EVERY city in America with high population.
@@joshuabush4057 my house off Roswell road behind southern trace apartments was pretty shitty and it got robbed a few times but that was probably 8 years ago
Me too but I haven't been as lucky as you. I've had many issues in Atlanta. It use to be a great place about seven years ago. Now it's scary to go out at night alone
I grew up in College Park (now known as Colli Park) in the 70's. It was such a great place to live until the Government decided it was a good idea to put up some projects and then white flight came. I'm glad to see College Park coming back slowly.
I’m from Alabama and I move to Georgia 3 years ago, I traveled for months back and forth, I decided to move to Marietta, it was a great decision!! Great video!!
Marietta and Cobb county has experienced decades of smart local governance, with low taxes, good schools, and low crime. UNFORTUNATELY, this last election Democrats assumed control. It’s all downhill from now on...
TERESA Rodgers i will answer where they shipped the jobs---ATLANTA!!! Amazon ,Google, Microsoft warehouses on every other block. I am sick and tried of seeing 18 wheelers on the back roads.
Born an raised in Macon and I’ve never heard the phrase “ I’m from Macon and have the bullet holes to prove it” 🤔 Also if you talk about destitute areas then you have to include the improvements as well.
I lived there for 12 years and i was happy to get out of there. I lived in the historic area and all i heard was gunfire daily. I had a car stolen twice, mail stolen out of the mail box. For the last five years i had to put cameras on my house and the stuff i saw on them i was glad to move out.
@@MidnightinSavannah well I’m happy for you. And historic area’s such as downtown have been destitute for a while. However, you can definitely see some of the positive changes being made. I personally can not say I’ve heard gunshots every night. I think you’re over exaggerating a bit.
@@MidnightinSavannah Crime is anywhere and everywhere. Your story is the same for ppl that live in Atlanta or Savannah. Someone may have been watching your routine.🤷🏾♀️
I notice that my stepmom's first home with my dad(College Park) and her next one(Forest Park) are both on that list. Sorry she ruined your towns, people.
@@jangamecuber my stepmom didn't live in Monroe, but she looked it over when she and my dad were house shopping. Could a couple of day trips by her leave that much of a miasma over the town? I think it's possible.
@@jangamecuber I’m surprised Monroe was on this list I’m in Covington GA not far from it and went to Monroe a few times for my meeting just didn’t seems to be that way!
Well born and raised in Atlanta and I Live downtown and I love it ! I hope people see this video and decide not to move to Ga !! Because people come to visit and never go back home !! New York From ever where they look at you funny when they find out your a real Atlien !! We full stay in your state
I LIVE IN ALBANY GA FOR 4 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS AND NEVER WAS A VICTIM THANK YOU LORD. BUT I'M NOT LIVING IN ALBANY GEORGIA FOREVER. ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE. I'M ORIGINALLY FROM JERSEY CITY, NJ WHEN I VISITED MY FATHER IN ALBANY GEORGIA FOR THE FIRST TIME. FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND HOLIDAY IN MAY 2016. I LOVE IT AND THE WEATHER IS BEAUTIFUL AND NO SNOW. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK TO NEW JERSEY. BUT 2 YEARS LATER ON MAY 20TH 2018 I MOVED TO ALBANY GA TO BE CLOSED TO MY FATHER. I DIDN'T MOVED BACK SENSE AND DIDN'T LOOK BACK. MY NEXT MOVED IS WANT TO MOVED TO COLUMBUS GA.
My dad moved us to Georgia in 1972 to south DeKalb inside 285 and I20. A scene from the Canonball Run was filmed right outside our subdivision. One of the kids I grew up with mother told my mother that we needed to move "for the sake of your boys". She said that in 1977. Since she was a very well educated woman, my mother took her advice.
@@kevingrantonic8812 my daughter lives there with her family...it’s really nice and quiet...GA was my dream for retirement but I changed my mind...that was back in the early 80’s...
The cost of land and housing there can only be afforded by the wealthy. Local tradesmen can't find work there because the builders and contractors prefer to use illegal aliens since they'll work for low wages. The entire State of Georgia has a problem with illegal aliens working at all sorts of jobs for less which as caused many of their residents to work out-of-state construction jobs or to leave the state to live where that's unneeded.
As for Clarkston Georgia, when you put displaced people from more than fifty countries you're bound to encounter trouble. Different cultures, different lifestyles, different food needs, different languages, and in most instances different religious beliefs. All while living in a different country where a Democrat told them...."welcome to our country where we will take care of you and make sure you have all you need, just as long as you vote Democrat at all elections. I'm from Georgia and I've personally heard all the promises that Democrats made to get these people settled into our country.
I currently live in Atlanta and I've been here for quite some time. Parts of Atlanta I love and other parts not so much, luckily for me I work weird hours so I don't have to deal with the traffic.
Do not move to Columbus, Ga. The nigh time is frequently disrupted by rapid machine gun fire from gang activity. According to law enforcement over 168 gangs are operating in the city; they are ill- equipped to handle them. If you do not live in the Midland area, you are at the mercy of violent criminals. Sell your house and move!

Wow this is funny, I've lived in College Park, Atlanta, and East Point for years, and both those areas are building up more and more every year. So I'm wondering how long ago the list was put together. And I'm still in Georgia today, my income is above 50k and I'm just a delivery driver.
As a citizen of the great state of Georgia, the 10 worst places to live in Georgia are... 1 Atlanta 2 Atlanta 3 Atlanta 4 Atlanta 5 Atlanta 6 Atlanta 7 Atlanta 8 Atlanta 9 Atlanta 10 Atlanta.
I grew up in East Point. It was a great place to be a kid... back in the 1960s (I'm 59). I left the metro area in 1999 and I don't often go back. My dad still owns the house I grew up in, but doesn't live in it. It's been vandalized several times.
Being from Leesburg which is right outside of Albany I can confirm the Albany is one of the worst places to live. I’m not exaggerating when I say this, there is a murder about 5 times out of the week. It’s also very creepy at night
Moved here in 1978 and Augusta was a “good old boy” town. It has changed some but still could stand more civilities. Columbia County has suburban growth but not as rural as hayseed Hank. Live in counties outside the suburbia of Augusta/Richmond or Athens/Clark so you can have peace of mind. I was told by an insurance agent, there is Atlanta and there is the rest of Georgia.
Now aparently Atlanta rules GA because people who couldn't flee NYC or Chicago faster forgot to leave their politics that ascribed them their refugee status
I live in Goshen Plantation and never regretted buying this house and living here. We have the top soil here that every gardener dreams about. Next year I will be going heavy on Ambrosia Cantaloupes. Sweetest thing you ever put in yo mouth. I first went to school in Grovetown way back in the 1960's. Lived over at the Trailer park behind the Hayloft beer joint.
please, keep warning people to avoid Camilla, we love it here, and have enough residents now. We do though, avoid Albany after dark and never never ever go alone..watch out for that hellhole
Where is Waycross on this list? Sunset town with a quickly dwindling population, high crime rate, high vehicle accident rate, more sex offenders than port Wentworth and garden city combined (most of which aren't ever prosecuted because...), A laughable police force who suffers from corruption and lack of care. You know this place is a shit show when more than half of downtown is run down, CSX just parks their trains wherever even when there aren't any other ways around, our mall is dead, our schools are over crowded (had a teacher with a habit of resting his balls on students desks and another who was too hung over to even teach) We have nothing more than shoe stores and Walmart with roads always in a state of disrepair (they repave like 5 a year and take a couple years between repairs) I mean our unemployment rate is high like most people here. Everyone I've ever spoken to has either a pill problem or a drug problem. Im moving to Savannah soon to get away from all of this. This place is sad and depressing
I have lived on the Clayton County side of Ellenwood, which is part of Forest Park, for 20 years. I have never been a victim of a crime! The public schools are good and Clayton State University is a real hidden gem when it comes to 4 year institutions. It isn't a bad place to live and the people are friendly.
I grew up in Ellenwood and graduated from Morrow and went to Clayton State. It was a great place to grow up. We moved to get away from the traffic around Atlanta. Now we live in north Alabama.
We all live on a planet which is home to us. Don't let the scumbags trick you into believing that the country/region you were born is your "home" and you have to be so called "patriotic". That being why we're so divided as a human race thinking that we are to be condemned to only a fraction of a percentage of the world's surface and call it home when 100% of it is for all living organisms including PEOPLE. For the backlash I'm destined to receive for calling South Korea my home. As a young black man who grew up around crime and drugs, it's quite relieving/overwhelming once you step foot into a extremely peaceful place with tons of fun , the food, vibes, so many sexy single women 😌 also little to NO crimes committed so you NEVER have to ride dirty. Money is always easy to get as an American so take advantage of it if you think about going! I ranted this here cause no one in my daily life in Columbus GA seems to be interested or even care when I mention how great SK is, but hope this was insightful to y'all, not about south Korea, but the fact that literally the whole world is ours to discover. Definitely better places and living conditions
I lived in Acworth for five years in a beautiful subdivision.. between town lake in Woodstock and other side was Kennesaw.. schools were great, Pitner, Palmer and Kell...no issues cobb county was great
I’ve lived in the Buford/Lawrenceville/Suwanee my whole life which Is the north metropolitan side of Atlanta and the housing market is going crazy. Before 2012 3 bedroom houses were going for around $1000-1400 rent. Now rent is $1300-1800 for renting a 3 bedroom house. But you have to get lucky to get those lower prices I mentioned. 1 bedroom apartments here in Gwinnett country is going $1100
Wooooowwww! I'm from GA and I work over the road. To me, there's no place like home and I can promise I've been a victim of a crime everywhere but home. I'm not from the places named, but this sounds like a commentary from someone who's not from Georgia.
My parents and I used to stop by a restaurant called "The Georgia Pig" in Brunswick, Georgia, on our drive down to visit my grandparents in Florida when I was a child. The barbecued pork there was divine. The water (and the lemonade, which was made using it) was terrible. Dubbed "branch water," it reeked strongly of sulfur. I don't know about other people, but I'd rather not move to a place that always smells like sulfur. . . .
I used to work in Chamblee and get my lunch in Clarkston frequently. Both cities are extremely diverse and have an International feel to them. As a native New Yorker (the Bronx) I have to say that I quickly fell in love with the Atlanta Metro. Traffic is common to a big city, so that didn’t throw me at all. I285 keeps things rolling until it becomes a parking lot. I lived inwhat I called “the Far- East,” Lithonia,GA, which we know is NOT considered Atlanta. I20 heading East is a fun drive when you can open up your car. Avg speed is approx 90!! So stay out of the left lane if you’re sightseeing …just drive!!!!
I grew up in Lithonia back in the 70's and 80's. It was a much sleepier place back then and only about 20 miles outside of Atlanta. There were very few businesses off the Panola Rd exit and Fairington was a great place to grow up in back then.
In the 80s, the Atlanta area was being developed at a rate of 15 acres per day. Yes, per day. If you have nothing to do and need to burn 4 hours, drive the traffic circle around Atlanta, just once, and you will burn your 4 hours away. Atlanta's traffic is enough to weep over. Do you wish to be knifed and robbed? Then walk around Atlanta for 1 hour after sunset, and you will have your wish granted. The rural parts of Georgia are nice to drive through and look at, but Atlanta is bad. Many of its convention centers are empty, and for the same reasons as San Francisco. (And it's not because of the virus).
@@GDixon-ch3yl - yes. I had to go there for work in 1988, and the traffic was terrible 33 years ago. My work was 7 miles from my hotel, and it took 50 minutes to get there. I ate lunch at a busted-up restaurant for lunch because I couldn't bear driving anywhere for lunch, in the heat and the time it would take to go anywhere. Keep Atlanta.
I do agree with Atlanta, but there are some good things about it. The bad things are about how busy stuff is, all the deaths and shootings, lot of crimes, getting expensive
I don’t disagree with most of it but the biggest error IMHO was having Monroe on the list. Monroe is a very charming town. Very nice downtown and great country club. Very good private school. I would replace Monroe with any of the following > Donalsonville, Waycross, Lithia Springs or Cordele.
I actually agree with him. I would add Augusta to the list. Outside of the golf courses the rest of the city look like a third world country. Not to mention the gang violence there it is becoming the new Birmingham.
Haha I live in Monroe! There’s only one internet company serving the rural areas and because they have a monopoly they put zero effort into making it functional. It’s very slow and frequently goes down. Now imagine having to deal with this during the coronavirus pandemic where the entire family needs the internet to go to work or school
@@workinallnight2993 No it's not AT&T its some other company and yes it is a monopoly, very slow and when it goes down it does take forever for them to come out compared to other companies. Don't owe a bill or some other issue because that's the only place you can deal with unfortunately, smh.

As a lifelong resident of Georgia, on the southside of Atlanta, your video is spot on! One thing worth mentioning are the post-secondary technical schools in Georgia are downright awful! Not to mention few technical jobs are available south of I-20, unless you count the airport, which is so poorly ran. The only good parts to Georgia is north of Atlanta. Which is becoming so overcrowded by retirees and smug hipsters. It's sad to see a state that I used to love turning into such a cesspool.
Statesboro is my hometown and our current mayor has worked some miracles revitalizing areas that sorely needed it. Atlanta is NOT the be all and end all of the state and people need to stop thinking that it is.
yeah your not a Georgia resident 😂 theres plenty of good places to live your either sheltered or dumb, besides all the places he named are pretyy chill, even albany east point and macon, its just worst than the rest of the state its not even bad.

The housing market is out of control in Georgia. I have a feeling it's going to get bad for us young Georgians due to Californians, New Yorkers, and others over bidding on houses. I don't mind people moving here, but it becomes a problem when too many move at the same time.
And there’s nothing you can do about it...
I have been saying this for a couple of years. Something needs to be done for actual Georgians. It’s getting soooo bad smh.
@@queenieny4654 RIGHT🧠🗽💸even tho I would never move to Georgia
To me it’s dirt cheap. I moved from Nevada specifically because houses are so inexpensive. Just bought a house in Americus for $89,000 ( approximately 2,000 square feet, .40 of an acre) that would have cost over $500,000 in Reno. And I make a little over $20,000 a year. So basically, I love this state. But you couldn’t pay me to live in Atlanta. I had to drive thru there to get to Albany ( where I originally moved to) and the traffic blew my mind. And I drive through the city on the 75 on a Monday around 10:00 am. It was the first time in my life that I was actually nervous driving.
@@davidbooher5559 damn and I wanted to move to Vegas smmfh...I heard the property taxes would drop due to covid in Vegas...I guess not
After living in Riverdale/Jonesboro from '86 to '06, I can say everything listed about Forest Park, East point, and College Park is correct, and it spreads outward. After the school rezoning of East Point to Riverdale around 1991, crime went through the roof, property values tanked and white flight ensued. In the early to mid 80s Clayton county was a great place to live, young families and retirees, now Clayton county is an absolute shithole to be avoided.
Where Riverdale went south is when Atlanta closed all the project before the Olympics and some of those people went to Riverdale and Jonesboro.
@@MidnightinSavannah It was already on its way down from the rezoning. The Olympics in '96 pushed it right over the edge, with some force.
It’s a crying shame how “The Park” has fallen from the 60’s to the 90’s. Most of my family grew up around there and Mountain View before the airport took over
Decatur??
Like most all places that went to crap. One group moves in the other moves out.
One time this white boy visited Atlanta, I got caught up in the Freaknick traffic jam driving in from the airport and wound up some place called Fat Matt's Rib Shack where i was definitely a my-nor-ity. Some of the best damn barbeque i ever ate.

I'm from Georgia, but a rural town nowhere near Atlanta. The closer your get to the city, the more crime increases, poverty rises, and the farther away you get, the less you have to worry.
there's a reason the state is split into half its population living in ATL and the other half being no where close to it. :)
South Georgia is very bad now.
UPDATE: College Park, and the city of Atlanta is becoming GENTRIFIED! Do these people warn others not to come to certain parts so that they can buy houses (and/or move in) fix them up, and resell for 200xs more? 🤔

South Ga here 🙋🏽♀️
Thank you😂
South Georgia over here too! 🙌🏾
Welcome to kaxeti
Me too I am about as South GA as you can get. Give you a hint Go Syrupmakers.
I lived in GA for a few years, when I was employed with the State of Georgia Department of Labor. People there would assume I was rich, because of that. I remember my coworkers telling me how difficult it was for them to survive on their income, and would sometimes borrow money to get to work. Some lived in Warner Robins, because it was less expensive than Macon, but I paid 600.00 for a three bedroom apartment, which I could never do in other places. I lived in Augusta, also, and the quality of life appeared a little better, maybe because of the golf tournament, which brought in revenue and visitors every year. Overall, I lived comfortably, because of the cost of living, which is considerably lower than where I am living now, back in Michigan.
Agusta is cheaper because it's home to a military base . Anywhere there is one rent has to be low to get government money
I was finna say, Warner Robins is packed full especially from the Macon people leaving out
As long as you don't live in Oakland County. Super over-pricey.
I also lived in Macon Ga in the early 90’s.

James Brown Town ....
It’s just plain old Macon.

@@immaculatesquid Good sound advice. I think I'll do that
Majority of us Georgians joke about Atlanta not being part of our state for a reason. Majority of the people that live = in the metro area are from other parts of the country. Very few people in the Atlanta area and suburbs are actually from Georgia and the Living costs are becoming astronomical as a result. Look at places like Banks County which had less than 12,000 people living in the whole county 10 years ago now you can’t find a place to live there for less than $2000 a month. It has caused most of the locals to resent anyone who has moved there.
This is true about any city anywhere. You picked the worst neighborhoods you could fine and judged the whole city from one area. I know people from many of these towns and they are doing and living just fine. Also crime is everywhere you can’t hide from it.
No Atlanta was dangerous everywhere back in the 80’s and 90’s. I remember it was over 40 housing projects covering the entire city. All those projects was HORRIBLE. I’m glad they are gone too because if they were still standing, Atlanta would be worst than Chicago.
Many of the places mentioned in the video aren't that bad, only a pansy would be scared in some of the places mentioned.

The pandemic has tempered Atlanta traffic considerably. As an Uber/Lyft driver, I used to avoid driving during rush hours in the morning and afternoon - but, now, it's actually not too bad. And, many of the communities that used to be on the "worst places to live in Atlanta" lists are now up and coming communities where gentrification has displaced the crime and pushed out those who can no longer afford to live there. Cabbage Town, for example, used to be one of those poor communities with high crime and poverty, and now you can hardly find any homes for less than $400k to buy.
Yes Richard , I used to avoid working morning rush hour in Atlanta as well as a Lyft & Uber driver but yeah you’re right since the pandemic it’s not that bad at all . You’re right about Cabbage Town also .
More remote working, long term it will be bad for you
Albany used to be a wonderful city. I left the area over forty years ago, and the one thing that I notice most on visits is how nothing changes. The infrastructure has been allowed to crumble, neighborhoods that were once nice are now dilapidated and in distress. Roads are not repaired but they build new gas stations and every other business is closing. I have so much history here and hate what has become of the "good life city".
I accidentally got locked out of the hospital years ago at night when I went to get something out of my car. A doctor saw me and let me in through a restricted area just so I wouldn’t get killed for being outside.

I'm not saying that there aren't bad areas, but I'm from Georgia, and I frequently visit alot of these cities and towns when my buddy and I are out shooting videos and pics of trains, and we've never been bothered by anyone, not once. It depends on where you go also.
It's how you carry yourself
Hearing about how Georgia may become the new California upsets me as a Georgian, because I actually want to see forests when I drive and not be constantly on fire or have fires.
You don’t have to worry, that will never happen.
Haha. Do you think people moving in from California is going to cause more fires in Georgia? Damn, I guess if they try to stop controlled burning, they might. Sheesh, unintended consequences of letting idiots move in. Maybe we need a wall around Georgia.
Heu
Forest fires are due to the Climate in California. If Georgia has a long drought of many years, then you can worry. The climate is dry in the areas of California where they have the big fires. There have been very long droughts in California. I use to live in Colorado and it is also a dry climate. There is a lot of humidity is Georgia. It is not dry like the states out West.
@@rockymtnsteeze1815 Not to mention the forest fires in California are actually a good thing most of the time. Unfortunately, drought and climate change as well as expanding human settlements are the reason why they've gotten worse. Forest fires are generally good for the environment
The very same can be said of most any place in the U.S. If you look for the bad, make a video about it. Look for the good, and make a video about it. You can do it just as well.
Lived in GA my whole life. There’s one common denominator which everyone’s afraid to admit with each one of these high crime cities, and that’s either a high black population, or a rapid increase in black population, and the data speaks for itself.

Columbus needs more quality jobs true, but most of the murders are the young wanna be gangstas killing each other. If you don't live that life and watch your back, C town really isn't *THAT* bad.

I moved to Atlanta in February 2006 from New Jersey. The first time I visited was in 1996 as they were preparing for the Olympics. I fell in love with this State and thought for quite awhile about moving there I visited quite a few times after that to get a good feel of the place and to find the best high school for my then fourteen year old daughter. I finally settled for Dunwoody but planned on giving it a year to see how we would adjust but during that year we were both depressed and homesick. I packed up and moved back to NJ in May of 2007. I loved it but I had no family there since they all lived in NYC. Dunwoody is gorgeous though.

When you have so many people, there's just not enough room for everyone to drive a 2 ton vehicle. It's extremely inefficient, causes a ton of pollution, requires a ton of maintenance, and spreads everything out so far that you are pretty much forced to drive unless you live downtown.

Marietta and Cobb county has experienced decades of smart local governance, with low taxes, good schools, and low crime. UNFORTUNATELY, this last election Democrats assumed control. It’s all downhill from now on...
Small town Georgia suffered greatly from mill and factory closures. Shipped all those jobs to- let me think, hmmm....
Too true.
And now we're getting all the businesses that are foreign owned 🤷

Born an raised in Macon and I’ve never heard the phrase “ I’m from Macon and have the bullet holes to prove it” 🤔 Also if you talk about destitute areas then you have to include the improvements as well.
I lived there for 12 years and i was happy to get out of there. I lived in the historic area and all i heard was gunfire daily. I had a car stolen twice, mail stolen out of the mail box. For the last five years i had to put cameras on my house and the stuff i saw on them i was glad to move out.
@@MidnightinSavannah well I’m happy for you. And historic area’s such as downtown have been destitute for a while. However, you can definitely see some of the positive changes being made. I personally can not say I’ve heard gunshots every night. I think you’re over exaggerating a bit.
@@MidnightinSavannah Crime is anywhere and everywhere. Your story is the same for ppl that live in Atlanta or Savannah. Someone may have been watching your routine.🤷🏾♀️

It's not your fault.
I’m near another place on this list(Monroe).
@@jangamecuber my stepmom didn't live in Monroe, but she looked it over when she and my dad were house shopping. Could a couple of day trips by her leave that much of a miasma over the town? I think it's possible.

I moved from Albany 25 years ago
Born and raised in Atlanta I was here during the so-called white flight
My dad moved us to Georgia in 1972 to south DeKalb inside 285 and I20. A scene from the Canonball Run was filmed right outside our subdivision. One of the kids I grew up with mother told my mother that we needed to move "for the sake of your boys". She said that in 1977. Since she was a very well educated woman, my mother took her advice.

St. Simons is a beautiful place to live in. I saw it first hand and it was gorgeous...
The cost of land and housing there can only be afforded by the wealthy. Local tradesmen can't find work there because the builders and contractors prefer to use illegal aliens since they'll work for low wages. The entire State of Georgia has a problem with illegal aliens working at all sorts of jobs for less which as caused many of their residents to work out-of-state construction jobs or to leave the state to live where that's unneeded.
As for Clarkston Georgia, when you put displaced people from more than fifty countries you're bound to encounter trouble. Different cultures, different lifestyles, different food needs, different languages, and in most instances different religious beliefs. All while living in a different country where a Democrat told them...."welcome to our country where we will take care of you and make sure you have all you need, just as long as you vote Democrat at all elections. I'm from Georgia and I've personally heard all the promises that Democrats made to get these people settled into our country.
The worst place in Georgia is where the lights went out. Terrible legal system there.

Do not move to Columbus, Ga. The nigh time is frequently disrupted by rapid machine gun fire from gang activity. According to law enforcement over 168 gangs are operating in the city; they are ill- equipped to handle them. If you do not live in the Midland area, you are at the mercy of violent criminals. Sell your house and move!

Wow this is funny, I've lived in College Park, Atlanta, and East Point for years, and both those areas are building up more and more every year. So I'm wondering how long ago the list was put together. And I'm still in Georgia today, my income is above 50k and I'm just a delivery driver.
50K is average salary in Georgia?

I grew up in East Point. It was a great place to be a kid... back in the 1960s (I'm 59). I left the metro area in 1999 and I don't often go back. My dad still owns the house I grew up in, but doesn't live in it. It's been vandalized several times.
I’m gonna tell you as a lifelong Georgia native, there’s a reason the Devil came here first of all 50 states…
I was born in Swainsboro Ga and spent most of my childhood there in the 70s. I now live in South Carolina. 'Nuff said.
Good one
YEE-YEET!
I am sorry you live in SC. I grew up there and was never so glad to leave. Such a backwards state.
Being from Leesburg which is right outside of Albany I can confirm the Albany is one of the worst places to live. I’m not exaggerating when I say this, there is a murder about 5 times out of the week. It’s also very creepy at night
Was also a Trojan, and the stories about bodies in river growing up were weekly for sure
I grew up in Clarkston and I can say I have PTSD from living in that God forsaken place.
Moved here in 1978 and Augusta was a “good old boy” town. It has changed some but still could stand more civilities. Columbia County has suburban growth but not as rural as hayseed Hank. Live in counties outside the suburbia of Augusta/Richmond or Athens/Clark so you can have peace of mind. I was told by an insurance agent, there is Atlanta and there is the rest of Georgia.
Now aparently Atlanta rules GA because people who couldn't flee NYC or Chicago faster forgot to leave their politics that ascribed them their refugee status
I was born and live in Augusta and I still say it's a good place to live and I live in Richmond County right off of Washington RD.
Oh
Augusta is good. My Dad was a Policeman in Augusta started in the 1960's...retired.❤🙏🏼🙏🏼
I live in Goshen Plantation and never regretted buying this house and living here. We have the top soil here that every gardener dreams about. Next year I will be going heavy on Ambrosia Cantaloupes. Sweetest thing you ever put in yo mouth. I first went to school in Grovetown way back in the 1960's. Lived over at the Trailer park behind the Hayloft beer joint.
please, keep warning people to avoid Camilla, we love it here, and have enough residents now. We do though, avoid Albany after dark and never never ever go alone..watch out for that hellhole
Where is Waycross on this list?
Sunset town with a quickly dwindling population, high crime rate, high vehicle accident rate, more sex offenders than port Wentworth and garden city combined (most of which aren't ever prosecuted because...), A laughable police force who suffers from corruption and lack of care.
You know this place is a shit show when more than half of downtown is run down, CSX just parks their trains wherever even when there aren't any other ways around, our mall is dead, our schools are over crowded (had a teacher with a habit of resting his balls on students desks and another who was too hung over to even teach)
We have nothing more than shoe stores and Walmart with roads always in a state of disrepair (they repave like 5 a year and take a couple years between repairs)
I mean our unemployment rate is high like most people here. Everyone I've ever spoken to has either a pill problem or a drug problem. Im moving to Savannah soon to get away from all of this. This place is sad and depressing
I have lived on the Clayton County side of Ellenwood, which is part of Forest Park, for 20 years. I have never been a victim of a crime!
The public schools are good and Clayton State University is a real hidden gem when it comes to 4 year institutions.
It isn't a bad place to live and the people are friendly.
I recently graduated from CSU in May!
Exactly . This whole video is ridiculous .
I grew up in Ellenwood and graduated from Morrow and went to Clayton State. It was a great place to grow up. We moved to get away from the traffic around Atlanta. Now we live in north Alabama.

We all live on a planet which is home to us. Don't let the scumbags trick you into believing that the country/region you were born is your "home" and you have to be so called "patriotic". That being why we're so divided as a human race thinking that we are to be condemned to only a fraction of a percentage of the world's surface and call it home when 100% of it is for all living organisms including PEOPLE.
For the backlash I'm destined to receive for calling South Korea my home. As a young black man who grew up around crime and drugs, it's quite relieving/overwhelming once you step foot into a extremely peaceful place with tons of fun , the food, vibes, so many sexy single women 😌 also little to NO crimes committed so you NEVER have to ride dirty. Money is always easy to get as an American so take advantage of it if you think about going! I ranted this here cause no one in my daily life in Columbus GA seems to be interested or even care when I mention how great SK is, but hope this was insightful to y'all, not about south Korea, but the fact that literally the whole world is ours to discover. Definitely better places and living conditions
As a life long Georgian. There are good places here too. Not all bad dude

@@residentrump3271 I do agree. Totally
I lived in Acworth for five years in a beautiful subdivision.. between town lake in Woodstock and other side was Kennesaw.. schools were great, Pitner, Palmer and Kell...no issues cobb county was great
I’ve lived in the Buford/Lawrenceville/Suwanee my whole life which Is the north metropolitan side of Atlanta and the housing market is going crazy. Before 2012 3 bedroom houses were going for around $1000-1400 rent. Now rent is $1300-1800 for renting a 3 bedroom house. But you have to get lucky to get those lower prices I mentioned. 1 bedroom apartments here in Gwinnett country is going $1100
You spend way more than 70 hours per year in traffic
Wooooowwww! I'm from GA and I work over the road. To me, there's no place like home and I can promise I've been a victim of a crime everywhere but home. I'm not from the places named, but this sounds like a commentary from someone who's not from Georgia.
My parents and I used to stop by a restaurant called "The Georgia Pig" in Brunswick, Georgia, on our drive down to visit my grandparents in Florida when I was a child. The barbecued pork there was divine. The water (and the lemonade, which was made using it) was terrible. Dubbed "branch water," it reeked strongly of sulfur. I don't know about other people, but I'd rather not move to a place that always smells like sulfur. . . .
lol yea that place sucks i live there
I've only been up 95, but from the miniscule amount I saw, I liked it. I'd like to go to the cities and mountains and stuff, one day though.
I used to work in Chamblee and get my lunch in Clarkston frequently. Both cities are extremely diverse and have an International feel to them. As a native New Yorker (the Bronx) I have to say that I quickly fell in love with the Atlanta Metro. Traffic is common to a big city, so that didn’t throw me at all. I285 keeps things rolling until it becomes a parking lot. I lived inwhat I called “the Far- East,” Lithonia,GA, which we know is NOT considered Atlanta. I20 heading East is a fun drive when you can open up your car. Avg speed is approx 90!! So stay out of the left lane if you’re sightseeing …just drive!!!!
I grew up in Lithonia back in the 70's and 80's. It was a much sleepier place back then and only about 20 miles outside of Atlanta. There were very few businesses off the Panola Rd exit and Fairington was a great place to grow up in back then.
@@chrisdunlap4517 I almost moved to Lithonia. There are a lot of nice homes. I couldn't stand the traffic so I did not move to Georgia.
In the 80s, the Atlanta area was being developed at a rate of 15 acres per day. Yes, per day. If you have nothing to do and need to burn 4 hours, drive the traffic circle around Atlanta, just once, and you will burn your 4 hours away. Atlanta's traffic is enough to weep over. Do you wish to be knifed and robbed? Then walk around Atlanta for 1 hour after sunset, and you will have your wish granted.
The rural parts of Georgia are nice to drive through and look at, but Atlanta is bad. Many of its convention centers are empty, and for the same reasons as San Francisco. (And it's not because of the virus).
Over built with no consciousness of the people and the place. Avarice AKA greed
@@GDixon-ch3yl - yes. I had to go there for work in 1988, and the traffic was terrible 33 years ago. My work was 7 miles from my hotel, and it took 50 minutes to get there. I ate lunch at a busted-up restaurant for lunch because I couldn't bear driving anywhere for lunch, in the heat and the time it would take to go anywhere. Keep Atlanta.
This is an absolute lie. I do it every day. How have a never been "knifed and robbed"? Where do people come up with such absurdity?
I do agree with Atlanta, but there are some good things about it. The bad things are about how busy stuff is, all the deaths and shootings, lot of crimes, getting expensive
You forgot to mention, 80% of the people in Atlanta are NOT from Atlanta.
Touché.
And that's where the issue in my opinion. People heard whatever hype about Ga & brought their bad behavior to start over.
I don’t disagree with most of it but the biggest error IMHO was having Monroe on the list. Monroe is a very charming town. Very nice downtown and great country club. Very good private school. I would replace Monroe with any of the following > Donalsonville, Waycross, Lithia Springs or Cordele.
Was born and raised less than 10 min from Waycross. Not sure why you’d put it up there…
I actually agree with him. I would add Augusta to the list. Outside of the golf courses the rest of the city look like a third world country. Not to mention the gang violence there it is becoming the new Birmingham.
I agree. A year later, you can see how Monroe is growing and developing in a positive way.
Haha I live in Monroe! There’s only one internet company serving the rural areas and because they have a monopoly they put zero effort into making it functional. It’s very slow and frequently goes down. Now imagine having to deal with this during the coronavirus pandemic where the entire family needs the internet to go to work or school
Gotta' love our con artists who we keep electing that are bought by these pricks!

Let me guess, AT&T. Welcome to rural Georgia.
@@workinallnight2993 No it's not AT&T its some other company and yes it is a monopoly, very slow and when it goes down it does take forever for them to come out compared to other companies. Don't owe a bill or some other issue because that's the only place you can deal with unfortunately, smh.

Isn`t it amazing that every city or small town hood has a Wal-Mart, Family Dollar, or Dollar General. These three retailers make a fortune from people who have nothing yet pay their employees peanuts.
Building a bypass around a town does not necessarily mean the town is bad. It could mean the town's traffic is bad.
That's exactly the reason because of the traffic but Macon Georgia is a crime infested City I know by experience
I lived in South Ga for a time. A lot of people would tell me " I ain't never been out of Georgia, but I have been to Atlanta once".

As a lifelong resident of Georgia, on the southside of Atlanta, your video is spot on! One thing worth mentioning are the post-secondary technical schools in Georgia are downright awful! Not to mention few technical jobs are available south of I-20, unless you count the airport, which is so poorly ran. The only good parts to Georgia is north of Atlanta. Which is becoming so overcrowded by retirees and smug hipsters. It's sad to see a state that I used to love turning into such a cesspool.
Yep
Statesboro is my hometown and our current mayor has worked some miracles revitalizing areas that sorely needed it.
