I remember seeing a headline a while back about apartment square footage (I think it was this: https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/rental-market/us-average-apart...), and Atlanta was at the top of the heap for size.

I used to live right next to the Beltine near PCM in a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 900 sqft, all upgraded unit for less than $1200 a month. Now the prices are ridiculous (for ATL) - $1800+ for a one bedroom.

But it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than our most expensive cities. You would think the salaries would be adjusted accordingly, but from my experience job hunting, they aren't to any appreciable degree.

What is the ATL market like for entry-level developers? Is it that salary isn't adjusting accordingly or that rent costs are catching up to the increased wealth?
