have lived and hacked in metro/downtown Atlanta my entire adult life (however decently well traveled inside and outside the US), I think the emphasis on traffic being horrible cannot be understated. I would love to see a large scale study of Atlanta residents' overall perception of Atlanta grouped by how many miles they drive per week avg. It is an amazing city provided you are within walking distance of your destination between the hours of 7am and 7pm weekdays.
