I'm from Atlanta, and it's interesting to see ATL on this list. Does ATL have a reputation as a "rough" city? Not offended, just curious.

Depending on the neighborhood YMMV, imagine that's the case for most of these cities.

I stayed in downtown ATL for a bit and it seemed pretty safe. It’s not a particularly rough city. Downtown isn’t particularly walkable though, with its 4 lane 1 way streets. I ended up driving a lot.
