Having just moved after 6 years in Philadelphia: very high violent crime, and corrupt local government w/ no interest in technology; rents are lower compared to DC or NYC but raising rapidly. While I loved going to the Philly tech meetups, most everyone was working in the suburbs, where companies are free of the high city corporate tax rate (most cities don't _have_ corporate taxes).

Atlanta can probably rival Philly when it comes to violent crime and corrupt institutions.

Every city has pockets that are bad and pockets that are safe. Atlanta has tons of safe places.

I fatfinger voted on this comment (when I wasn't intending to vote at all). I don't know if it was an upvote or downvote. Whoops! and sorry.

Crime is a downside, but it's also one that's not uniformly distributed throughout the city. And to be fair, Atlanta isn't a low-crime city either.
