Yeah, that is just your experience. I know literally hundreds of people from all across the country/world who have lived here 20+ years and never intend to move back from where they came from. This includes my New Yorker parents for whom it will be 40 years soon.

Why the attitude? Not everyone finds Atlanta impressive. You know that's ok, right? Some people love Atlanta, some don't. People have a right to not like something.

I have to ask; you have been here since the 90s right? You don't like this city,right? What has kept you in a place you can't stand that long? I mean surely an opportunity to go back home has appeared in ~15 years?
