Anyone here wish to move out of Ga? If so, for what reasons? What would make you stay?

Are you meaning the entire State of Georgia, or just that small portion where you live?

There are areas where you would have to nail me to the floor to get me to stay, but I wouldn't leave the Coastal part for any amount of money. The ocean, marshes and the rivers are important to me.

GA is OK for me overall. I live in metro Atlanta, but I have family scattered in a few places all over GA. Sometimes I think I would like to go live in rural GA. I have lived in a few other countries and some other US states and it is not that bad here. There is good and bad everywhere. I am bit tired of the big city, I have to admit.

Many factors come into play, but due to work and family not being that far away, I am staying for now. If I got a tempting job offer elsewhere, I would consider leaving, so I am not that attached to Georgia as a whole.

I want to move out of GA. Way to socially conservative for me. At least I got out of the Atlanta suburbs though!

thedude, I'm jealous. I dislike GA for that same reason (and a couple others), but currently still stuck in the 'burbs and hating it.

With the reality of numbers, I'm looking at Houston, Tampa, maybe VA Beach. If I recognize and take advantage of a well-paying opportunity/windfall, home is calling... back to California, Arnie and all.

A natural disaster giving Atlanta a coast, a cure for allergies, and a 900% improvement in public schools might make me stay, but I'd still spend at least 3 months a year in CA.

Getting very, very sick of Atlanta, but I'm shipping off to the Coast Guard in a few weeks and I'm Tybee Island bound

I don't think I've ever liked Georgia. We moved here when my husband was stationed at Fort Stewart. It was instant dislike for me. I've never felt truly comfortable here. My husband wasn't crazy about Georgia at first either but he likes it now so I think that had more to do with hating Ft. Stewart than anything. We've lived and visited all over the state pretty much and the only places I really liked were Covington, Madison, and Watkinsville. I dream of the day when I can leave but my husband is a Southern boy who is reluctant to leave the South. I'm working on it though.

I find that there is plenty to love about GA, particularly the mountains, the charming neighborhoods in Atlanta, and the state's very unique coast. I lived in plenty of other places, visited many more...it made me appreciate GA even more.
