The main thing I’m not crazy about in Georgia is the climate. It’s HOT a good portion of the year. That and the income tax. The more you make, the more they take.

Yes outside of Atlanta you can expect that good ole Southern charm and friendliness from neighbors *unless your black, if your black you can expect to be gangstalked by police and the neighborhood arrested over anything they can find after a scroupulus search....and ultimately treated as an underdog 🤷🏿♀️
@@marlettemorris4117 I found it okay to be honest, but then again I'm from England. A black man with a posh British accent, sends Georgians (and Americans in general) into a mental breakdown. I don't deny that me and my white wife don't hold hands as often as we would like, but again, because we are British we just don't get America's negative obsession with pigmentation...!!!
I been to Atlanta and walking around downtown/midtown area and the problem is about Atlanta is traffic jam which is the rush hour. I would move to GA one day. GA Tech is from Atlanta and UGA is from Athen GA. Geaux Atlanta Braves
What about the thick racism in some parts. My sister in law lived in a smaller mountain town in north Georgia, she’s black, and she could not go anywhere without people people racist. Refusing her service, calling her names, etc. I’m military and we just moved to South Georgia. She moved near us and she has had ZERO issues here.
I don't feel like I am qualified to speak on this as my experiences as a white female, and my perspective, is going to be drastically different. I can say that most of metro Atlanta is very diverse.
Lol...I'm qualified. Born and raised in GA, now 54yo. It's a melting pot...from woke minorities to inbred 'good old boys' and everything in between so you'll find your share of wingnuts who hate you no matter your skin color. As a white, I Ieft Ga to go to Texas five years ago because my last ten jobs I was the only white guy there and they run you off. You get called 'cracker' pumping gas, lol. Everyone has stories so...find some good folk to hang out with and grow a skin. Stay out of segregated areas if it isn't your group.
Georgia has everything from angry woke minorities to inbred good 'ol boys so you'll find your fair share of haters and wingnuts no matter what. Grow a skin before you show up, and keep looking for good folk...they're out there!
North GA is gorgeous! I wanna live there. Not sure if it would be smart for me. I have Va Disability and ssdi. Are their property tax benefits for me in GA? The state income tax has been the biggest reason for me to not want to move there.
Hey Sam, thanks for hopping over here. Georgia has excellent benefits to Veterans. It sounds like you would qualify for no property taxes. Most of my out of state clients have found that the much lower property taxes (0 in your case) have offset the state income taxes. I definitely think it’s worth exploring!

As an Atheist, I would be absolutely offended by any religious person insisting I go to church (and judging me for NOT being religious). It's no different than if I knocked on someone's door there and asked them NOT to go to church. That's my biggest fear of moving to GA (which I have been considering so I can be closer to family there). What scares me is the reality that while Georgians claim to be friendly, it's only if you fit THEIR beliefs.
I love getting info from your countty and truly like the way you present it. However, i wonder if you could probide to me a list of two to ten names of people who would like to become a friend with me. Do not care gender and age. I just want to know people from there before i visit your country. Im American as well as Latín American therefore i can travel anywhere in this planet.
I’m from Boston,MA and the people here completely suck we call them “massholes” and the house/rental market is through the roof. I want to move out of this state when time and money allows it
I'm from CT we have the same issues here! A lot of rude ppl always in a rush! I'm dying to move down south 😭 😫 it would be difficult given the majority of our family is up here but I've never liked CT and I've lived here my whole life 🤣
Ga and the south is not always what it seems. Jobs are harder to get down there and they do pay less. About 20-25% less. Taxes are higher in Ga because clothes and food is taxed. Homes can be just as expensive as the northeast and property taxes are up there as well. It is the opposite of MA and CT in Ga. People are way over friendly which feels great at first but you will be bothered every second every store everywhere and if you don’t smile and be super friendly back people take great offense to that. Again there are positives and negatives in every place you live. Ga is no exception.
Hi Sarah! I am thinking about moving to GA from NYC and need some assistance. I have not yet visited the state but would like to direction. I am hoping you can guide me in the right direction. Thank you!
Parts of Central,Northern,Western,Eastern,Georgia, along with the South Georgia especially of the Macon Area is racist! If youre black avoid those parts of the state at all cost! Especially around Savannah, and Burnswick Area too!
TONS OF SNOW=2 inches? lol I had to google that 'storm' because it was 2 inches of snow. this video is the PR Ga deserves for sure! No healthcare protections (my cousin died because she was shot but the healthcare staff wanted a pregnancy test on her before operating just incase she was pregnant), no legal protections, terrible education systems, terrible weather, terrible options for careers with little to no growth, terrible politics and gerrymandering, hate crimes get backlogged for years and cops dont do their jobs if oppressed peoples are victims (remember the woman who went to prison for jay-walking in ATL! and then the man who was chased down and murdered in South Ga.) Unless you're being stationed here and dont have a choice, or unless you're Black and having a hard time finding community, I'd say STAY AWAY from this hellhole.
Bueno para mí lo que encontré difícil fue la falta de aceptación de otra nacionalidad, o color. Yo vengo de Fl, y en Florida todos son bienvenidos, pero en GA mi familia y yo tuvimos que aprender a lidiar con los prejuicios de la gente. Yo soy de piel oscura y mis hijos son de piel clara, entonces estábamos mezclados en mi casa. Pero la gente en GA veía eso mal sin saber que eran mis hijos. Que pena un estado con tantas cosas lindas tenga lo peor en ellos, prejuicio.
Yeah, living in the Gainesville and Oakwood areas, when i first moved to the state from Texas I transferred from my job as retail loss prevention and immediately, on day one, noticed the rude behavior simply because of my job title. Attempting to be helpful at my job towards folks, people misconstrued my actions and were always quick to be negative and accuse me of profiling. I was even asked if this was America when i was speaking Spanish to a coworker. To be fair, several people in Texas who had lived or visited warned me Georgia has great scenery but the people were horrible.
If you’ve lived someplace your entire life, why leave just because your retired? Moving down south has just became a marketing sales job by the home building and real estate industry. You spend money moving, they get your money, and who cares if your happy? The locals don’t want you … they don’t understand you and you don’t understand them. Don’t count of that free pie or cake when you move in, either. Andy and Mayberry is only on TV … and that was a long time ago! Just stay home, downsize if you need to, and spend time with your grandchildren, vacation often, and be happy!
Reading comments I’m not surprised there’s some “victim mentality people” but I’m brown as Mexicans can get and everyone has been absolutely lovely and welcoming to me 🥰
en todos los estados hay cosas malas y buenas cada cual vive donde mas le conviene eso si hay estados que con lo que se gana el dinero no da para los billes aqui en texas se esta poniendo demasiado caro porque muchas personas se estan mudando a tx y todo esta por las nubes por eso ando buscando otro lugar mas barato se cobra bien per asi mismo se va el dinero ya ni me sobra como antes.
“Neighbors will invite you to church” So Georgia only has Christians? I’m from NY and was thinking about moving to Georgia but your comment tells me there are no Jewish people or culture for that matter in your state. I’ll stay in the north where I can be treated humanely.
Thank you for your insight Paul. While there are a lot of Christians, there are a ton of different cultures including a large Jewish community. Thank you for bringing that to my attention--I'm by no means perfect and I would love to welcome you to Georgia!
Research synagogues prior to moving, which is what we did. We found a large Jewish community in Roswell, GA because of 3 reform temples in the area. We also plan to reach out to them to find out about neighborhood suggestions.
" Bless your heart!" in west coast......people really think.....that's the nicest thing to say!
