No offense, Laz, but as a Southerner I would say the problem with Atlanta is that it is populated by too many Yankess who'd rather not be there in the first place.

I'm workin' on it; I'm workin' on it. :o)

But seriously -- Atlanta has a planning problem. If anything, Atlanta has convinced me that raw market forces make for a mess when it comes to city planning.

I'm a big market-forces guy. But Atlanta shows me that market forces don't make for a well-planned city. Chicago works well. Nice design. CRAPPY state though. Wouldn't live there for love nor money ever again -- especially the former.

New York City f**kin' rocks. Best designed city on the planet, I'd get close to saying. LOVED living there for a couple months. Again, Crappy state.

That's all the cities I know well.

I have relatives in NY City and have been there several times. I've never seen such a trashy, dirty run down depressing place in my life.

Sure there are some nice areas and some really cool happening hot spots...but the majority of the city is disgusting and ugly.
