Hello, folks who live in Atlanta. Is the crime scene really bad there? I keep seeing violent crime on news. Some apparently good areas like Sandy Spring and Buckhead I think have seen uptick but I don't know if that is all fake news or what. Even MARTA I heard is not that safe but again idk if it's fake news. Office is midtown #crime #violence #moving #relocation #housing #col #lcol #midtown #dunwoody #brookhaven TC:97K
It’s one of the shit city in my mind, will never live in there.
Shut the fck up
If only everyone had gotten vaccinated....
Yes, it’s getting worse. Source: I live here. Also buckhead is usually where shootings and car thefts occur. Check out : atlscoop on Instagram.
Lol. Idk why tech companies are expanding there.
OP, things are getting worse for sure.
It’s mainly car thefts in Atlanta, city has had a terrible mayor for the past 4 years that’s made things worse. You can live in suburbs or places like Brookhaven with no issues.
Google, you are not telling op about commute from brookhaven. Even marta is dangerous
No idea where he’s trying to commute to, everyone is WFH, plus everyone drives in Atlanta
Georgia is not the place for public transit. Never has been and probably never will be. Own a car and drive everywhere is the culture. Hence, MARTA sucks except maybe to/from airport. In terms of crime, I felt less safe in Seattle where citizens actively looked for trouble to get into. I think the crime perception is overblown. Be safe and aware like you should in any city. Don’t be an asshole, especially to strangers. You’ll be fine.
My friends experience with MARTA train has been okay for regular commute but for general, I agree.
Suburbs are pretty good, downtown sucks though. I feel like it’s getting slightly better with more professionals moving to the city and more giant companies opening offices here. Sandy springs and Roswell are great places to live but very car dependent.
There is MARTA from Sandy springs right for office commute at least...
Depends on what you mean by downtown. Downtown proper has always been pretty rundown. Buckhead is safe and overall fancy (despite the alleged crime wave) and Midtown is mostly ok. There are still sketchy pockets, but with so much gentrification, those are rapidly diminishing.
Can you name a few suburbs that have low crime rate and are close to Atlanta Tech hub?
You can also live off the Beltline, Ponce/Krog Street
My apartment in Smyrna was burglarized a few days ago. Thinking of leaving Atlanta. Traffic is horrible
Oh wow, sorry to hear that. Is the house in a good neighborhood? How did the robbers get inside?
