G/F has to transfer to Atlanta or Florida for autotrader with an increase in pay(same at either location). Just want to hear what you guys think if you would prefer one over the other. I on the other hand sell cars so i can do that anywhere. Any helpful input will be greatly appreciated! Arron (s/c black rsx) keeps telling me to go to ATL guess he loves it there. Only positive leaning me towards Fl is I will be 30 min drive to the water, where in Atlanta its a few hour drive, and I love water sports! Cost of living seems to be a tad bit lower in ATL though. So im kinda torn, thanks! ---

Tampa is alright. Gasperilla is awesome haha. I’d say they’re pretty close to the same atmosphere and cost of living though. ---

I love living in Atlanta. I’ve never had any experience in FL though, but I have also lived in New England, Rochester, Ithaca, Memhpis and Chicago so I’ve been around a bit. Let me know if you have any specific questions. ---

my dad lives in Bradenton off of Route 64, Tampa is very busy and a lot of traffic, I am not sure about the tampa area as far as living. I would look at clearwater/st. Pete rather than tampa, again depending on the area in each. Bradenton/Sarasota is a great area as long as you stay out of certain parts, St. Armands Circle is a nice area but $$$$. Bradenton Beach down to lido beach is all very nice even if you live more inland it’s like 10 minutes to a beach. If you choose this area then send me an address and I can tell you what it is like around there. ---

I’d hate to say I lived in Georgia or Florida. EW. I’ve lived in California and NY. I don’t think I’d live anywhere else ( maybe specific parts of Jersey, specific parts of Colorado, parts of Vermont ) ---

Nice thing about FL - no income tax. However I’m sure that property costs, and taxes are far higher. ---

Me personally i would go with ATL area specifially I like Powder Springs a friend who I use to work with went there and really likes it and from what I have seen looks like a great place to live. FL is cool and all but just so damn expensive to live there. ---
