Says nobody that's been to Atlanta or has taken two minutes to use the internet to check preconceived notions about Georgia against the city.

Apologies for not responding. I actually forgot I posted this. :(

Lived in Atlanta for many years. It is much more liberal than surrounding areas, true. However, Seattle is in another league when it comes to this sort of thing.

Which is not to say that we don't have a ways to go, either. In particular, we have some really hard problems to consider out here.

Politics isn't just local laws but also state laws.

Which state laws affect individuals more than they would n liberal states? Atlanta being such a major city makes GA very pro business. Businesses are doing a lot to keep pressure on the state to keep it from becoming more conservative.

Laws about abortions, bathrooms, access to the social net, etc.

The weather in Atlanta isn't much better than Seattle, if you compare season to season.

Seattle has one bad season, one good season. Atlanta is the same.

The weather in Atlanta is just more extreme, honestly. Which can matter a lot if you like hot weather. Out here in Seattle it is almost always cooler. Hardly ever actually "cold" though, in that I think Atlanta actually got more snow and I had my pipes freeze more there than I have out here.

Now, the winter is much darker. The shift in sunset and sunrise is much more pronounced. This is somewhat offset by how much bloody sun we get in the summer. Which is truly insane. Sun is up by 4:30 most mornings, and you can see outside till near 10 most evenings. (Sunset, I think, is well earlier than that, but our twilight is bright. I am likely mistaken on this understanding, though. Haven't taken a journal or kept records, etc.)

It is overcast 8-9 months of the year in Seattle.
