I'm originally from the Bay area and moved to Atlanta. I was super excited to finally experience living in a predominantly blk city lol. Whew, I had never experienced so much wickedness in my life 😩 I lasted 3 years and moved back to the west coast. Ppl are extra foul out there. The energy is heavy and demonic. I couldn't deal.

There is a black cloud of haters, always hating on each other but will pretend to be genuine in your face, always in secret competition with each other

[Geneva]

I’m a native of Atlanta, and I would have to agree with you. Atlanta has become very superficial. Glad I have my small circle of down to earth friends and basically keep to myself.

[wayneholley]

ATLANTA IS NOT THE MECCA ANY MORE. YOUR SPOT ON YOUNG SISTER, BE SAFE AND BE BLESS 🙌 🙏.

[ronque]

I’m actually pretty shocked people are still moving to Atlanta. But many of the things you spoke of are actually pretty insightful. It does take time to find your way, but keep it up and don’t quit if you have a plan to make the move meaningful for yourself and to serve others. Put God first and you will never be alone.

[awesomenova]

I just moved to ATL in September and I literally agree with everything you said! The way you described Atlanta as being low-vibrational is spot on, it definitely has a negative energy about it. I have been trying to find more genuine kind people to hangout with in the city and it has been tough.

I was going to move down after obtaining my Master’s hoping to work for the CDC. I was blocked. When I went to visit a couple times after this I felt this vibe that said “This is not home.” I was happy that in that moment I realized rejection is God’s protection. It is a place with low vibe energy and I’m blessed that God protected me from that.

I was born and raised in Atlanta and I'll say this. Out of town transplants invaded Atlanta, moved here, polluted the culture, and brought their bad driving, and general ratchedness down here with them. There used to be southern hospitality and all that, but after waves of people from northern cities brought that cold, indifferent, off putting energy. The main people who complain about Atlanta aren't from Atlanta, and many of the complaints they have about Atlanta are a result of people moving here from other places.

Inflated cost of living... Population boom from transplants.

Bad driving... Usually a result of transplants from NY and Florida.

Traffic. Massive influx of transplants... See also:bad driving.
Hmmm. In her case, it sounds like she doesn't know how to navigate the city effectively. I know how to get around traffic using side streets and back roads... Ijs🤷🏿‍♂️

Materialistic people, fakers and scammers. Usually transplants from NY, LA, Florida, among other places

Standoffishness, hustle-till-I-die, don't-waste my time mentality... Transplants from northern cities like Detroit, Chicago, and NYC.

The parking racket... Yep, it's bad. But I don't deal with that when I go to downtown, midtown, etc. No boots, no tows, if I do pay to park it's usually in a deck, and it's not crazy expensive.

Bad vibes... Sure, it's the collective energy of transplants who fucked up the vibes for many of the reasons listed above.

Most of her other complaints and commentary are just part of living in a big city. I don't know where she came from in Indiana, but I don't know what she was expecting when she moved to Atlanta.

But I've been reading comments about cities like Charlotte and Houston and they are experiencing a lot of the same issues because of what? You guessed it... Transplants. Collectively they often create the problems they complain about.🤷🏿‍♂️

[jehoramisrael]

As a person who was born and raised in Georgia I can definitely say this video is on point!

[njaikenon]

Most of what you said is the truth. The spirit, vibration and energy is not a conspiracy. You are not alone.

[Jazzzzzy]

I lived here from 2017 to 2018 for a career opportunity and I hated it! I was in Sandy Spring/Marietta area. It’s self centered and hustle mentality. A lot of users there and a VERY black cloud over that state. No one was genuine nor true friendship. Out of the year I was there I made one ☝🏽 connection with someone and still talk to her this day. The hate was real and people love to see you fall so they could have something to talk about. The only reasons I’ll come to Atlanta is for food and shopping. A lot of witchcraft there too 🤦🏽‍♀️

[LimiLimi]

Girl! I’m from California and have been in Georgia for 2 years now. I say I’m “California Black, not Atlanta Black” because the lack of comradery amongst us is so real. This wasn’t the move, and when my nephew gets older, I’ll be moving.

[kaeshwe]

I'm not really sure what area you live in but I am a Georgia native and live approximately 30-45 (Depending on that traffic you're referring to...lol) minutes Northwest of Atlanta. You are 100% correct, it's a complete nightmare. The money you have to spend to have a night out for dinner is criminal. Try to visit some places outside the metropolitan area and go see some beautiful places if you can. If you can get away to do that maybe you'll meet some really good people that will show you some Southern hospitality and the charm wer'e known for. I truly hate that you aren't being treated with respect and are getting negative vibes from so many people. I think it's important that you are reading the energy of those low vibrational souls and I hope you are distancing yourself from those people. We're living in a time where it's essential to use discernment and follow your intuition. Growing up here I had so many friends and hardly ever had any worries but the world is a different place from when I was your age and my circle is so so small now but I know with certainty that I can trust and depend on them. Don't ever let anyone try to dim your light beautiful. Sometimes your light irritates their demons. You seem like a very intelligent young lady with a beautiful heart and the spiritual war is real and has been for a while so if you're feeling the low vibrations/frequencies it could be that you can feel you're being attacked. The devil doesn't attack lost souls, he goes after the ones that carry love and light. That means you are doing something right. Keep on being your beautiful self and you'll find some real friends. I'm sending love & light to you now. ❤

Everyone bashing Atlanta came here because they were looking for something they may have heard about or thought it was supposed to be. You need to think that other people before you did the same thing. The "atmosphere" has changed because so many people came down with some kind of preconceived notion. You blaming/bashing a city that's made up of people not from here with good and bad intentions. Hurricane Katrina brought a lot of people from New Orleans, and high costs brought a lot of people from New York, NJ, California, Florida, etc. And please tell me what city doesn't have bad traffic unless you have a population in the hundreds? Traffic wasn't as bad up until the early 2000s. All of a sudden, everybody was like I need to move to Atlanta, one because the home prices were low. Then, when the movie industry moved here, more people started to come because of that. Which in turn drove home prices up, led to the increase in traffic, brought good and bad "elements" to the city. Tell me, what was your reason for moving here? Also, what large populated city doesn't have the same issues? There are phony people everywhere, scammers everywhere, people pretending to be something they're not, everywhere. So to say I get a little irritated whenever someone comes here and bash the city, when if it were so great where they came from, they wouldn't have moved, is an understatement. I said what I said.

[gabriellehanks]

I'm from Indiana too and you couldn't pay me to move to Atlanta. Back in the late 90's when I got out of HS a lot of people from my hometown were moving to Atlanta because it was a popping up and coming city and touted as a Black mecca where all your dreams will come true. I thought about moving there but something told me not to. Glad I listened to my gut!

[He_is_derione]

She spoke nothing but the truth. Atlanta has lost its charm, now resembling a less appealing version of reality TV stereotypes with people lacking manners and decency. The sense of community and hospitality is nowhere to be found.

Moved to Atlanta in 1987 from Los Angeles. 4:12 into this video - She is right and spot on about people don't want to have anything to do with you if you do not have any value to offer them. Friendships are only contingent upon when they need something from you. I am having a hard time dealing with this. Regarding networking, you still have to be careful who you engage with because the perpetrators move in those spaces as well.

[alchemicalsoul]

Call me weird but I love Atlanta. I left Oakland for the Navy at 18. Was stationed in Jacksonville, FL for 6 years. I had driven up to ATL to visit in 2002, got orders and was stationed here for 5 years. They made me leave for New Orleans sadly. I moved to DFW to raise my son, and got back to ATL in 2022. You MUST have an industry you can thrive in. As anywhere in life, you need to love your work. You need to be self-sufficient meaning you don't HAVE to have a friend circle. You need to love nature, because there is plenty to do with all these mountains around here. I love house music and was one of a handful of female house djs back in the day. House scene is still poppin'. Rent is back to reasonable since pandemic. I know when to drive out with the least traffic. I take the backroads. I shop at Aldi. I cook at home. If you are not content within, you won't be content ANYWHERE.
A friend of mine was trying to get into film here, so she kept meeting all the fake people. I'm real, so I know how to suss out real people, but I mainly just keep.to myself. I enjoy my life, my hobbies, and the region. This is home for me. I would NEVER move back to Cali. Cost and culture make it so.

I lived in ATL for 20 years and it was the loneliest 20 years of my life. I think the word you're looking for is cliquish. If you're different, don't speak, sound or act like them, you won't fit in. The natives will know you're not from there by how you speak and they won't like you for that reason. The fake "wannabes" won't like you if you're not fake like them. I know what I experienced. It was hard to find a genuine friend. It lacks family values and will force you into partying or doing things you don't care about doing. A single woman looking for a real relationship will be very disappointed. I have sat in traffic for many, many hours as you said. Sometimes accidents, other times you have no idea why you've sat there so long. Definitely pros and cons as I loved the Arts and Theatre. You just have to have your mind clear and focused on the reason(s) you're moving there. Great video and I hope people really listen to what you're saying!

I'm from the midwest and lived in TX for 4 years. It was similar. My friend moved to TN and has similar complaints. Honestly, I think the south is a hard adjustment for midwesterners.
