Default my favorite city in the world

Blacks run Atlanta, and they do a fairly good job. They have good cops and pretty good mayors. It has its problems and a few shabby areas, but in the end Atlanta is my favorite city in the world. 2003-2006 I lived downtown. I was born there, graduated from university there, and learned to fly there. It is a dynamic, colorful, thriving city with the largest airport in the world. The weather is great and there is lots of money. The areas around the airport are poor but what modern town doesn't have a bad area or two. Some of the most decent people in Atlanta are from the poorer areas. You just get a good door lock and drive an old used car if you must live in one of them. Racism has no place in Atlanta (or anywhere) and anyone who has lived there knows better. People are moving to Atlanta by the millions since the 1970s, and the reason is it such a great place. The more upscale areas are ok if you like high rent, but it's not an issue of crime rate or quality of life to live in them.
