+1 for epill and everyone for their advise. We pretty much came to the same conclusion earlier. It's always the allure of the familiar that draws one back when things get tough.
So here's to NY!
*tips hats to all with responses*

Dubai...Michael needs company.
But can't you find all those qualities of ATL in a nicer setting, like Long Island or Westchester? Hell, you could even move to CT and still get to the city quickly. The edumacation system is much better up there.

I think you need to ask yourself if you are ready to retire. That's what you'll be doing.
Are you trade all of NY and it's surrounding areas for cheaper housing?
Atlanta has some new building but it's devoid of culture, no decent studios, and any sort of payment for services/salary will be 20% lower. If you not central expect to be part the daily traffic jam as well.
California would be an all around better choice. Minus LA.

for the record, atlanta is not safer than the nyc metro area. quite the contrary, its crime rate is much higher. the cost of living is cheaper in terms of housing, but you gain that at the expense of everything else, including culture, community, career opportunities, mass transit, etc.
choose carefully.

Def NYC. ( I just moved from Savannah, about 3.5 hours from atlanta.) Ever considered Conneticut?

i don't know, but you have a baby girl. if i have a kid, i would probably move out of the city. having a kid here is really expensive. also education... sending her to a good school, etc, it's not easy. also, if i have a kid, i want him to be able to play outside without having have to worry about getting hit by a crazy cab driver.
maybe jersey, maybe long island. but atlanta doesn't sound that much safer. i mean, new york is pretty safe.

kyl3, it has been a while since I've lived there, so maybe times have changed, but my infrequent trips to visit family justmakes me glad I left.

Oh and I gotta say again, you all rock. Great opinions and advise. We looked around and you all are right, Atl ranks on the top 5 of the most dangerous cities...damn! http://www.morganquitno.com/cit0…
We're going to get the zipcar and drive up to CT and see what its like.
Thanks all!
