I just moved to Atlanta from Southern California. One by one my family had made the move and after we realized we could never afford a house in CA we moved as well. I've been here 8 or 9 months, it's pretty nice. I kept my CA job and just work from home.
I'm about 30 minutes away from Atlanta in a suburb called Lawrenceville. The roads suck for cycling (narrow, pot holes, road kill) but the people are very nice. Almost everyone goes into the other lane to pass. It wasn't until just last month that I finally had someone yell "get on the sidewalk". Of course, there are no sidewalks here.
