NY Sun profiles the 40,000 New Yorkers who’ve moved to Atlanta. Things they bitch about include but are not limited to: Southern accents, lack of pizza, slow speech and movement, cars. Things they rightfully praise: affordable housing. This isn’t a joke. The houses in Atlanta are huge. They all have seven bedrooms, two wings, a basement, an attic, a pool, and a giant trampoline in the backyard.

Funny.
