As someone who spent a good amount of time in those places, no way I would live in Atlanta, especially as an Asian.

anyone who is Asian should live in Houston instead, we are everywhere all over the city and everyone's mixed here. vietnamese is 3rd most spoken language

Atlanta, don’t come here. We are full.

Okay Taylor, where’d you come from? Go back there too. I’m like Drake, no new friends.

I have lived in Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta.

Quick run down if you are choosing between Dallas or Atlanta. Atlanta is better if you are outdoorsy, Dallas is better if you like city life and it has better traffic (Atlanta is horrible). Atlanta is more diverse imo, but I think Dallas has better food. I live in Dallas now and would live in Atlanta if it wasn’t for the traffic, but both great places to live.

You also get sunshine all year unlike Chicago and other than 3 months weather is much better

Hahahaha, lots of very large pockets of Indians in dallas. Mainly Las Colonas/Irving/Coppell

Lived in all 3 and as an Atlanta native, I’d say go with Dallas. Atlanta is great tbh but like everyone said, traffic and crime is getting worse and worse. More bang for your buck in Dallas and many different pockets with different vibes. It also doesn’t take as much time to travel to the diff pockets as it does in ATL — shit in atl is so far apart. Gluck!
