Why is ATL considered LCOL?!?! Makes no sense. I know it’s labor not cost of living but why is it low ?

Atlanta used to be fairly cheap compared to similar sized cities elsewhere. But housing has gotten much more expensive in the past decade or so, and it's not nearly the bargain it used to be.

Most of the companies on FB don’t generally hire people in places that are actually are LCOL, so cities like Atlanta are just LCOL compared to other HCOL cities.

It’s very frustrating to see cities like Boston, DC, Chicago considered MCOL when they are among the most expensive places in the U.S.

I don’t disagree on some level, but more making the point these are major metros no matter how you slice it. Chicago isn’t Topeka or Boise.

Because the cost of labor is lower

Sometimes it's a supply vs demand thing. If there are a lot of people with appropriate skills for the businesses in the area, cost of labor goes down. If there's scarce talent, cost of labor goes up. I don't know how that's evolving with remote work.

mcchickens are still around 1 buck there, portland has it for 2 something and sf almost 3. switch locations on mcd app and its kinda interesting to see the prices of different places

Most importantly, never eat the McChicken
