Actually depends where you are in Oakland, Ca. The range is from the old
ghetto area, which has a lot of really nice victorians if they were fixed
up, to the Oakland Hills, where a tear down small nice house on a big lot
will go for the $1,000,000+ price. And if it is a nice non teardown size
house the price can be $2,000,000+! How many $2mm+ houses in Atlanta?

Homes in Oakland, CA go for two or three times that. It is a crime
ridden hole, and is rife with homelessness, unemployment, murder, gang
activity, etc. So, to say that real estate prices define Nirvana, is
absurd.

Again for Fritz, Atlanta is a top ten city. Naples, FL isn't even
listed.
Forbes? Atlanta is #5. Naples, FL 53!

Ha! Atlanta *is* the definition of a crime ridden hell-hole. If you
compare it to Naples at www.bestplaces.com , Atlanta has 10 times the
crime
rate that Naples has.

Atlanta is a good place to visit, or to be *from*. That's it.
