Where is the best area for Democrats to live in Georgia

Where is the best area for Democrats to live in Georgia?
I am thinking of relocating in the next year or two to Georgia to be closer to my mother, who lives near Atlanta. I am currently a very active member of the Democratic party and would like to remain so, and would like to know if there are certain areas around Atlanta that have a higher democratic population than others. Anyone have an idea?

Liberal Democrats are not welcome in the South.

Tommy probably moved from the midwest or a northern place and thinks it is all right to be crude. Still, Georgia is very politically conservative. If you are A-A, go to directly to Atlanta or any suburban area where the great majority of black citizens are Democrats and the party is alive and well. If you are white (or anything else), Atlanta -- city of, not burbs -- may be your best choice if you don't mind constant traffic hassels, a higher cost of living, and some few people to share your political interests. If you can keep your political conversation in check, smaller, nicer places are Macon, Augusta, Gainesville.

Athens would also be a good option. It is home of a large university, so the people are going to be more educated and open-minded.
4 :
Living in 'intown' or ITP (in the perimeter) Atlanta would be your best choice, but mind you, what area does your mother live? If you live in the wrong direction, you could be in some serious traffic. Just like any city, most Democratic-minded persons live in urban areas. I'm not sure of the reason, but my assumption would be the greater diversity of not just the people but activities. I think you would like Inman Park, Midtown, and/or Virginia Highland area.

I have never heard of anyone wanting to choose a place to live based on party affiliation, BUT, my suggestion to you would be to live in the metro. Atlanta area simply because there is more diversity of mind here. I think Democrats are usually more liberal-minded and many other parts of GA (rural & small town) are traditionally conservative. I've lived in the metro ATL area for 10 years now and love it!
6 :
I wouldn't do that... but if you must.. ATL and athens.... they are different democrats than blue state dems... don't do macon or gainesville as someone sudgested they are absoulte holes. If you just want to go south then I'd recomend NC... they are the most progressive state in the south.

I've lived and worked in Vinings(in Atlanta) for a couple of years and have never had even a small problem with safety, and its incredibly close and convenient to everything. Dunwoody is also very nice and I think its safe, also very convenient to everything you'd want to do.
2 :
Butler/Macon. It's really nice and home town feel but still has places. Or Warner Robins is a bit busier but still nice
3 :
St Simons Island, GA It's safe. Neither you nor I can afford to live there. I live in the burbs of Atlanta I live in Woodstock. I don't want to be offensive but...in GA you want to stay away from areas that have high Hispanic or African American Areas (Sorry)! Vinings as someone else said is nice. As a single, that would be a great place to live. As a family, you may go further my way. As for other places in GA. If your not in Atlanta - YOU'RE CAMPING! Come to the Peach State!
4 :
Personally, I like Blue Ridge. It is 2 hours north of Atlanta. There are not many jobs in the area, but it is a wonderful small town to live in. Macon is also a great place. It is about and hour and a half from Atlanta.
5 :
Marietta, Roswell, Atlanta, Lawrenceville, Augusta, Valdosta, Tifton. All these places are safe. (Except for parts of Atlanta obviously).
6 :
Anywhere in Cobb county is very nice. It's a really up and coming city and very close to downtown if you work there. I also like Buford in Gwinnett County. The schools are excellent, the mall of Georgia is there and everything is so nice and new. If you like more of a country atmosphere Walton County is good but kind of far from the city.
7 :
Do want country, city or suburb life? East Cobb County is fantastic area, great school system and good commute time to ATL Try the Blue Ridge Mountains area in North GA area. Towns like Dawsonville, Elijay, Dahlonega, and Helen. Beautiful safe area; but hard to find good paying jobs without a long commute (like into ATL or other larger city nearby). Not sure where you are considering moving from; but be pre-pared for HOT humid weather!
8 :
I agree with tmh. Blue Ridge, or any of the small towns in the mountains are ideal to me...
9 :
Kennesaw! Pretty much anywhere in Cobb County..

What's the legal age to leave your house if you live in georgia

What's the legal age to leave your house if you live in georgia?
Okay, so my girlfriend is 14 and her mom and step dad fight all the time and he threatens them and it's really not good. She wants to move in with me but her mom doesn't want her too even though my family would agree to let her live here. Is there anything I can do?

No, there's nothing you can do. The legal age to leave home is 18, unless the parents / legal guardians get involved and agree, through the court, that she can live with you.
