At first, I told it the ocean was important, and I wanted clean air. Somehow, it picked atlanta first. When I switched those two, it put chicago first, then atlanta and dc. Heh. It needs intermediate options other “matters, doesn’t matter”, and a relative importance ranking. Maybe even an “I like living with roommates and want to own a house eventually, so that I can have lots of roommies” option.

2 of the choices have an awfully warm climate for my tastes, but otherwise it did okay.

Sounds like you fiddled with the quiz to get a desired outcome. 🙂
Partially true. But as I was taking the quiz the first time, I was objecting internally. “I want to be near a large body of water, but it doesn’t need to be an ocean. A great lake will do.” “I like air quality, but air quality isn’t nearly as important as social quality.” “I like roommates, they seem to think that no sensible person wants to share their living space.” etc, etc. In short, crappy quiz. =)
Though I may still check out Atlanta, to see what all the fuss is about… in the late fall. Or winter. =)
I tend to have a fairly negative impression of it, mostly due to its geographic location (and the politics of the region). On the other hand, I’ve heard nothing but praise from people who have actually lived there. Dunno.
In case you or any of your friends think that Atlanta is an ok place to live….well, think again. Don’t want/have a car? Forget being able to get anywhere. This city is truly disappointing in every way.
I thought you might have something to say about it 😉
I did say public transit was important in my little selector, and that I was looking in the midwest. I suspect that their standard for ‘good for transit people’ was ‘has some railed transit system’.
Bah I didn’t like it that much … I had to keep jiggering with it to get the results I wanted.
60% being Atlanta – I don’t THINK so!
Yeah, I’m half wondering if this is a project that’s secretly funded by the Atlanta tourist board or something. =)
