People from Atlanta really love to gatekeep the city, though. You live ITP? You live in Atlanta. OTP? You live in some redneck shithole whose name isn’t worth remembering.
It’s a distinction that matters. The fact that the City of Atlanta only makes up 1/10 of Metro Atlanta (by population) and that the rest of the metro is Balkanized into dozens of different jurisdictions is a substantial cause of a lot of the fragmented city planning and other related problems we have around here.
when people say Atlanta to people that don’t live in the surrounding area they really mean the greater metro Atlanta area.
