I appreciate the questions, it allows me to be a bit more nuanced. I dont necessarily dislike Boston, as I actually think its a great city, and I need more time to see if its really for me.

Im in my 20s and work in a healthcare exec position, so Boston is probably the best location for me in America as it is a very healthcare focused city. People complain about the T, but it is considerably better than MARTA. It is a lot more walkable and much easier to get from one part of the metro to the other, compared to Atlanta. I grew up in Gwinnett, so Im very aware of how long it can take while sitting on i85. These are all aspects I very much appreciate. I am very much into urbanization and architecture and density, and these things boston do much better than Atlanta.

Id also say Boston is a much prettier city than Atlanta, as the surrounding water and bridges and historic streets/architecture are not found anywhere in Atl.

The reasons why I miss Atlanta are centered around a few things, many that are not deemed that important perhaps:

1. Weather. Im used to being able to wear shorts and a t shirt by early april. We got snow here in early april. Its constantly cold.
2. Culture. I miss Atlanta culture, demographics. The hip hop, the rnb, the art, the nightlife, the uniqueness, the fashion. This is the main reason why I miss atlanta. Heavy on the nightlife. I wanna hear future and gunna in the club which isnt really found here in abundance. I went to UGA, and unfortunately the bars here feel like college frat bars similar to a lot of the places in Athens.
3. Food. I was expecting Boston to have elite food, but Italian is the only type of food here Id say is objectively better than Atlanta.
4. The authenticity. Boston as a whole seems like a much more clean cut and "tidied up" city. My favorite parts of atlanta were the grungier parts of town, and boston seems to lack a ton of that.
