Atlanta's major drawback, according to Places Rated, is its crime problem-it has a murder rate "that is twice the national average for metro areas." The Washington, D.C.Maryland-Virginia area scores second in all-round desirability, though it, too, suffers from a high crime rate. Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point, N.C., is the third most livable area, largely because...
