The only real comparisons between the two cities are urban sprawl with alot of traffic, in which LA has much more of both. I've lived in Atlanta, but have only visited LA a few times, so I can only give a superficial account of the lifestyle there.
Atlanta- forested with a four season climate and normally plentiful rainfall, low cost of living, an enormous hub airport with convenient flight distances to other cities, argueably the R&B-Rap music capital of the world; ATL is a very up and coming city with classy, modern new developments in hip areas such as Midtown and Buckhead. Residential developments range from high rise condos to quaint cozy neighborhoods to massive subdvisions. Rent usually starts at $750 for a1 bedroom apt in a nice complex; you can find a 3br 2ba house new construction starting in the 170k's. Many people there are laid back and easy to befriend.
LA- beaches, mountains, consistently sunny mild weather year around, Hollywood, Orange County, Disneyland, Malibu; undisputedly the motion picture and music recording industry capital of the world. Infamously high cost of living and from first hand experience... OMG the traffic!
This may be TMI (too much info), your question is very vague.
LA is in the same class as a New York, San Francisco or Chicago; in which they are so unique as to be incomparable to anyplace else.

well, you couldn't have picked two more different cities!!!! Los Angeles is just So so big.... I personally don't like it there much. I'm originally from SF, lived in Las Vegas and travelled to LA occasionally. Of course, I have relatives who love it there and have lived their whole lives there. Now I live near Nashville, TN so am fairly close to Atlanta. I like Atlanta- it's a big city, but not too big, has tons of things to do, it's a beautiful area, the weather isn't bad (except a tad humid in the summer). I would tell you to pick Nashville- it's better than ALL of them! I've been here for 6 1/2 years and LOVE it!

Atlanta. The cost of living is cheaper, the smog isn't as bad (but probably close to LA's), the traffic is slightly better (again it is ranked #2, LA is ranked #1 for worst traffic congestion). I think the people in Atlanta are probably a little less superficial than the ones in LA. I moved here from New England and I think I'd rather live in Atlanta versus LA.
