Not from what I've observed with Atlanta having been involved deeply in the Atlanta community for a number of years while also being involved in other communities. But everyone is welcome to have their own opinion.

That person obviously has no idea what they are talking about.

Both myself and others who have been involved in the community share this sentiment. Straight up if you have a startup and want to get funding, getting funding in Atlanta will mean a less favorable term sheet and not as many connections to help you grow your startup.

Well if I'm playing the devil's advocate, I'd say you're one to talk with a green username.
