Oh I wish they would do this here in Philadelphia...
Please Please Please
I'm astounded that this is happening in Atlanta. I was under the impression that Atlanta's municipal government resembled that of Philadelphia or Detroit. This is awesome. It rocks. I'm also gobsmacked that such a favorable article appeared in the knee-jerk liberal Journal-Constitution -- and this is for sure a sympathetic article, one that mentions Atlanta's 3 percent unemployment rate (wow, another thing I didn't know) and features that mini-interview with the still-working 76-year-old Verna Mobley.
What I want to know is, who gets credit for this? Is it a federal initiative pushed by HUD, as the inclusion of Section 8 housing might indicate? Does the Georgia state government control the Atlanta Housing Authority? I want to know, because this is awesome.
