In a move that bites the hand that feeds it, Atlanta recommends moving to abolish the suburbs ahead of the Biden administration requiring the city to do so. Buckhead is not what is traditionally considered a suburb. Residents there provide about 20% of the city’s budget, and their children attend Atlanta Public Schools. However, it is an area of the city primarily made up of neighborhoods with single-family homes.
Atlanta would like to change that. According to the Saporta Report, single-family zoning comprises 63% of Atlanta’s land area. In 2018, Mayor Bottoms said her vision was One Atlanta, a more “affordable, resilient and equitable city.” The Atlanta City Housing Design report operationalized this vision. Unfortunately, the recommendations buried in the text use the city’s policies from 1929 as a model to increase population density. (Yet, the proponents of these policies call themselves progressive.)

Liberals need to learn the hard way.
When a local shopping center needed freshening up, the owner sold it to a charlatan who was then sued by two counties for fraud, went bankrupt and left the place to rot. New owner finally razed it and built apartments and condominiums on the site.
A man who had lived in Poland in the 1960s-70s said the Communist housing style was just like these: nondescript, gray, cinderblock and utilitarian windows, all the same in long rows.
Our Marxist American future, I think.
They don’t have to seize the land, just rezone it away from single-family homes to more apartments. Of course developers would have to include apartments for low-income to get their plans approved. Ah diversity!
Communists on the march...
Who’s to stop them?
No one, so far...
Probably never...
What used to be Milton county provides even more taxes for ATL/ Fulton county. Have the gutless GA gop help them separate? Nope. GA gop is the worst.
I remember hearing cities in Fulton County leaving the city of Atlanta because it was so mismanaged. The people in north Fulton were paying the most taxes, and they were going to south Fulton.
I think it was Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton?
I would not be surprised if Buckhead does the same move.
Goody. Apartment blocks that remind people of the HUD building in Downtown DC.

And they already filed for “divorce” from Atlanta, because they want their own police force.
Wealthy Atlanta suburb of Buckhead files ‘divorce papers’ to split from the city and create its own police force after jogger was shot amid skyrocketing crime rates

Interesting how things change. Fulton County is shaped like three counties - which is essentially what it is. North Fulton was once Milton County, seated in Alpharetta, and South Fulton used to be Campbell County with its seat in Fairburn. Both counties were rural, poor and facing bankruptcy when they were folded into much wealthier Fulton County in 1931. What a difference 90 years has brought.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Diversity is our strength:

#8. Remember the fiasco of the Igloo Pruitt housing projects, I think in St. Louis. The same for the crime-ridden Murphy projects in Baltimore.
They all went “boom” and their residents were happy to have gotten out of jail.
"Ein Volk--Ein Reich--Ein Fuhrer..."
Yes, the Dims like their districts crammed with folks. Those who love power and love wielding it love great population density.
See how the suburban anti-Trump women like their new mandatory recycled burlap underwear. Chafing I’m sure.
