A loud minority should not control an entire neighborhood. Which committee needs a chair?

I agree, but Grant Park is NIMBY AF.

Probably not, you know there's no coordination.

Multifamily projects like this, 1/2 mile from a MARTA station we need more of.

Is Mayor Dickens’ housing policy built on a strong foundation? The city’s housing model has drawn praise, but there are questions about whether it reaches those who need it most.

"Compared with Dickens’ predecessor...there was about a 20% to 40% increase in affordable housing development...according to...Dan Immergluck

Even with that uptick the mayor’s wins are β€œoverhyped,” Immergluck said...the city is not producing enough housing to even run in place."

How would @roby.bsky.social fix Atlanta?

ATL is a growing city. Unfortunately, our outdated patterns of growth are leading us to disaster.

If we don’tΒ reform our transportation and housing practices quickly, life will get worse for everyone.

Some people have 0 respect for their city and transit system. Same reason why chicken wing bones are found on the ground all over the city. While we may laugh at it, it's disrespectful.

"Neighborhood Character" the same coded language NIMBYs use when they don't want multifamily in their community.

It's a shame to see so many so-called "progressive" CMs from the last election endorsing the status quo. I left a couple of those ballots blank because there were no opponents.

As major hurricane #Melissa passes over #Jamaica - moving painfully slow - it will dump biblical rainfall on the island, super-charged by both the rugged mountains and coincidentally the hottest water in all the Carbbean right now (88-89F) focused specifically around the island… 1/

It should be put to a referendum. Residents are asked to approve referendums for transportation, MOST, E-SPLOST.

Atlanta’s $5.5B Question: Should the City Extend Its TADs? β€” Center for Civic Innovation Atlanta City Council is considering legislation to extend the city’s eight tax allocation districts through 2055, a move that could redirect billions in property tax revenue to fund Mayor Andre Dicken...

β€œThe City has confirmed that the baselines for the TAD will not be updated if they are extended.” From this excellent explainer from CCI
