Man, I have so many questions for you but I fear they will be read as accusatory instead of me trying to understand the mindset but...here it goes?
Do Developers in ATL think the train will just go on forever? Are there fears people will stop moving there due to the inept City Govt, depressing traffic, weak public schools, etc.? How many empty condos and mixed retail are there before there is a slowdown?
I fully recognize ATL has many things in its favor such as logistics, climate, cost of living in relation to Chicago/NYC/LA, but at what point is it too much? I see the sheer amount of people each time I am in town and I just fail to see the appeal, but I was raised there from 2nd grade thru high school and then back for 8 yrs out of UGA so I have seen the progression of a 'big city of 1.5 million to what it is now.
