is your smoking gun here that buying trains from a train company makes the train company money? Is that all you losers have? Shameful.

I was trying to see how Invest Atlanta voted, and the stupid f#cking AI summary shows a transparently false summation. ONE neighborhood group (Grant Park) voted against the project, but TWO (SAND and NPU-W) supported the project.

lmao “Better Atlanta Transit” thinks it’s “channeling billions to mega corps” when you buy trains from a company that sells trains and has sold us trains in the past. It’s the most obviously astroturfed, bad faith people here.

The ATL Spoke experiment with self-driving buses on the Beltline ... did not go well, financially. It's cheaper to rent a car for a day for every single rider on the service than it is to put them on the bus. Not an Uber or Lift ride - like go to Enterprise and get them a car, and drive it to them.

I went back to South Downtown after the World Cup, and I have hope. I went back to the CNN “CTR” with its sad little generic food hall and 9 HUNDRED THOUSAND square feet of unleased office space, and couldn’t help but remember this classic from the 90’s:

Important #GApol info here. Despite $$Bn spent on water-sewer in the past 2 decades, Atlanta needs far more. Implication: instead of diverting another 20 yrs of TAD taxes to Stitch boondoggles, City should end TADs & use $$$ to fix pipes. atlpresscollective.indiegraf.com/index.php?ac...

“To even consider extending any of the six TADs in the midst of a budget shortfall and school closures is a complete betrayal to the children and families the board was elected to serve.” If Atlanta Public Schools board extends TADs, future funding will be at risk www.ajc.com/opinion/2026...

If Atlanta Public Schools board extends TADs, future funding will be at risk

Atlanta Public Schools board of education should not vote to extend Tax Allocation Districts, which will divert funding away from future generations of students.

Every time I hear people suggest that Atlanta should expand its city limits into more suburbs, I think about how our current batch of politicians living in annexed suburbs have corroded the walkable city core. You really want 10 more Dickens, Overstreets, and Norwoods on city council?

The local private neighborhood Facebook page caught wind of this campaign to predictable snarls. One commenter objected to the characterization of opponents as “wealthy white single family homeowners” which is a heckuva Freudian slip considering the write-up never uses the word “white”.

#GApol Wingate is not a bad actor. I had them sit at the Invest Atlanta board table to talk through their plan on Boulevard in O4W. Seemed worth giving them a shot - and so it turned out. The bond they want is simply low-interest $$$ because the feds don't tax it. Costs Atlanta nothing. Pls sign.

With the massive grade change here at Ormewood and BeltLine Streets, the new apartments at Trestletree could be 5 stories tall and be too short. It would take 10 stories just to get the same “feel” as the fully built out east sides of BeltLine.

This is the ideal street in a neighborhood zoned exclusively for single family houses. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. ✅ cheap cost matches minimal tax revenue ✅ slows cars enough to safely share space w/ foot & bike traffic ✅ no space wasted on private car storage
