all the suburban governments have a done great making sure they build dense, walkable developments.
Fuqua found a loophole because the beltline overlay zoning was never made law. The city didn't want to get sued. I am upset about this decision too, but don't act like Cobb or gwinett counties have prevented big box development as well.

I'm not seeing much support for LaVista Hills in the meetings or in the surveys. If the vote was today it would be to stay unincorporated.

Well, getting sued isn't the end of the world. Sometimes you have to take a stand and let the courts sort it out. At Lindbergh it's my understanding the city decided to change the zoning to allow big box. In Grant park I don't why they hadn't updated the zoning.

I hope that's not true.

No, the opposite is true. The NPU is getting their way.

Good to know. Any new development that occurs by Lindbergh wouldn't be suitable for the big box-esque type.

Is this UN Agenda 21? Please go to You tube and look up Rosie Korie who is an expert on UN Agenda 21 "smart growth" "Sustainability" "Open space growth" which is nothing more than Globalist foreign interest dictating to N.W.O. DC how to cram people into small areas whereas in the US, whereas the likes of Ted Turner, Bill Gates and the uber rich in general can and do buy thousand of acres of land as opposed to leaving those "Open spaces" for public use.
Please educate yourself on UN Agenda 21 aka smart growth which is nothing more than a land grab by the uber rich.

Also under UN Agenda 21 "Open spaces" are " Federal government owned" as opposed to State/People owned and as we have seen the Feds keep people out of areas under the threat of gun in the name of secret and security which in reality is not supposed to be secret nor is it in the best interest of the American people. Like the huge NSA complex in Utah, how is data mining the whole world/USA the best interest of everyone? it isn't it is "hyper control freaks" of uber rich which now is one and the same as our supposed "elected" official.
