So for the past couple of weeks I have had to drive throughout Atlanta to parts I never really go to often in for business. I always knew Atlanta was beautiful but being forced to drive into unfamiliar areas has been exciting. So many rolling hills and curvy roads everywhere. So much available land especially on the southside. So many beautiful and cheap homes. Its funny seeing al the available land here and then seeing idiots talking about blacks are being forced out of Atlanta. Gtfoh lol. Its so much available land south of 20. Gentrification is mostly when the area is extremely dangerous and a change is needed (Little Vietnam, Grady Homes, East Lake Meadows, etc) or when there is almost no available land available. Its soooooo much available land here. But back to my original statement. Try driving in random areas sometime and you will see what im talking about. Atlanta can easily fit another 20 million people easily.

That's an interesting perspective.
I agree that we could fit more people housing wise, but not infrastructure wise.

Especially with the trees not in bloom you can see everything. I don't understand it either, I have been in Atlanta for only 9 months and after listening to people on here I decided to explore. I came off 285 south at Cascade made a left drove all the way down(saw some beautiful homes) to Turner field and then drove downtown thru five points all I was African Americans. Everyone told me next time turn right on Cascade off 258 and then you will really see something. So my question is why do some on here act as though these areas in Atlanta don't count.

Atlanta has yet to hit 6 million and I don't think the water issue has been resolved yet.

Man, a 26 million person Atlanta? That'd be something to see (from afar)!

Agree. If that ever happens, I will not be here to "enjoy" it. Retirement in the south of France sounds better and better...

I've never understood from where the Darlington derives its' numbers. They've always been well in excess of other measurements that I've seen.
