As for the people displaced, they will move out to the suburbs and more rural areas--the same places which used to be too exclusive and expensive for them in the past. This has actually been happening for some time.

Meanwhile, as high earners leave suburbs to return to the now safer city with more amenities, we could see suburbs decline a bit.

Cost will always be a factor though.

Interesting how this second quoted post just ignores the people who can’t afford gentrification. You realize most people here can’t afford a 400k+ home and they will have go to the burbs right?

Most commuting in the ATL is suburb to suburb, rather than suburb to central city.

So living in the city may or may not be an advantage with respect to traffic. It may be more convenient for some but for many it would result in a longer commute.

There's a lot of truth in that. We have some fantastic neighborhoods both in our suburbs and within the city limits.

The city core is the most job dense area in the region, so it really doesn't matter if "most" folks would not see and traffic advantage from living close to it, it only matters that a *whole lot* of folks would see a huge traffic advantage from living close to the city core, and that *whole lot* of folks is more than the city core is currently set up for.

When you are talking about commute times to the city core, these statistics are not very descriptive. Suppose 20% of the Metro’s workers work in the city core, and only 10% of Metro’s workers live a reasonable commute away from the city core—that leaves 10% of the Metro’s workers with lousy commutes to the Atlanta core every day— spread throughout all the metro counties. That 10% may not seem like a lot, but when taken as a fraction of the millions of metro workers it is very significant—significant enough to make ITP housing prices go nuts, and significant enough that demand will not be going down any time soon.

It won’t matter if most people can’t afford to live there anyway. Lol.

Basically this. I wonder if some people ever leave the east-side or top-end of the ITP because it’s going to take way more than 10 years unless we land Amazon HQ2.

Who will be forcing these people out to the suburbs? The Gestapo? There are plenty of homes in the CoA that are under 400k. What you really mean is people won't be able to live in hot exciting trendy neighborhoods which there is nothing wrong with. It isn't a right to live in any neighborhood.
