Is migration to exurbs real

This prevents a unification of our population, and the State is to blame. Trash is not picked up on I-20 West, and no GDOT maintenance occurs along Jimmy Carter of here near Dekalb Peachtree Airport which is Latino-populated.

On Jimmy Carter East of I-85, there is little indication that you're even in the United States much less any Georgia-specific infrastructure that's easily identified.

This practice of spending only in certain areas and neglecting others evident throughout the metro area.

But at the same time, Buckhead's priciest zip codes have horrendous streets too, and no one in either area complains or seems to care.

These guidance signs are so old that the shields are the old-timey design. You can spot signs in Atllanta that are so old that they have button-copy reflectors following the letters to be visible at night.

A lot of sprucing up needs to be done.

Those are all really good points about how metro Atlanta government bodies (from the state level down to the municipal level) do not always pay attention to the aesthetics of public right-of-ways.

Though, it probably should be noted that Jimmy Carter Boulevard is only a state-owned and maintained right-of-way from its interchange with I-85 westward.

East of its interchange with I-85, Jimmy Carter Boulevard is owned and maintained by Gwinnett County government.
