If you could change one thing about Atlanta, what would it be? (neighborhoods, gated)

If you had the power to change one thing about the city of Atlanta, what would it be?

It would be the transit system.

Agree completely. Atlanta MSA's traffic is getting worse and worse everyday since there are so many people move in. We need transit system fast.

Honestly, as much as I complain about how suburban Atlanta is and how bad the transit system is, the one thing I would change is the weather. I know others disagree, but I would make it colder. We need some snow!

Glad to have all the Newcomers but--'Please Slow Down'.

I generally don't like to 'Point Fingers' but repeatedly I notice that those from other states are lead footed.

We do not have enough $$ in any metro county/city to fund the size of LE forces that it would really take to keep the roads safe. Every tragic accident requires the services of fire/paramedics/LE--so that is one way that money is being 'Wasted'.

Just slow down.

Things seem to happen slowly around here--so many opinions yadayadayada.

No need to spend whatever time we have on this planet foolishly. jmo.

Getting rid of all they Yankee liberals who move down here. They come down here for a better cost of living, better way of life. Then call everyone who votes differently than them, 'dumb', undeducated. They call everyone racist, rednecks, slow thinkers, slow talkers, etc. I take offense everytime I see someone say something like this.

Seems to me we've been doing things pretty well, for a long time, to be such an attractive area to move to.

I'd change the ease with which we segregate our neighborhoods and communities. Much, if not most of our current traffic and transit problems stem from our segregated housing patterns and the desire to keep them that way. I know I couldn't change hearts and minds, but I could change the actions that people take.

I guess that it true in some areas. Haven't thought about Yankees much since the '96 Games.

I'm glad for anyone who wants to to move here--just please don't run over me...

Some very mean drivers in my area--whatever there poltical leanings.

LOL--on another board we were chatting about the Liberality of Atlanta. It is such a corporate city that I really don't notice much Liberality. Atlanta has its own 'culture'. Established as a center of commerce and that is just what the priority is here. Much good and much that needs to improve and rather quickly, too.

Now I will change my vote and say that all the 'Quarreling' futile arguing is what I most want to change.

I'd move it 500 miles north so I could visit my family in Minnesota a little more often. :-)

They desperately need a commuter rail line. But as history has shown, people ignore the obvious until it is too late.
