Real talk about sprawl (Atlanta, Marietta: find a job, zoned, prices)

[cqholt]

Cause criminals live in your neighborhood too.
I will enjoy living intown and showing my kids how hardwork pays off.
Your more likely to die in a car crash than murdered in Atlanta so bless your heart.
Sprawl is a real issue. If you don't think it needs to be controlled then your plain crazy. We are destroying our natural areas for blank, cookie cutter subdivisions and strip malls .

Probably- just not in the same quantity as in yours.

How does living intown translate to "hardwork paying off"? That's a pretty bizarre statement.

No need to "bless my heart"- what are you- an 85-year-old grandmother now??

I guess I'm just nuts then, what can I say?

Gotta run- gotta get in my car and head over to McDonalds, and then maybe run past Walmart......

Nope just a polite way of telling you to go procreate with yourself. Just saying sprawl has contributed to environmental degradation.

Yes, because that's all people who live outside the perimeter do. We eat fast food and then shop at bargain retail stores. It's great that inner cities and other urban areas don't have McDonalds or KFC or other fast foods, and they certainly would never entertain an evil Walmart. Of course we all know that every restaurant that is built inside the perimeter must conform to the "locally owned private restaurant that serves fresh, healthy, and locally produced foods" requirement. It's great to see the poor of Atlanta eating soy grown on Georgia farms.

What's funny is that the stereotype you seem to believe about suburbia is actually more true for the poor and inner city folks. Ever notice who McDonald's is targeting with their advertising, and where their billboard advertising is located? I don't think "I'm lovin' it" was targeted at soccer moms. Just sayin.

So targeting black people means they are targeting poor people?

But McDonald's is right here in town, so that makes it local.
