MARTA expansion is happening and the bright lights district is on the table (which isn't that important anyway). You willfully choose to ignore everything else positive. Stay salty bruv

On the bright side of things, we're up to about 34 daily flights to New York now. Makes it much easier to leave whenever you wish.

It will still be a few years to build out but the city did vote to fund this MARTA expansion (mostly building out a light rail system and improve bus servie) last November:

That's a really good fast-list roundup. I'd say rents and property prices have shot up rather fast.

In terms of how the city proper has changed, I like to think of Atlanta United as a microcosm of the entire city. Its growing, exciting, forward looking, diverse, and a near total departure from what has been the norm of the recent past.
