Fairburn and UC is largely responsible for this city passing with their horrendous annexing practices. We need to completely change the way our cities operate in Georgia.

Yaaasssss!

This is the best option. I was being diplomatic in my suggestions above

South Fulton as a city really should not exist.

Yessir! A good Plan B.

Plan A: Disband South Fulton the city and have it absorbed by Atlanta, College Park, East Point, Union City, Fairburn, and Palmetto.

About zero percent.

The city shouldn't exist, but so long as it does, it should be called Campbellton, or Campbell, or Camp Creek.

Campbellton being the logical choice, but we how well logic does around here.

The correct answer.

Maybe give a little to Chattahoochee Hills as well.

When it goes bankrupt in a few years, decent chance.

I don’t care for the name either. Campbellton sounds good to me.

Why do you think that will happen? Seems like a quick Google search reveals the city is doing quite well financially having already paid off early a 12M loan to initially run the city and has successfully transitioned to providing essential services required by the state to their residents sooner than expected.

Illogical lines, a lot of undeveloped land and a deal to start the place that looked like a jobs program for the politically connected.
