The compelling argument is something Atlanta boosters can't talk about. How can you have a future if tax credit ends and hollywood sees no point of sticking around.

You're just guessing it's long term. It could be over in two years. Either way, it's a lousy bet.

OK, we heard you the first twenty times. I disagree but I'm not going to keep going around and around with you with the same rebuttals, so just let it go and move on.

You're not providing a reason. Louisiana just put a cap on their credits and you'll see effects.
Just like north Carolina and Maryland. There's proof on my side you just choose to ignore same thing for atlanta.

In the 1980's and early 1990's Orlando was poised to become "Hollywood East" with Universal Studios and Disney investing heavily in production facilities. Florida tax credits eventually evaporated and much of the production went elsewhere to more tax friendly/cheaper locations - N.C., Vancouver, etc.

Actually I did provide a reason but again, I'm not going to rehash the same points over and over. It's useless.

I had already made my argument.

Especially now with Silicon Beach? Its only going to get bigger.

ATL almost leading this poll makes it the funniest one I've seen on C-D in 2015. Go team The South.

It's hilarious. Their only/best asset is Tyler perry. What's gonna happen when people get tired of his stuff? He isn't James Cameron.

Team delusion.
