No I get that.As far as jobs go there are better ones that dont have such a negative impact on roads and take up so much space but in absence of anything else ,these jobs are good.I guess im just saying as an industry,its major impact on the economy of the area.
My cousin makes very good money working in logistics as he works at a company with its headquarters there.He has a white collar job in a blue collar industry.
So what are the major economic engines of South Dallas?Any major attractions,universities,etc?
Lockheed has a division headquarters in Grand Prairie, which is in South Dallas area. The sports stadiums/entertainment complex in Arlington I'd imagine.
The land for Pinewood Forest was purchased during the great recession and like many developments around the metro area, stalled due to lending, demand, and other factors. The owner actually tried to sell it to investors / banks and couldn't so it remained vacant until they were able to obtain the financing to build what you see now which happened within the last three years.
If you Google map Sandy Creek Rd in Fayetteville, it will show you an un-updated 2016 image of what that area was, literally nothing there. Between 17 and 18 foundations started appearing with along with the round abouts you see on Sandy Creek Rd where eventually slabs and construction took place.
If Pinewood Forest had developed in N.Atlanta metro rather than S.Atlanta metro, it would have exploded much sooner as it would not have been solely reliant on the affluent filming population but the mass affluent population in N.Metro Atlanta. I do get that it was intended for the filming studios but it would have been much easier to obtain financing as it would have more access to affluent clientele (which they are currently doing anyway right now) than just filming. The one advantage it's current location does give it however is easier access to the Airport than you get in N.Metro Atlanta.
As for logistics, I'm well aware. My father is a truck driver based in Atlanta. There are plenty of logistical companies down there but I do not consider that to be affluent but basically blue collar workforce. It's great jobs dont mistake me but it doesnt necessarily make it stand out IMO and only a few of those can support strong enough salaries to live in places like Pinewood Forest.
Well yeh no doubt thats a given in the Northside. but I think there is something at the moment where the Southside is about to take off.As one mentioned earlier with that Aerotropolis development and other projects.I mean you have a company like Porsche that moved their headquarters there.
I think whats happening on the Southside of Atlanta is that all economic engines like the airport ,logistics services,filming etc have never been used to leverage more development where people would want to live there. Lack of amenities such as housing ,but as more companies expand and move in the area,more housing and retail will
Look at the Camp Creek area of East Point.The area continues to attract more development. They never expected that area to be so successful.

The Metroplex probably has more retail per capita than any other area and that would be the major job provider on the Southside followed by distribution, transportation Healthcare, and call centers
Chime did the same thing on the South of Atlanta in Clayton County at Southlake Mall. That mall I think would have been a closed eyesore but now several retailers including H&M ,Express ,Forever 21 and several others
