Wow, spoken like a ignorant commoner. Bigger homes, bigger yards, and more cars on the road are what's killing Atlanta quality of life. Numerous people throughout the region all complaining about the same things, but still manage to play hypocrite and fall in line with a Governor who simply suggests building more roads to solve our ongoing and tiring problem here in Atlanta.
Atlanta fell for the auto-oriented model years ago and people are getting fed up. I pray every day for happiness, but I also pray for Atlanta to make a move forward towards a better infrastructure. Shirley Franklin has said it herself that Atlanta is falling apart. Let me suggest that you leave your little town in NC and check out other cities such as Chicago, New York, or even Boston in some cases (God forgive me). These cities, along with others managed to build their infrastructure and THEN let the people in. Even when our fair city was burnt down, we STILL didn't "drink the koolaid."
Please think before you speak next time darlin', and make sure you stay in NC as well.
And in true Southern style, let me apologize for "reading you the riot act."
