Anytime I see posts about cops on the BeltLine I think about the time then-Councilmember Dickens came to Manuel’s Tavern and told a room full of 20-somethings that it was ok to drink on the BeltLine, but if we got caught, don’t give the cops his name. I miss that guy. He was fun.

This is attempted murder and should be prosecuted as such.

An evergreen sentiment. At any given time, there are one or two active projects helping to make downtown livable, and at least twice as many that are counterproductive to that goal.

76% of the City of Atlanta tree canopy is in the yards of detached homes. The city's Tree Ordinance addresses this by putting up barriers to development of these properties to protect trees. Why not address it by planting more trees on public land? www.atlantaga.gov/home/showdoc...

I love the implication that anyone could ever *walk* to a Buc-ee’s

Willfully leaving half a billion a year uncollected property tax on commercial trophy towers is the main way this happens. Fulton commissioners are responsible. They need a hefty shove. Andre has known about this revenue shortfall for 8 years. In office, refuses to lift a finger.

Ethics aside, this is what municipal bankruptcy looks like. Trust funds get raided to pay the Finance Bros, so it never quite shows up on paper as a legal bankruptcy. The real bankruptcy is lived by the city’s residents locked out of critical public services, surrounded by crumbling infrastructure.

Atlanta’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, formed to bankroll housing initiatives, is now being used to cover bond debt and staff salaries — a shift that’s alarmed advocates and city officials. For @atlantaciviccircle.org: atlantaciviccircle.org/2025/05/26/i...

With Zoning 2.0 and CDP still in-progress, now is the time to design the city for fiscal independence so we can pay for important projects without relying on fickle federal grants. We must legalize dense, diverse neighborhoods that actually generate positive cash flow.

I saw some damn nonsense. 6 police cars coming from the direction of Cop City stopped all traffic on Moreland during rush hour to escort a Cybertruck.

My family had such a great time at Atlanta Streets Alive on Sunday. But safe streets for pedestrians and cyclists isn't a special event. It is an everyday necessity for any city that aspires to be world class.

In fairness, “we must remove the Danes from our shores” is a 1,000 year old Anglo tradition. On the other hand, Danelaw is a lot different nowadays. Mississippi could do worse.

It’s wrong to say Keisha quit on Atlanta by forgoing a reelection campaign. Can one really quit if they never showed up for the job in the first place?

This is from 20 (!) years ago today. Crazy. Certain revisionists want to diminish the role and vision of the two pictured above the fold…

The failure of imagination from the anti-streetcar is frankly disappointing. TWO trails is boring. Crack open a bottle of crazy and try to shock us with something audacious. Why not a beltline toll lane? What about adding elevated concrete double decker trails? Multimillion dollar parking decks?

I’m still thinking about this incredibly stupid take. There are currently 125,000 people living along the BeltLine, and the pavement is only half built. In our lifetimes we could anticipate 200,000 to 500,000 residents, and these “civic leaders” think the answer is 12 ft more concrete?!?!?!
