Such asinine government waste spending.

Basically. But its a government owned property so changes everything. Drive north and east of the Ted a few blocks and you will see cranes and construction dumpsters all over SE ATL along Memorial Drive and Moreland Avenue. Nobody is asking those developers to change the world.

Silly me, why did I expect anything differently from a bureaucracy.

I can see this being the correct step to take if it was the City/County that was planning on investing. Spending 300k on a wishlist that has zero effect on the incoming owner.

Guy renting in the area: Hey, look at our plan, we spend a lot of money on it

Incoming owner: Hey, you colored between the lines, good job. Now please step aside, that bulldozer is bigger than you.

Basically. In the other article what stuck out was that the study is non binding. So yeah a big waste of money.

They can pay me $300k and I'll hold a meeting where all the residents can yell at me. Bout all this amounts to right?

I eman I guess. If its non binding that is pretty much it. Now comes the popcorn moment. THe method by which GSU gets this land should be interesting. Neighbors say they dont want a no bid sale. Have a feeling that is exactly what we are getting here.
