quote:
#1. Eastside Beltline (Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Virginia Highland, Poncey Highland, Morningside)
#2. Midtown
#3. West Midtown
#4. Buckhead
#5. The Perimeter (Ashford Dunwoody)
#6. Downtown
All of those places have far more amenities, are safer and more things to see and do than Downtown Atlanta. I don't care how close Downtown is to the stadium it just sucks to be there and would rather be 2 to 5 miles more away (or even 10 if choosing Perimeter)
No disagreements on that.
Downtown just hasn't redeveloped the way they've tried to make it happen for 10 years. They've built neat new museums, added the dumb streetcar, re-done some old hotels, built some new hotels, expanded Georgia State, etc etc...........but nobody wants to actually live down there. And until they do, it's just not gonna be anything other than a 9-5 foot traffic zone.

The worst thing to happen to downtown was the emergence of Midtown after the 1996 Olympics. Most companies/businesses have either left or are in the process of leaving Downtown for either Midtown, Buckhead, or Perimeter. Eventually the only 'jobs' left in downtown for college educated people will be city of Atlanta, State, or Federal workers. The private sector has almost totally abandoned it and for good reason. There are much better options in the city core now.

The 50 acre Centennial Yards Development (the gulch area) will transform the area over the next decade. It recently began in the hole right next to MBS with phase 1. A new hotel and apartment tower is underway. People visiting this Saturday will see the tower cranes. CIM out of California is the construction manager and the master plan for the development is exciting.
