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.
Yep. Some parts of downtown have had business and job growth with the Tech stuff and a few of the corporations moving stuff back down there, but even people who want to live in the city itself are moving more to either Midtown or to Old 4th/Ponce/Beltline. Nobody wants to live in downtown proper, and therefore there aren't any grocery stores, bodegas, restaurant/bar scene there because nobody is down there at night.

I had an APD officer tell me they are actually fine with the current arraignments all the homeless vagrants who used to congregate and cluster in and around the Ponce Corridor and in Midtown have almost all moved to Downtown around Woodruff Park. He said it has greatly benefited midtown and made it much safer and cleaner and with them all mostly confined in that one area it makes it easier to 'manage' them but boy have they trashed the hell out of that area. Its disgusting.
