You mean more and more like ITP which people in this thread say is wonderful? Everything paved and developed, schools and crime getting shittier? Is that what you mean?

What I mean is I've lived half of my life in GWinnett county and nearly a decade ITP. At present in 2023 there is zero chance whatseover I'd want to live in Grayson. It's trash. Where I lived ITP was fine (miles better than grayson) but life prompted me to move elsewhre.
Grayson may be fine for you but it offers absolutely nothing to me that I couldn't find (and likely in superior fashion) elsewhere. Just personal preference is all, if it works for you then that's wonderful.

I know, we've been over this. But it's all beside the point.
The Atlanta defenders suck each other off over the "nice" parts of Atlanta, and I show crime stats showing the "nice parts" of Atlanta still have triple the property and violent crime rate of a random suburb, and all you can say is Grayson isn't fashionable.
Got it.
Take your L.
Atlanta is a shithole. Are there worse shitholes like NOLA and Memphis? Yes.

SteelerBravesDawgs will be in here tonight to talk about his SIL in Inman park and how utopian it is. Do I go ahead and post those stats or wait for his prompt?

I think if you do some actual research you will find that the people who are moving to places like Gwinnett, Rockdale, Cobb, Douglas, Henry, and even Fayette Counties are moving from the city of Atlanta. That isn't a good thing. Intown Atlanta is trending one way and those metro counties are trending the other. Cobb county is getting worse by the year. There has been a huge demographic shift in the city the last 20 years. All those people who are being replaced have to go somewhere.

Careful with that nose stuck up in the air, you might drown if it rains.
I’m a just redneck rube, lifelong Alabama resident and have been to Atlanta 100 times minimum. I’ve stayed at the Marrriot Marquis downtown to the St Regis in Buckhead. I’ve been to the old Georgia Dome and Mercedes Dome for Falcons games, Peach Bowls and Atlanta United games, usually with passes to the AMG private lounge at the MB Dome. Sat next Arthur Blank’s son and family once. I could have reached out and touched the soccer players from our VIP seats on the sideline. I could probably find my way from Piedmont Park through Virginia Highland to Little Five Points with my eyes closed, with a side trip on the Beltline.
But thank you for informing us ignorant Alabamians who’ve never been out of our state. Very impressive.

95% of posters on this forum couldn't afford to live in Inman Park even if they wanted to. Its a great neighborhood.

I've about to leave for a few, but can you divvy up your property crime stats to filter out apartments? When I lived in Brookhaven, the VAST majority of crimes, drug overdoses, carjackings, burglaries, etc were done in apartments. If you live in a normal house on a normal street, the odds are incredibly low that anything is going to happen to you.
AndI'm sure the same thing can be said for grayson, btw. My lack of interest in grayson has nothing to do with home invasion stats.

It's always so strange when other people keep trying to convince you that where you live actually sucks.
Grayson is fine I guess, I dunno, sounds good for whoever wants to live there. Got friends and colleagues from Dallas to Winder and have spent a 12 hour Saturday at some city/county softball park at basically every locale in between. Pretty happy with our current setup.

If you really want to dive into the "crime stats" you'd see that something like 70-75% of the property and violent crime in Brookhaven happens in the apartment complexes on Buford Highway, which are densely populated and lower income (which always corresponds with higher crime rates).
Regardless, we enjoy our neighborhood, schools, property value, commute time, etc etc. I'm sure people in Cumming and Acworth do too

one of the biggest offenders that immediately sprang to my mind is the one behidn the BP on clairmont/85. Piece of crap drug den that is literally a stone's throw from an interstate. Crime hotbed.
But it has a brookhaven address so apparently your neihgborhood is no longer safe george.

We haven't had one of these in a while. Some of the usual suspects are missing - Smokeyone, SteelersDawg and I'm probably missing someone.

They are slowly gentrifying all that, too. Already taken down most of the decaying stuff on Clairmont behind PDK up to the Buford intersection. All the way from Dresden to 85!
However, there is one locale that would not bend to the communists at Brookhaven City Hall. One establishment with the guts and toughness to hold the line against the City's efforts to get rid of the rif raf!

So this parsing of the data is basically saying "ATL is great, because my particular neighborhood of 133 houses is pretty nice. Those apartments down the street don't count."
Am I reading the room correctly?

Although I've never lived in Brookhaven, my office since 2008 is in the office park behind Pink Pony, corporate square. Just so you know I'm not a complete stranger to the area.

I don't disagree, but that has nothing to do with the point. That fact does not make Atlanta not a shithole. In fact, it confirms it. Why are the surrounding areas getting shittier? Because shite from Atlanta are moving there. shite comes from shite Holes. Get it?

I mean...yeah? Your starter of "Atlanta is great bc.." may be playing some kind of semantic game that I don't really care about. But with you posting crime statistics from "CITY OF BROOKHAVEN" for instance....all the crime that takes place in seedy apartments next to the interstate truly has nothing to do with how safe or unsafe SOG or someone else living in a normal regular ol' neighborhood is. They may be 3 miles apart but it may as well be 300. The criminal element that's doing the killing or carjacking in those statistics has never set foot in the regular people neighborhoods.

So as long as you never leave your house or your neighborhood, everything will be fine.
