So if my math is right, if Atlanta averaged the same population density of Inman Park across the whole city we would basically have the population of Chicago. Obviously that's a simplistic calculation, but to me that does put in perspective just how wide a range of housing types we could be building. To me it suggests the housing issue in the area isn't even too much SFH, so much as it is too many areas with big lot sizes and little mix with commercial centers.

Why can't we build more Inman Parks?
