In-migration usually comes as close to the core as possible, and often requires rentals, which the Beltline is king in, and 2.) markets will push rental prices down, and that will have the desired effect of eating into the massive vacancy rate in the area.
Let me pump the Beltline's tires even more. If we go by the number of people who reside in the Beltline, and not just the people who reside in dwellings, I bet it is already the most populous area in the city, likely sitting near 27,000.
