Lack of density will probably help with the virus tho.

It would be an interesting to have the differences in the cost of doing everything in our metro verses doing the same in Barcelona. (Commuting, delivering goods and services, maintaining infrastructure)

  Barcelona has also doubled in population since the 1960's.  To say that it was founded 2000 years ago doesn't mean that it hasn't evolved over the years or that we can't learn something from a city on the opposite end of the density spectrum because the problems from being sprawled over 10,000 sq mi aren't going away.

Except it's not that surprising. The city has been building like gangbusters and I love it! Now it's time for transit to catch up. That street car needs to be extended like yesterday.

People in Atlanta looking at this in 2200 will not get it. I believe Atlanta will be as big as present day NYC. 180 years of growth is a lot.

I've been to Barcelona. It's on the ocean and surrounded by tall mountains and rocky/hilly land. Only so much you can build on. Atlanta developed during the car culture and expansion of interstates.

Apartment rents plummet in Buckhead and Midtown

https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/...hborhoods.html


Quote:
Over the past three months, apartment rents have fallen from 4% to 5.5% in some of Atlanta’s most expensive neighborhoods, including Buckhead and Midtown and areas along the Beltline.

The plunge happened during the most severe period of the coronavirus outbreak in Atlanta, when much of the city’s economy was locked down.

The sudden reversal ended 8 years of steady rent growth in the Atlanta market, according to the latest research from ApartmentData.com. Average rents were down 2.2% from March through May for the entire metro Atlanta market, but declines were sharpest in areas of Buckhead, Lindbergh and Emory, Midtown — including Piedmont Park — and the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail. Rents across the entire Atlanta market are down just 0.2% over the past 12 months thanks to a stronger performance in suburban apartment markets.

In metro Atlanta, ApartmentData.com surveyed 1,833 properties representing 445,356 units.

Atlanta apartment rents during worst of Covid-19:
  • Buckhead: Down 5.5%, with rents now $1,834 per month
  • Lindbergh, Emory: Down 5%, now $1,434 per month
  • Midtown, Westside, Piedmont Park: Down 4.6%, now $1,684 per month
  • Downtown, Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail: Down 4.2%, now $1,446 per month
