The wealthy haven’t bid up that part of town because they don’t want to get mugged.

Pretty simple. Safety First.

I think young affluent folks have slowly been filling in parts of town such as East Atlanta, Inman Park, and Midtown where they can get both a funky urban feel and a house!

As for Starbucks, it is interesting that the residents and GSU students don’t keep that location hopping longer. I was just in Chicago and delighted at the 24 hour Starbucks near Depaul.

It might be a good start just convincing the Starbucks in the Equitable Building to stay open hours which cater to residents and weekend visitors.
Unless they’ve recently expanded the hours they’ve kept amazingly constricted hours for such a central location.

And I agree with you about Fairlie-Poplar. And I’ll state further that if Atlanta’s wealthy had any taste whatever Fairlie-Poplar would have been bid up to an astronomical degree.
