Personally, I’d prefer that everyone move to Gwinnett. Then, they won’t be in my way when I want to get to the damn grocery store. All the condos on Peachtree Street and in Atlantic Station are ruining Midtown. When I moved here six years ago, traffic was tolerable, but now I might as well live in East Cobb.

@Susanna - MARTA is welfare.

This means, as an exercise in influence peddling, the ARC’s vision is self-fulfilling. Blah. It’s a bad day when an Atlanta real estate developer looks like a good guy.

While the northeast part of Columbia continues to sprawl (though it has not yet reached Gwinnettian proportions), there’s a conscious effort right now to invest in the downtown area to bring people and business there. A lot of people have criticized the mayor for all the construction going on, but I agree that a revitalized downtown is preferable to suburban sprawl. Those efforts are already bearing some fruit: http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/business/15744152.htm

I am still jealous of MARTA, though. People here think public transportation equals welfare.

Gosh, think this might have anything to do with the fact that there is only 1 mayor (but 60 cities) and a whole bunch of county commissioners on ARC’s executive committee?

Why anyone would want to live in Gwinnett is beyond me. If there’s another county in the US that has a worse growth plan, I’d like to see it. What an awful, awful, place to live.

A million Gwinnetians…as if driving through Gwinnett isn’t scary enough.
