Every city is going to become Detroit, eventually. Just a matter of “when.”
The feds, either through regulation and or by the courts will stop the breakaway cities dead in their tracks as soon as it becomes clear that race is a factor in the continual failure of inner city Atlanta. Count on it.....
If only the collectivists could find a way to avoid the law of sowing and reaping.
Many years ago Atlanta’s Black Police Chief was caught giving the answers to questions on the promotion exam to the Black cops.
Nothing was ever done about it.
All due to DummyRats.
“So when you allow powerful groups of citizens to opt out of a social contract, and form their own, it may benefit the group opting out, but it hurts the larger collective,” he said.”
So basically we’re running out of “hosts” for the remaining parasites?
Sandy Springs is a great success story.
If you look at a map of Fulton County (which contains the bulk of the city of Atlanta), it’s a weirdly-shaped area...sort of like a lopsided dumbbell with broad areas in the north and south and a narrow central “neck.” The city of Atlanta takes up that central neck and a chunk of the southern end of the county. The northern end contains a number of what used to be unincorporated areas and a few fairly well-off suburban cities (like Roswell and Alpharetta). The northern end of Fulton County is by far the more successful and affluent area when you compare it to the bulk of ATL proper and the other areas of southern Fulton. Significant portions of southern Fulton even outside the Atlanta city limits are pretty much Fallujah with extra melanin.
So naturally the Powers That Be in the ATL fought like wildcats to keep northern Fulton County in place because they were able to milk tax money out of affluent, successful, largely white North Fulton to pay for pet projects in poorer, largely black South Fulton. The folks in the northern Fulton suburbs were getting robbed for decades and until the GOP took over the Georgia legislature, nothing was done about it. Now that all the unincorporated areas in North Fulton have become individual cities, they don’t get as much tax money anymore.
And it could get better yet. The reason Fulton is so weirdly shaped is that it’s actually a merging of three counties back in 1932—Fulton, Milton, and Campbell. The northern part of Fulton County is agitating to the Georgia legislature to let them completely break away and re-form Milton County. If they do that, Fulton County’s golden goose is cooked and it really will be Detroit with better weather.

A more fundamental question, is in this day and age, do we still need cities? Can we essentially have spread out areas of medium-sized communities, without the need for a mega-sized hub city? Maybe in the past it made sense, but with technological advances, that old model has become obsolete.
There are some very good Black leaders and administrations in this country.
What difference does it make? Those people who voted for Atlanta idiots and made it what it has become are moving into the suburbs and demanding more “diversity” in every facet of government and schools so they can make us into another corrupt place to live.
Spoken like a true Democrat party communist.
And like the rest of them, he doesn't want to be identified.
I hope other suburbs that are similarly held hostage by large, concentrated Democrat parasite nests ("cities") around the nation will take note of what the suburbs surrounding Atlanta are doing.
News like this gives me hope that America may be able to rise from the dead.
All they’ve got to do is send Jimmy and Rosalyn in as troubleshooters, and all the woes will be declared solved.
Racist blacks are reaping
what they have sown.
Segregated plantation hell holes.
What happened to the “Hotlanta” of the 70s? *snicker*
"At least 178 teachers and principals in Atlanta Public Schools cheated to raise student scores on high-stakes standardized tests, according to a report from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation."
