The capital of the New South has something to say. ATL's film industry, HBCUs, and tech startups create a debate scene as diverse as the city itself.
Transit
Transit was part of the original promise. Supporters of the current approach say development is what pays for the trail and its parks.
Public safety
Supporters say better training makes the city safer. Opponents objected to the cost, the use of forest land and the way the decision was made.
Housing
Growth could help pay for homes people can afford. Developers warn that fees raise prices and slow the building the city needs.
Civic life
Residents argue they deserve more say over their own services. Opponents say it would drain Atlanta's tax base and divide the city.
Public health
Expansion could cover more uninsured people and keep rural hospitals open. The other side questions the long-term cost to the state budget.
