MYTHS vs FACTS
MYTH: 'Neighborhood Reinvestment' is about making Atlanta more equitable
FACT: Investing where it matters most to Mayor Dickens apparently means using $200M of TAD dollars to bail out big real estate's CNN Center deal.

Sean Keenan is simply one of the best local Atlanta journalists we've got and his coverage of housing news has been crucially important for the city. I'm very sorry to see Atlanta Civic Circle closing down, but I mostly want to say: hire Sean, someone. Pass it on.
Come tell the city we want Services 🚌🚏, Not Slush Funds! ❌💦
Soon, the Mayor plans to reintroduce a TAD extension to subsidize private developers over public schools.
4 buses rolled by, one after the other. Not even a car between them. I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone.
At least the stations will have benches to wait 30+ minutes to catch the buses that are supposed to come every 10-12 minutes.
All the Rapid A buses bunch up in downtown is just so MARTA.
Update: 10 minutes later and the three buses shown around Mitchell Street are 31, 21, and 10 minutes late. All stacked on top of each other.
Whoever made this website gets as many gold stars and A+’s as you can imagine. Yes, I’m once again talking about BeltLine Rail, but the wider point is that TAD money is tossed into a black hole and we should only expect corrupt decisions like this in return.

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States.
The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)
An independent public-records project documenting how Atlanta's voter-approved BeltLine light rail gave way to a driverless-shuttle pilot. Every claim links to a source document.
