Atlanta just spent $𝟭𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟯𝟬 𝗕𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱.
The property is heavily wooded.
Instead of luxury homes, Atlanta plans to preserve the forest and eventually open trails to the public.
And this creates an interesting question.
Atlanta needs MORE housing.
But we also need:
Trees.
Parks.
Trails.
Green space.
Quality of life.
My take?
Preserve truly special natural land.
Then build more housing on:
Old office sites.
Empty malls.
Huge parking lots.
Major commercial corridors.
Atlanta shouldn’t have to choose between growth and green space.
We need smarter land use.
Would you have preserved the 30 acres or developed it?

Atlanta talks a LOT about affordable apartments.
But here's another question:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣?
Atlanta Land Trust just appointed new leadership focused on permanently affordable homes.
One strategy is a community land trust.
The nonprofit owns the land.
You buy the house.
That lowers the cost of ownership.
When you eventually sell, you receive some appreciation—but the home remains affordable for the next buyer too.
There is a tradeoff.
But for some families, this could mean becoming a homeowner years earlier.
My take?
Atlanta shouldn't only ask:
“C𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?”
We should ask:
“C𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?”

Would you consider a land-trust home if it allowed you to become a homeowner sooner?

Atlanta added almost 𝟱𝟰,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿.
But residential building permits are down about 𝟭𝟴% 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
That gets my attention.
Because housing economics eventually comes down to:
𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝘃𝘀. 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗦
Atlanta's population growth is slowing—but we're still adding tens of thousands of residents.
If homebuilding slows even faster, affordability pressure could eventually increase again.
That's why Atlanta keeps debating projects like the 𝟯𝟳𝟱 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲.

My take?
Atlanta needs smart growth.
Not unlimited development.
But enough housing to keep up with the people who continue choosing to live here.
Do you think we're building enough?
