Reason #4: Mixed Use Development


We here at MannDubinBlog are huge fans of the mixed-use development that has been going on around Atlanta. From Atlantic Station to Doraville, mixed use communities have the opportunity to transfrom our city by reducing a person's need to drive. From LaGrange to Big Canoe, these communities might just transform our region.

The picture above is a mixed use community for which construction has been stalled because of the poor economy. We're excited, however, because they've once again moved bulldozers and other equipment in. This particular community is located near interstate 85 at the intersection of North Druid Hills and Briarcliff Rds. This area is constantly plagued with intolerable traffic. While the community might make things worse, hopefully it will bring people in from the suburbs and thus off of our highways.

Because it's trying to modernize and improve, I love Atlanta.
