Scenario: You OWN Georgia, and money is not an issue... What would you do? (Atlanta: neighborhood, schools)

People whose neighborhoods you wouldn't want to visit, would be afraid to walk through, and wouldn't want to live in.

What did you do "Southern Scotsman?"


I think you are probably like on your fifth or sixth name by now.

I think that your interpretation that undesirable must refer to some specific race says a lot about you and the assumptions you make.

I didn't interpret this thread as being the least bit racist. Dumb, but not racist.

Not racist. It's just been infiltrated by a retard from Alabama.

Nothing says "knowledge" like Winder, GA.



It might make sense to incentivize technology and research closer to the two best schools in the state rather than hoping to get them to move out to Hicksville.

I mean... How do you expect to convince the workers to work there without a streetcar? Right Cqholt?

Some of the previous posts by "southern" do appear to be very racist.

It has to be an interesting place to visit to begin with. We've probably "Parked" all those places already.

2) Create more vocational high schools where students not on a college track can learn a trade. Coweta county has the Central Education Center that teaches things like welding, horticulture and culinary arts. We need more schools like that.

Problem is...we are encouraging everyone to go to college so everyone takes the SAT which is bringing down our average scores making Georgia look dumb. There is a social stigma against anything short of college.

3) Amnesty for illegals currently in the state. It would be a one time deal and I think it would solve a lot of the problems that our immigration law has failed to fix.

We tried that under Reagan. Total flop. Didn't solve anything.

6) Same day voter registration

Under what criteria would voting be granted?

10) A statue of Honey Boo Boo at the capitol

Definitely on board for this one! But I'd make it the size of the Statue of Liberty.

I was thinking the same thing. Why that route in particular? It's about 50 miles from Norcross to Athens. A very long corridor to fill with high speed internet and high tech companies. The BeltLine would have made more sense at half the distance with more and better schools in its vicinity and an easier sell to attract the techies.
