I agree wholeheartedly.

Is the 400-unit Mill Creek project affordable housing?
The city/Invest Atlanta could & should incentivize the affordable housing near
existing transit that at the least decouples parking from the cost of rent. I say lets give people the opportunity to live car free as a viable option before we rule it out as a possibility.
