Sorry, not meaning to misstate any of your comments, I was speaking broadly based on what I've heard from proponents of the WRS plan. But which people are desperate for it? I haven't heard any downtown residents supporting this development. I've seen a large number of them that are vocally opposed. The Atlanta Downtown Neighborhood Association is opposed. The NPU is opposed. The South Downtown Center for Civic Innovation is opposed. The Atlanta Preservation Alliance is opposed. I just don't see how anyone can honestly say this is what downtown residents want.
