The only thing that matters is whether the city is going to do anything about it. Until then, that vision means about as much as those fan fiction MARTA maps people make.

100% agree. Why in the world would the Midtown Alliance announce a plan for 5 one acre parks when there is zero chance of that becoming a reality? Considering Midtown land prices are $11 - 22 Million an acre. I would rather they spend the money to complete all of the sidewalk revitalization and bury all of the utilities. If there is money left over, build 1 park with a large water feature.
