atlanta: Stadium District to help Atlanta Braves gain fans
- 11/21/06 01:14 AM
As a life long Braves fan, I will always support my home team. However, the Braves don't always get the fan support they deserve from the City of Atlanta.The Braves won 14 straight division titles, a feat that will likely never be matched by any professional sport team...ever, and yet the national media mocks the Braves fan base. The Braves have fielded at least 5 future Hall of Famers over the last 15 years, and still the City of Atlanta gets criticized for not supporting the Braves. The Braves have had multiple MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, ERA Title, … (1 comments)
atlanta: How to raise money to solve Atlanta's traffic problems
- 11/14/06 11:44 PM
The latest from Atlanta 575 Real Estate Blog: I have blogged many times about the traffic problems in Atlanta (read here, here and here) and I generally come to the same conclusion...money is needed to make a difference. Atlanta transportation funding lags behind many similar sized cities, yet no one wants to be pay more taxes to raise the money needed.Yesterday I read an interesting proposal to adjust how money is generated for transportation. The current state gas tax being charged as cents per gallon, not per dollar. So when general prices rise (inflation), that 7.5 cents per gallon of gas doesn't. … (0 comments)

When we were kids, we all dreamed of the future and how cool it was going to be when got older. We'd have robots doing laundry, automatic meals with the push of a button, and we'd get to commute to work in the sky. Well, Atlantan's may get to test the commute in the sky thing, albeit not very George Jetson like.The AJC recently reported, that transit planners are designing the "firt of it's kind" elevated commuter bus station. The station would straddle the main travel lanes and HOV lanes of I-75, just inside of I-285 at Akers Mill Road. Besides … (9 comments)
atlanta: What Everybody Ought to Know About the Housing Bubble.

Our country is still concerned about the "Housing Bubble". Mark Cuban's cool new search engine Icerocket.com has a Blogs Trend Tool that illustrates the web still averages over 76 blog posts per day about the housing bubble over the last 3 months. Nationally, the concern over the Housing Bubble still frightens many, but here in Atlanta most of my colleagues and contacts are confident in our local housing market.I stumbled across this research study today and although it is a bit dated (2004-2005), I think the findings are still relevant in today's market and should encourage everyone to believe in Atlanta's … (1 comments)

Wade and I both grew up with real estate in our family, but more importantly we grew up in the technology and information era. Our conversation focused on how we can use technology and information to better enhance real estate.Just the fact that … (2 comments)

If you live in Metro Atlanta, visit Metro Atlanta or just like to read random blogs (like this one) about Atlanta, then you already know that traffic is bad and getting worse. Rapid growth and and lack of funds to build infrastructure have created some of the worst traffic problems in America. Recently the Atlanta Business Chronicle clarified these cruel realities..."Atlanta is spending far less money on transportation than several other large, fast-growing metropolitan areas, potentially putting its economy at a major disadvantage, according to the author of a new study.The report by the Reason Foundation, a Los Angeles-based free-market think … (2 comments)
atlanta: Atlanta changes from Sprawl to Smart Growth poster child?
- 10/05/06 02:02 PM
Atlanta has historically been known as the poster child for sprawl, but local policy makers, developers, and even the Urban Land Istitute think that is changing to Atlanta becoming the poster child for smart growth. "The only reason we're the poster child of sprawl is that we grew faster than other cities when sprawl was the preferred developmental pattern across the country. But I also think Atlanta has done pretty well in an environment where there aren't a lot of barriers to sprawl development," said Stephen Arms, owner of Marthasville Development LLC in Alpharetta in a recent article in the Atlanta … (0 comments)
