I grew up in Atlanta. I just wish in-the-perimeter wasn't such a ghost town. I think this is changing with the massive number of apartments being built lately (and the Beltline), but it would be nice to have more of a "bustling" downtown (compare the number of pedestrians mid-day in SF vs mid-day in Atlanta). But then again, I've always been partial to the concept of European walking cities.

When I visited Atlanta 20 years ago, staying in a downtown hotel, I was surprised by how empty the city got after 5pm. It was a huge contrast to NYC where people actually live. It sounds like this is actually changing now.
