Upcoming Elections in Atlanta

I have found this article on Atlanta Journal Constitution Online about suburban sprawl in Atlanta. It argues that contrary to its vast size, Atlanta still has politics and policies of a small town. With the upcoming elections, candidates are not offering anything new but raising taxes, both liberals and conservatives to lower urban sprawl. Another interesting point that the author makes is that the commercial and residential downtown of Metro Atlanta is somewhere between Cumberland and Perimeter Malls, which means that what is called uptown today is the very center of commercial activity and residences, which is pretty apalling.
