"The threat of crime in Atlanta could debilitate Buckhead's condominium market.
Atlanta's wealthiest district has experienced a rash of high-profile and headline-making incidents over the past year, including numerous shootings at Lenox Square mall. Crime is the dominant issue heading into this fall's mayoral election, and those who are pushing for Buckhead to secede from Atlanta often cite crime as the number one reason."

"The police not being allowed to do their job" means the cops are being restrained from abusing their positions of authority and violating the most basic civil rights of individuals. It's an our way or the highway attitude of doing their job for which they are still being well paid for. Fire them and get cops that will actually do their jobs under the law and without abuses.

I used to live in Atlanta, the suburbs outside of Atlanta can take anywhere from 30-45 minutes away and a lot of them have the population to be their own cities. It makes sense for some of them to separate from Atlanta. That being said Buckhead is not one of those suburbs. This is an old South tactic of benefiting from the collective wealth of Atlanta and not giving back to the city. They resent that their taxes benefit people who don't enjoy their same socio economic status.

As a former police officer in Atlanta area. Buckhead and other affluent areas of Atlanta was accustomed to paying APD to have police officer do off duty stand by, and motor vehicle police patrols. Like Midtown neighborhoods of Buckhead Forest, Buckhead Heights, Garden Heights, Peachtree Heights as well. Northern Fulton County wants to return to its pre World War II County name of Milton County, and South Fulton County wants the same to go back to Campbell County. They also would not pass the MARTA metropolitan bus and train into North Fulton County because of Atlanta residents an that's why some of the Cities started making there own cities Brookhaven, Chattahoochee Hills, Dunwoody, John's Creek, Milton, Sandy Springs and South Fulton. This caused Fulton County Police to go from a major or one of the largest Police department in the Metro area to maybe the smallest in the county, not the area but county. The smallest why. Because those with affluence/money/wealth began these cities which changed the tax base/rate for Fulton County. These areas were unincorporated areas of Fulton County. Believe me when I tell it about affluence, money, social standing, and wealth. My son went to a charter school just North of Buckhead (Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs area). My local YMCA that we frequent was the Buckhead YMCA. They treated us well but once again many of the people there weren't very mean but somewhat snobby. I loved that place.

On the other side of the equation the same wealthy people benefit from tax breaks and incentives, govt programs, and flat-out special treatment from the legislation, legalized-bribery, and special commercial products, services, and protections that "normal" people do not have access to.

I'm a born and bread In the heart of Atlanta. I can honestly say the only truth Bill White reasoning is when he says * the last several years there is spike in crime"... What he fell to mention, as so many, is the REAL REASONING! Gentrification.... this happened several years ago and when they did this without thinking it through. The projects and middle class communities they removed and made it impossible for them to move back in. Didn't think about the cons of their plan. I knew then when they was doing that, the crime rate in areas LIKE Buckhead was going to go up. U push blacks in projects and then forces them out without a plan to help , they only wanted to help themselves from traveling back and forth to and from the city for work. I remember clearly how they pitched the change, like they it was going to benefit these poor ppl. Greed and this is their consequence to their selfish act!!!!

@johnwatson1258 2 года назад

I've lived in one of the most affluent areas in Atlanta outside of Buckhead for 10 years and I can say from my experience that you guys are spot on. Buckhead has been trying to limit black and brown people from going there for over a decade. They have campaigned against expanding the marta system so public transportation doesn't even go up to most areas in and around Buckhead. Cops there are already heavy handed as well. I've been stopped and searched after a dog did a "free air test" around my car more than 5 times up there since I've lived here. Each time the dog supposedly "signaled" and the cops searched my car finding absolutely nothing. They don't want us in the stores up there unless we're working in them. It's well known that you don't cut through certain residentials to avoid traffic if you're black and in a nice car or if it'sa certain time of the day. And if they form their own police department, I'm sure it'll only get more oppressive.

When I was a year old, my parents moved the family to Atlanta. I am now 76, and lived on the edge of Buckhead for decades as a younger adult. It's a cool place and was our "playground" - funky and swanky restaurants, theaters, music halls, shopping, etc. Now they want to secede from ATL? That's laughable; like Aleppo, Syria announcing "we are seceding and will make our own police force because it's too dangerous around here!" Crime has risen EVERYWHERE. I am so glad you wrapped this story with a discussion of police problems - you are spot on! This entire country needs to rethink every element of policing. They have gone down a rabbit hole. My thoughts on Buckhead: they say they are the size of San Francisco? SNORK. By size, they must mean square miles, because in Buckhead, most of that space is sculptured lawns and swimming pools. This is an enclave of OLD MONEY, for the most part. Unfortunately, much of the POWER in GA lives here; Kemp's mansion is in the heart of Buckhead. I suppose many of this ilk would call me a communist, because I believe that trying to secede from paying YOUR SHARE is unpatriotic. If the wealthy are allowed to abandon the real people of the world, we are doomed. I hope the people of Buckhead fail miserably. I hope it costs them a s***load of money that would be better spent if each neighborhood just hired their own security guards. I've lived in and around ATL for 1/4 century and I love my city. Our symbol is a Phoenix - rising from the ashes of the Civil War. That's mostly literal, not just a metaphor. We can do it again.
