My wife and I live in Atlanta. We have three children (3, 4, and a newborn) and live in a 1200 sq. ft. 2 BR apartment downtown. We use our car maybe once a month, and mostly because our pediatrician&#x27;s out in the suburbs. I won&#x27;t deny that we&#x27;re beneficiaries of Instacart, for as long as that&#x27;s around, as there&#x27;s no grocery store within reasonable walking distance.<p>We have no plans to move out of the city, though it would be nice if there were 3+ BR options for people like us that weren&#x27;t insanely expensive penthouses or niche luxury units at $3200&#x2F;mo+[1].<p>We&#x27;re not representative of the mainstream Atlanta consensus, but we&#x27;re not the only ones like this. There&#x27;s a palpable revitalisation of downtown going on that has attracted lots of young professionals. I certainly expect it to stick and grow.<p>[1] Yes, I know that&#x27;s the going rate for a rent-controlled 500 sq. ft. studio with leaking pipes in SF. Have the heart to make some provisions for Atlanta, where median rent is $1200 - $1400.
