Metro Atlanta is still fed up with traffic and folks in parts of it are pretty willing to pay more for expanded transit, according to the latest edition of a long-running regional survey. Also, pretty much everyone everywhere thinks they’re paying too much for housing.
The Atlanta delegation arrived in San Diego Wednesday morning – West Coast time – spending its first stop at Liberty Station, a redeveloped Naval training center that has been turned a complex of art galleries, shops, offices and restaurants.
Mark Cafferty, president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp., told the Atlanta delegation that Liberty Station is one of the most successful redevelopments of a former military complex in the United States.
While counties and cities do coordinate on the things that obviously cross their borders — like traffic, air and water — Catalyst zooms in on how to cooperate on some things that can get stuck in silos at county or city lines, like education and housing policy.
 The push for greater equity in Atlanta received a boost with the naming of Odetta MacLeish-White as the first managing director of the TransFormation Alliance.
The Alliance is a collaboration of metro Atlanta organizations aiming to develop thriving, mixed-income communities anchored by transit – and ensuring that those investments are available to all residents.
The 10 counties of metro Atlanta together have absorbed enough new residents to fill a good-sized city in just a year, according to a new estimate.
