I'm told half of us will be unemployed due to AI by then. Why will we need more buildings?
Housing and cemeteries.
Look for a future zoning change.

You are in Florida right?
Florida is particularly bad regarding PE controlling most of the medical practices.
It’s not as bad in less populated states or regions.

That’s a lot of windows to break. Good for Atlantans.

There are a lot of large projects all over the country waiting on interest rates to drop. Next year you will see a huge boom in commercial construction.
So when interest rates do go down, construction costs will rise to meet demand. Great

That sounds dumb as hell.

A dude on world skyscraper forum (a bunch of nerdy architects, city planners, etc) compiled a list of all of the new buildings that have been approved for Atlanta and he claims that this will be Atlanta in the year 2030 based off approved contracts, etc
There are like 15 super tall skyscrapers breaking ground soon
He also said that Dallas, Houston, Austin, Nashville and Tampa are all going to have a very similar massive building boom like this
By 2030, if you're not making close to 6 figures or don't own your home, you absolutely will not be able to afford Atlanta. If you making 6 figures and own your home you still might be barely able to afford it if the state don't add more relief on taxes. I read a possible new governor wants to relieve taxes so that's a good sign.
Atlanta is definitely the closest of all southern cities to become the NYC of the South. Not Nashville, not Charlotte, not Austin, not Houston, not Dallas ... Atlanta. Atlanta is a city on a rise ... especially as it pushes out more of the lower income trouble makers

Norfolk Southern's brand new big arse building will be on the market soon if the merger happens.
It'll be replaced with residential housing and retail. Corporate buildings are a thing of the past. That area is prime real estate. Or actually GT might buy it and turn it into an academic building. GT growth has exploded.

It's not just PE controlled practices. If an "independent" doc is associated with any of the major hospital networks (here, it's Memorial Hermann and Methodist) they get the same rules passed down from on high that they try extremely hard not to deviate from. I fired my old doctor after she was forced to use a corporate line about something related to COVID. I switch to OneMedical (Amazon), which is way less restrictive, although I can detect they are pushing guidelines that are extremely risk averse.

Not just skyscrapers either. It’s like the interest rates right now are like a cork on the economy. If the idiots at the fed would finally lower rates, the economy is poised to skyrocket.
Cheap credit with mountains of cash still waiting on deployment. What could go wrong?

Why ? Our population is leveling off the influx of jobs will not be in offices. Unless this is just for housing it is pointless.
Blue collar work is out pacing white collar easily the cost of building and occupying them seen to be a cost unwarranted.
Covid has proved brick and mortar are useless outside of retail.
The younger generation wants to untethered , nomadic even. This model has had its best days.
I dont know about the Atlanta market but Nashville has slowed down significantly. The growth will come back slow once the intrest rates free up, but many orojects that were paused / planned will not proceed.

Not many like Atlanta, if any at all.
They host and are growing to host many fortune 1,000 Corporations. To my knowledge, ATL is getting more imported corps from NYC than any other city.
I’ve got 6 years experience over there on/off with my Ex.
Atl is BOOMING. Buddy of mine owns a huge moving company doing Corporate moves and pod storages in huge warehouses, not many places growing like them. I seen an article that it’s the next NEW YORK CITY with a skyline.
Every direction you look, you see 2-3-4-5 sly cranes.
New Orleans had one over the WW2 museum for 3 years to hand a wing replica donated by Boise Bollingwr that orogisblt donated $10,000,000 and the thing went over budget and way over time.
I like ATL & if I were young and looking for opportunity, that’s where I’m going.

Fortune 1,000 corps have been moving steadily into Atl and if that goat fricker communist wins the mayor seat for NYC, Atlanta is gonna grow faster.
Direct flights almost anywhere, infrastructure to grow, it’s popping over there. And close to mountains and beautiful nature

Wow. Last time I spent time in Austin was after Katrina with the ex-wife. We didn’t know our fate back home, so we did a 50’day road trip visiting friends around the country and made it up to Vancouver and back.
Austin was our first stop and we said if back in NOLA we don’t want to go back or just a change. AUSTIN was awesome. Then after the libs are destroying it.
But I often wonder if we relocated and I bought a house in 2006, would have 10x’d or something.
It’s high as gursffe nuts for property out there

Atlanta is so unappealing. That's just more people living in their cars for 4 hours a day.
