Tucker talking about Buckhead reminded me of St. George

This report may as well have been about St. George wanting to officially break away to do their own thing. First I heard of the same happening in Atlanta, but it sounds great. Any locals got any comments?

That’s the first thing that came to my mind

I don’t see why any prosperous area within a democratic ran ****hole would not break away - especially to have good police services in this day and time.

The only area in Atlanta I spent much time in was Druid Hills. Very rich people. Is there much crime there these days? Do they have their own police Dept?

St. George
The people voted for it almost 2 years ago. What are the judges doing right now? What is the holdup? How is this legal in America?

This has taken place in multiple larger southern cities. Even if just to form their own independent school district...which is the ONLY thing St. George backers wanted in the first place (Just like Central and Zachary).
All you have to do is ask yourself why people WHO DON'T EVEN LIVE IN THE AREA WANTING TO FORM THEIR OWN CITY are so adamantly opposed to the idea?

Did anyone else get the “inappropriate/offensive” pop-up?

There are affluent areas with major city addresses that will be dealing with this very soon.
I can think of very nice areas of Birmingham, Charlotte, Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville and many other major SE cities that will have to decide whether they will live in the culture and lawlessness that they seem to be voting for because eventually it’s going to show up at their door.
Short of installing gates in your community with armed guards your only options are breaking away or moving.

Alt26, I agree wholeheartedly; however, we won't change police forces up front. We're OK with the Sheriff's Office as nothing really will change in that respect. It just needs to move off of ground zero and let's get this party started.

CNN had an article saying it'd be devastating for Atlanta. Basically exactly how St. George leaving would devastate Baton Rouge.

I agree with all those cities except Charlotte might be a tier below the rest, visit there often and it seems to always be very clean and safer

Aren't most of the nicer old areas here already outside the city limits proper? Seems moreso than the other places listed.

Was reading that Buckhead has maybe 20% of the population base but makes up 40% of the property tax base. It's roughly the size of the city of San Francisco which has 2,000 cops and Buckhead has 85 assigned to patrol.
Can't say I blame them

I really hate it for them. It will be devastating toward the soy urbanites and hood dwellers if red America ever breaks away, too. Something to think about.

Plenty of $500k+ neighborhoods there with Birmingham addresses.
If you are in Mountain Brook or Vestavia Hills you are fine, but there are a lot of upper middle class neighborhoods in that metro area that aren’t.

frick Buckhead liberals. They vote for these leftist policies and then want to run away from the aftermath. Hope the place is overrun with filth like a zombie apocalypse.

This has been happening in the Atlanta area for a while. Buddy of mine lives in Dunwoody, they converted to an incorporated city a few years back. They were tired of losing tax money to the Atlanta spread…

As I mentioned in another thread, Buckhead splitting off from the rest of the City of Atlanta is different than St. George, which was incorporating a previously unincorporated area (a better Georgia analogy for the latter would be Sandy Springs).

Dunwoody was losing money to the cesspool known and DeKalb government (which makes even Atlanta look good)
