Agreed, a driving force in that area is the ability to walk everywhere and to almost everything. There is a huge shortage of rental property close by … with the expansions of Emory there needs to be more temporary housing. I dont think traffic is bad thee at all. Especially not comapred to the rest of Metro Atlanta. There has to be places for people to live.

Todd – has anyone asked the Emory employees if they would want to live in this new complex?

Emory proper has a massive population that grows considerably during the day, making it one of the most densely populated areas of Atlanta. That such an activity center is served mainly by single family homes, garden apartments, and a trivial amount of retail in the immediate area is ridiculous, and is a big reason that the traffic is so bad in the first place. I believe this is exactly where this type of project belongs.

One of the plans I saw included subsidizing the cost for some units for Emory faculty/staff/students, much like the townhouses at the curve of Commerce Drive across from Fellini’s.
