You mean the not prime green space that was a prison farm and illegal waste dump site for seven decades?
- horsawlarway 3y agoDing ding ding. He means exactly that. It's an okish natural area right now, but it's hardly pristine wildlife, and while I'm not a huge fan of the APD - I don't think that removing training opportunities (and potential revenue from surrounding areas that use the facilities) is really the right solution. For context - I've been in Atlanta 34 years, and live in South Atlanta now. Frankly, I don't understand the "cop city" drama. It feels entirely manufactured.
