What's Happening in the SWATs? Nothing.

And in no big surprise news, the city of Atlanta is shafting the poor while trying to fix the transportation system and improve inner-city life. Expansion plans (aka. "The Beltline") by the Atlanta Regional Commission intially promised but now apparently fails to include the SWATs. The best part? Since these plans have been on the table for the last few years, property taxes in the SWATs have gone up, though none of the proposed benefits--more jobs, better housing, greater access to city resources--are coming in.
