Oh hello public realm!
I felt so relaxed as I walked here and realized what a difference the wide sidewalk and street trees make, despite the traffic. Also loved seeing the simple shaded plaza, where someone was sitting even on a day as hot as today.

Agreed! I don’t care how many trees people have in their backyards. Publix realm is what matters.

And again, calls for bigger change get city responses that essentially say, this isn’t part of our purview.
![Response to Zoning 2.0 comment about missing middle housing that says, "There are new zoning districts that could support missing middle, but properties would need to be rezoned. No zoning maps changes are proposed at [sic] part of ATL Zoning 2.0 other than a one-to-one renaming/conversion of existing districts."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzypow6gjovszvhdpiq3j7lf/bafkreidn64mc4w3sezlk3egxqcivtddo4g4ffvdn556z6nr2mgwmbzi5wm@jpeg)
