First Microsoft and not Airbnb.

As if our traffic didn't qualify us as the LA of the East.

Seriously though, metropolitan Atlanta is a great area to live with three major interstates going through the city and a very well developer surrounding area. With many businesses adopting more lenient WFH policies the drive is not always a concern. Schools are generally a good mix of public and private as with any area.

Agree on your points, tech WFH/remote policies should benefit a city (especially more car-centric like Atlanta). If they can prioritize proximity to public transit, mainly rail or core bus route, that really helps, but if not, could also be a reason to make investment in transit to that area.

P.S.: typo? "...and not Airbnb" --> "...and now Airbnb" :)
