WSJ Blog: America primed for surge of pop. growth in exurbs over coming years

[Roronoa D. Law]

What is considered Exurban/Surbuban depends on the city and who you ask. Since Atlanta is the poster child of urban sprawl I think I can speak to this.

ITP is everything in I-285 this is what people would call the city of Atlanta. According to them everyone OTP is not from Atlanta but from a one way road that flows onto 285. If you go out and ask people in Roswell, Marietta, Tucker, and Morrow they would say Atlanta is Cobb, Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett. According to them the 5 counties are what make up Atlanta and its suburbs everybody else is from North Georgia.

That isn't far from the truth most people who commute to Atlanta are from the main 5 counties most towns outside these counties are close to 40 mi from the COA. Most people in Fayette and Coweta work near Hartsfield-Jackson and Forsyth and Cherokee working in Perimeter Center/Cumberland.
I know people from these counties who never step foot in Downtown Atlanta. I think an exurb is a surburb of suburbs. If that's the case Republicans better start supporting early voting and mail in ballots cause they'll be sitting in traffic till after polls close.
