With the city's RFP/IFB process when selling off assets, do they set a price floor for the sale based off a current land value formula? If they don't, seems like an immediate SOP that could be implemented, in addition to making the entire sale process public. An absolute shame we hear about a sale essentially after there's an agreement. That's not representation of a constituency, that's crap business from whoever is in charge and whatever they deem "appropriate".
Atlanta in general would benefit from a stronger public engagement process by elected officials. This stuff and all the beltline controversies should be eye opening about how things are run compared to how they should be.
