    People from Atlanta really love to gatekeep the city, though. You live ITP? You live in Atlanta. OTP? You live in some redneck shithole whose name isn’t worth remembering.

      It’s a distinction that matters. The fact that the City of Atlanta only makes up 1/10 of Metro Atlanta (by population) and that the rest of the metro is Balkanized into dozens of different jurisdictions is a substantial cause of a lot of the fragmented city planning and other related problems we have around here.
