The Dunwoody that some cling to has moved to North Fulton and South Forsyth counties: largely suburban, nuclear families with 2.3 kids and commitment to strong schools and a safe community. What some call family oriented.

In Dunwoody our public schools are in decline. Rapid apartment construction combined with the fact that Perimeter Center refuses to incorporate "learn" into live-work-play has created severe overcrowding. The construction of infill homes in the $1 million price range attracts families likely to send their children to private schools. Others simply do not have children--it is a choice.

Traffic is horrible, congesting our roads only slightly more than our lungs. Little can be done about the fact our community is directly in the path of thousands of daily commuters. Expect it to get worse.

And it's simply not clear what church has to do with anything except it takes quite a bit of prime real estate off the tax digest, all the while many include quasi-business operations.

Dunwoody simply cannot turn back the clock and will need leadership beyond yearning for the good old days to create a sustainable community.
