Curious question will HB 581 be a huge consideration when people are contemplating selling and buying a home in Georgia?

Will it be important to know before hand if a county, city or school district has opted in or out of HB 581? Will this change people’s decision making to sell or of buyer’s choosing whether to purchase a home in certain areas? How will people know of this information (Opted in or out)will realtors disclose this beforehand?

Is anyone aware of any scheduled protest for our state? I’d like to stand in solidarity against the current agenda being put forth.

Introducing r/AtlantaLocals

Introducing a new subreddit for Atlanta Locals. We have daily chat prompts, an inclusive community, and active mods.

Like many people before me, I found myself unable to participate in the main Atlanta subreddit, and unable to get any response as to why.

I'm hoping to build a local community, where we can support each other, share information and resources, have meetups and chat.

If you are interested, please join us.

Local Residents, can you please suggest housing under the following circumstances

Can anyone suggest any apartments or housing that may be available in or around Macon for a family of six? I recently relocated from Arkansas for work and my family and I have been staying at a hotel until we find a place However, we keep getting turned down due to income, rental history, and credit score. I've spent over $300 on application fees only to be rejected. Is there a property manager or apartment complex willing to accommodate our housing? Any help you can give will help.

TON of fireworks at Truist Park just now - what is going on??

I’m used to it for game season on Fridays because I’m not too far away, but there’s literally nothing on their schedule today. This was like more than New Years level of fireworks.

What’s going on??

Orthopedic without insurance

So I'm in northeast Georgia and broke my shoulder 3 weeks ago but haven't been able to afford to see anyone. Just the CT scan they wanted $714 out of pocket. Anyone know what I can do? I signed up for Medicaid

Progressive Gun Store

Does anyone know of any progress gun stores in North Georgia? I live close to Athens, and all of the ones that I know around me are very conservative. I'd rather not give them any more of my money.

Red Note Eviction

Long story short I’m being evicted. I got the red notice on my door today. I know I’m a bad tenant, I lived here for six years but the new management isn’t as kind as the last. How many days do I have left to pack my things? I’m seeing conflicting things. 24 hours to 3 business days. I called my landlord and they were of no help and wouldn’t give me a date. I just wanna make sure I have all my belongings out in time.

Question on a car I want to keep for parts and not drive, doesn't work - taxes?

So I even just left the tag office on this. But the guy wasn't clear or didn't make it clear to me.

I got a new car but my old car, I was going to give the parts to my car people friends and just keep the car around until I decide if I want to register and drive it again.

I went to the Gwinnett tag office, he said I could keep the tag and I went ahead and removed it from the car anyway. There is no insurance on it and I deregistered it as junk.

It is already paid off, it is in a garage, not on the road.

So questions.

Is there anything I have to worry about. Do I still have to pay ad valorum tax on it for property? That 20 dollars a year? I can't get the emission test on it because I can't drive it.

Is there any other property tax I have would have to worry about it. At this point, it is just random parts and metal.

Not going to drive it. Has issues. No tag on it. I deregistered it at the tag office. That is it right?

I was just worried there is some random law I am missing and fees accumulate somehow.

Is there a way to see in real time what direction the Peach Pass Express Lanes are going?

The Peach Pass app is useless and the direction times seem to change. I’ve looked online and haven’t found anything helpful

Why Is the Education System in Georgia so poor?

It is interesting that the school system in Georgia is terrible. The education system is so poorly constructed that the children are meant to fail. Their curriculum is poorly put together so much so that as a parent you do not have access and proper papers to show the workings of the child. Everything is done online with no way to know how your child is doing.

I'm from the North (New England) and their education is second to none. The children flourish in education because they're provided the right tools to thrive. If your child is weak in particular subject, they have tools to give them.

We moved here with the hope of being around your own skin colour, but get the shock of our lives. They're as nasty as you could imagine. They're rude, disrespectful, lack common courtesies among other things. I am sad that people are like this.

My child is currently failing in the school. Something that has never happened because they have always been an A student. The teachers and faculty care zero about the wellbeing of these children and so if they fail they fail. I've never been to a state I dislike so much. Looking to move out asap.
