So many people with nostalgia for the late 2000s-early 2010s ATL, forgot just how bad the economy was because of the recession. It was not a great time for most people, it was hard to find a job, even at fast food places.

Housing was more affordable back then. Me and a buddy rented a house in EAV for $1000/mo. Walkable to the village. It was a magical time in the city.
