    The worst part of this is that the facility isn’t even in Atlanta. So the people directly affected don’t have a say in the city’s decisions

      Atlanta is in DeKalb county. Well, partially - Atlanta is in DeKalb and Fulton. The land being rented to build Cop City is owned by the city of Atlanta.

      I’m actually from DeKalb county, so this quite literally hits home for me.
