Brookhaven is really shady.

They are an incorporated city JUST north of the Atlanta core that has rapidly annexed unincorporated parts of the area and they are THROWING money around like a rapper in Magic City.

There's a lot of community uproar lately about them pushing ahead with a SEVENTY-EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR city hall which apparently was not bid on and is quite a bit more than a very large mixed use complex that is being built down the street. Residents complaining their taxes have DOUBLED since being annexed, etc.

It was a lot shadier before Brookhaven incorporated. They are the reason the area exploded in many ways. I’m a former resident but I haven’t heard about the City Hall issue, guess they want to rival Sandy Springs. Looking online Sandy Spring’s City Hall cost $180 million.
And yeah their police office is already much nicer and larger than even the City of Atlanta's
