Also the Netherlands has like one airport lol
Atlanta actually doesn’t need a second airport (and we shouldn’t wish for one).
Hartsfield-Jackson is already one of the best-connected airports in the country in terms of heavy rail, with MARTA running directly into the terminal.
The real problem is that we never finished building out our regional transit network. Cobb County has historically refused to join MARTA, and heavy rail still doesn’t reach Alpharetta or much of the northern suburbs.
Extending MARTA north into Alpharetta and beyond, along with expanding service into Cobb County, would do far more to improve airport accessibility than spending billions building another airport.
We should be investing in connecting more of metro Atlanta to the world-class airport we already have.

Atlanta needs a second airport somewhere north of the city.
Major cities all over the country have at least 2 airports.
Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is gigantic. Parking is often times full. Security lines can be long. The trains to the terminals are crowded and it can take up to 40 minutes if you just walk all the way to the last terminal.
And one of the biggest problems is the never-ending terrible traffic in Atlanta if you are driving from anywhere on the north side literally whether it’s down 75, 400, or 85.
No.

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.
260

Nate Silver was, once again, right about everything
He claimed a D+13 to +14 popular vote would give Democrats 56 seats in the Senate and 265 in the House
They won 56 seats in the Senate and 261 in the House

A stunner could be brewing in South Carolina, where the needle gives Annie Andrews a narrow edge. It's still early, but she's running ahead of our estimates for early, absentee and election day votes.
