Hmm..interesting. Demographics as a “problem” is something I never heard before. Are you then interested in the way Atlanta, specifically, deals with the changing demographics? Your interest seems the most in line with the way changing demographics can affect politicians. You might consider doing more research on gentrification, zoning, and politics.
