Agendas hate 'em. Agendas require swirling pools of propaganda where unprovable statements rule the day, so any existence proof is kryptonite for those living and breathing their agenda.
The city and their developer colleagues are confronted with some serious kryptonite. Their plan is to tear down the Village replacing it with a neo-gulag of ground floor shops topped with multiple stories of transient apartment renters. They like to call this "re-vitalizing" implying that there is no vitality left in Your Dunwoody. They claim this will bring a horde of "chef driven restaurants" and other things they believe we're dying to get. The counter argument suggests that there is no trendy development or decor that will magically produce the next Hugh Acheson.
Unfortunately for the city, their developer colleagues and their shared dream of profits, the existing Village (the one they intend to destroy) likely has our version of Weaver D's: NFA Burger. NFA is racking up kudo's and glowing reviews as the only burger you'll ever want. No faux-reno-warehouse held to the ground by five floors of apartments required. No high density, pandemic petri dish housing is needed to ensure there are folks lining up for the best burger they've ever had. Instead, Billy Kramer, the owner, needed only a corner of a gas station, and his most excellent burger to create a cadre of satisfied, repeat customers. Much to the developers' dismay Kramer has overcome what this city would call the crippling handicap of a Williamsburg architectural motif.
NFA is an existence proof, debunking the city's unsubstantiated claims that Your Dunwoody must give way to theirs and NFA presents an existential threat to the profits of their developer colleagues. Oh, and NFA makes a most excellent burger. You better go get one before the city shuts them down.
