For many older residents on fixed incomes, those increases pose a real threat: displacement from the homes and neighborhoods they've lived in for decades. One program, launched by Invest Atlanta, is working to change that. Mary Johnson, a 75-year-old retired nurse, has lived in her home off Metropolitan Parkway since 2005. Her neighborhood, just blocks away from the Atlanta BeltLine, has seen development accelerate " and so have tax bills. "I've been here since '05 and the property taxes have gone up, especially with the Beltline being only a couple of blocks away," Johnson said. Her most recent tax bill totaled $3,517, up from $3,449 the year before. For Johnson, who lives on a…...

His lack of rim pressure represents a hurdle Wallace must clear in his quest to carve out a safe spot on an NBA team. Keaton is a stout defender who can make…...
