I certainly do not want to live in area that is Democrat. I will be looking elsewhere to live.
BTW, I was appalled by a yard sign that said "Asians for Abrams". Can you imagine a sign saying "Caucasians for Kemp"?
I'm glad we're moving to Jackson GA.
Gee, I wonder how this is happening! Time to move.
You are reporting news. Is your bias really necessary? “An astonishing 1/4 million”...really, you needed to add that? Your readers can come to that conclusion on their own. Disappointing.
Feel free to rent at Mir a Lago
Yeah I guess you'll have to move to hillbilly country to escape the blue monsters in your head
I can assure you, previous commenters, that the Johns Creek area will not miss your close-minded attitudes. Enjoy whatever single-minded place you move to, surely it will be a very prosperous area (heavy sarcasm).
Judith: Really? My Chinese friend shared their group picture taken at the Trump rally in Macon "Chinese Supports Trump".
I just moved here last year. I am so glad I did! Blue Wave!
Happy to see JC turn Blue. As a life long Atlanta resident and son of immigrants, I have always known America is great. My parents taught us to live well below our means, max out our retirement accounts, buy real estate, invest in America, encourage higher education.
Very easy to excel in America if you truly want to. Indians and Koreans can establish financial strength within one generation of arrival, but many so called American conservatives do not, despite being in America for generations. If you live beyond your means, refuse to save adequately and refuse to invest in America you will and should get left behind and we are seeing that.
John's Creek has among the best schools and highest per capita income. The Indians, Koreans and other minority groups have contributed to this. If someone wants to leave, please do. Chances are great the place you move to will have lower incomes and schools.
It's not new voters or those just moving here. It's people tired of the silly antics of the GOP and the constant fear and division being thrown at us. Throw them out.
Thanks for lecture on being prosperous in America Anonymous. I am VERY comfortably retired in a gated community. I appreciate good schools but I certainly don't need them.
We moved from New Jersey, a heavily taxed state to Georgia where taxes were lower and most people were conservative with conservative values.
My Vietnam veteran husband (who always knew America was great) died recently and he was the epitome of frugality and hard work.
Judith, we're all Americans. No more, no less than you.
GA House District 025 covers part of Johns Creek, also, does it not? I live in Concord Hall and that's what's on my precinct card.
