Atlanta Home Building Boom Pushes 1924 Permits Past 1920 Records
Officials report Atlanta housing efforts surged over the first seven months of 1924 with 741 residential permits issued, surpassing all of 1920, and projections suggest annual totals may exceed 1,000. Inspector Bowen notes the shift toward homes despite fewer large nonresidential projects, values and costs vary from 2,500 to 10,000 dollars, and material and labor costs dip. He warns that without a civic plan to finance housing, congestion could persist for years, yet builders remain optimistic about cheaper, steady construction ahead.
