A father-daughter duo have been arrested for allegedly working together to run a drug operation to deal to high school students.

Daniel Williams, 51, and his 17-year-old daughter Morgan Williams are being held without bond on numerous drug-related felony charges after a raid found more than two pound of marijuana, 87 colorful MDMA pills - also known as 'Molly' or ecstasy - and $22,000 in cash.

Investigators with the Johns Creek-Alpharetta-Forsyth County Drug Task Force raided the family's home in Cumming, Georgia, as well as a storage unit in Forsyth, leading to their arrest Wednesday night.

'We believe that they were working together to sell drugs in the Forsyth County area,' Sheriff?s Office spokesman, Cpl Doug Rainwater said.
 
Whether you live in an affluent area or poor area, high school students will be exposed to it. Even when I was in high school, students were able to access marijuana. Surprisingly, they were the academically smart kids coming from affluent  households. I could never discuss this type of topic with my father due to our language and cultural differences. Since english is now my first language and I am a 1.5 GEN Asian American, I can openly discuss the harmful nature and consequences of drug usuage with my children before they enter middle and high school. 
 
Atlanta declared third fastest-growing metro area in the nation.

If it feels like Atlanta is getting more crowded, it is.
Between 2016 and 2017, metro Atlanta packed on nearly 90,000 new residents, bringing the total population in the region to an estimated 5,884,736 people.

The statistics, published by the U.S. Census Bureau, mean Atlanta saw the third highest population gain of any metro in the country, behind Dallas and Houston respectively?cities with larger overall populations. The numbers put Atlanta?s growth well ahead of Washington, D.C., which has a larger overall population than Atlanta, too. For now.

You mentioned Cook County population declined, there is huge reason. Gangs killing gangs. Seriously. And people just sick of the crimes and violence, those that could afford to move, they moved. I was at Cook County Central Jail a in 2010, not for crimes. I was on an Integration Team delivered a state of the art new fingerprint ID system and booking system upgrade for Cook county to Interface with FBI new fingerprint ID systems and Cook County was over run with criminals even then.

A Tech entrepreneur relocated his primary residence from Fullerton to Johns Creek. His greatest motivation for the move was due to the lower cost of living and a improved lifestyle decision for himself, family, and his business growth. Many of residents who look to move outside of California usually target Dallas and Austin as their first choice of destination. Atlanta real estate becomes desirable due to the lower property taxes vs 3% property taxes in Texas.

Just a thought. I think if you were in a bigger market. You might make more cash.

On a positive note: You have good social media and marketing skills

Panda - How is the market holding up in the ATL and surrounding areas?  There are various data showing that Irvine sustained a YoY price drop in recent months.  I'm guessing your market is doing better due to the massive influx of people, but I'm just wondering what you are seeing.
 
I am very sorry Liar Loan... I didn't see your post until just now. I believe the higher end homes are starting to slow down. Here in the Atlanta market, a high end market is considered to be $600k and above.

In Forsyth County, the market I work, the median home price is $301,100 and the median house hold is $96,445 where the multiple ratio is a 3. So we don't have quite a bubble like the coastal markets.

A bubble in housing is defined by how much of spread there is between the median home price and the median household income. For example the median home price in Cupertino, California is $2,069,700 and the median household income is $134,872 which give us a multiple ratio of 15. The higher the multiple ratio, the higher the housing bubble.

When we have the next housing correction, I believe the coastal housing markets with a higher multiple ratio will be impacted much more vs the housing market in Forsyth County.
 
So people trade up and carry the equity gains with them to the new pad.

Or stock options, my nephew work at Facebook, he making 200K plus bonus, but the stock options was given and matured to the tunes of more than 600K and this was two years ago. He cashed out and bought his house in SJ. 1.3 mil. and was an ok place. He sold it a year ago with a gain of 300K in a matter of 19 months. Crazy right, now that is crazy appreciation there for you.
 
Median Cupertino income for active homebuyers is more likley ~$500K with 2 earner family. Salaries for senior people in SV companies are well north of $200K, in addition to the aforementioned free equity positions receive.

Yes... actual median income does not equal reported/census median income.

This is also my argument for Irvine. Using an income to price comparison is not accurate.
