Now, you forget that Atlanta itself barely extends to a couple of points
on the perimiter (most notably the north end).  The rest of "Atlanta" is
really a lot of smaller cities/towns/whatever, and about a dozen counties.

So you can't blame "Atlanta" for being "unorganized" when the
CityOfAtlanta(tm) has absolutely no control what the folks up in Cobb,
Gwinett, or hell, even the rest of Fulton and Dekalb do.

Downtown is one thing; a holdover because reorganizing them is for all
practical purposes impossible. 

But to point a finger -- Cobb in particular is so utterly terrible with
its road planning that someone who reads the SimCity manual could
do a better job.  Gwinett is much better, but they don't seem to care
about how their denizens will get to their jobs downtown.  :)

And Dekalb seems to be the best of the lot -- I have at least four
parallel routes into downtown Atlanta from where I live.
