Government

Can somebody explain how a private company is runing Sandy Springs' government? Does it have the three (or four) independent branches? How the goverment distribute whealth among less fortunate population sectors? What is done by private companies and what is not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugozam (talkcontribs) 12:01, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Population

As a native Georgian, I realize there's some competition among Georgia's 2nd- and 3rd-tier cities. Some people wish to inflate the population of their hometown. But where do these figures raising Sandy Springs' population to over 100,000 come from? According to the 2008 population estimates (released just this year), Sandy Springs has 82,674 people and is the 8th-largest city in the state, not the 6th-largest. The US Census estimate (2008 is the last one before the official census of 2010) is the only figure used in encyclopedias, including Wikipedia--no others are considered valid.Mason.Jones (talk) 19:27, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Do you have a source for this "estimate"...which, by the way, is very likely an UNDERestimate?76.17.118.157 (talk) 20:20, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

There was no underestimate. I believe that the 100,000 figure for Sandy Springs was erroneously taken from preliminary statistical "spreads" that were not populations and that were not final. The final 2008 estimate of 82,674 was just released by the Census Bureau on July 1 of this year. The exact link is: http://www.census.gov/popest/cities/tables/SUB-EST2008-04-13.xls Mason.Jones (talk) 00:52, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

The claim that Sandy Springs was the 3rd-largest incorporation in the history of the U.S. completely neglects Santa Clarita, CA. I don't know the population in 1987 when it incorporated, but the 1990 Census had their population at 110,642. If someone could find data on Santa Clarita's population in 1987, we could settle this more definitively. Adamnvillani (talk) 16:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

2010 Population

I have confirmed the 2010 census figure for Sandy Springs; this is not an "estimated 2010" figure, as a previous editor had it, but the Census Bureau's official count according to its newly released FactFinder2 chart. Sandy Springs has a 2010 population of 93,853 and is Georgia's sixth-largest city (following Athens).Mason.Jones (talk) 16:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Sandy Springs, GeorgiaSandy Springs – It already redirects here and there doesn't seem to be anything else also called Sandy Springs. Jinkinson (talk) 02:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

  • Oppose - As such, I'd oppose a move, the name is far too ambiguous. People need to stop seeing "primary topic" as a trophy. Regardless of whether it is primary topic or not, it should still have the state listed. Listing the state does't make that place any less important; it just makes it easier for wikipedia's world wide audience to find the correct article and stops ambiguity. --Rushton2010 (talk) 16:21, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Well how would someone arrive at the dab if they knew they were looking for Georgia? In ictu oculi (talk) 00:49, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Well, because they type in "Sandy Springs" and hit enter, because they assume that it's the one they're looking for. And 90% of the time, they'd be right. Why shouldn't we send them straight there? Dohn joe (talk) 05:31, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
