Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory To Sell $2.2 Million Mansion

[ucrdem]

37. A hotel would cost considerably more than 2.2 M.

Atlanta's building codes and zoning laws might be different but in Calif the complex you're describing would run at least 10 mil and would probably not be permitted in that neighborhood. From what I could see in the video they got good value for the money and given the unusual nature of the gift the structure does not strike me as excessively opulent or self-indulgent. However I understand that optics are important and if this gives an appearance of same then I think Wilton made the right call, even if the diocese has to take a hit on the sale which it probably will. As to the rest I can only speculate and I wouldn't expect anyone to admit it, not right now anyway.


p.s. if the property was donated they would have had to abide by the zoning restrictions of the neighborhood which I'd imagine is single-family residence only.
