Sadly, it might be too late for the country, but you hit the fark'n nail

It all started when we started living in air conditioned comfort every
day instead of when company was expected. That and color TV. ;~)

Air conditioning was what allowed the South to grow (good or bad).
Atlanta would still be a wide spot in the road without cheap AC. It
didn't take off until the '60s.

Atlanta was a regional city even before the Civil War. But you're
right about cheap ac and the city taking off in the sixties.

When I first moved there, the tallest building in town was 22 floors
and there weren't a dozen of what we'd call "skyscrapers".

Today, it's skyline rivals all but the very largest of cities.
