Standing amid the remains of the Atlanta Street homes Thursday, Broughton Cochran harkened back to his time as a social worker helping single mothers and kids in broken homes. “Needless to say, I saw some pretty distressful circumstances, but at times I would find children that had abnormally high self-esteem and didn’t exhibit the typical distress,” said Cochran, board chairman for the Gainesville Housing Authority. From the rubble of 65-year-old Green Hunter Homes, a new apartment complex offering at affordable and market prices will rise in the coming years.
