  • Story Text: Some residents of Atlanta neighborhood, Buckhead, have a message for Justin Bieber - just stay out.
    The Buckhead Neighborhood Coalition has used Facebook to protest the troubled pop star moving into the upscale neighborhood following reports that he was looking at mansions in the area.
    Titled "Protest Justin Bieber Moving to Buckhead" the Facebook event already had over 500 people signed up by Monday morning (February 24).
    Residents fear Bieber's recent run-ins with the law will drive down property values.
    Coalition president Sam Massell says Bieber will have to obey the laws if he wants to live in the area.

    "If anything, because he's so young, maybe he has more to learn than some of us who are aged. But we expect him, if he moves to Buckhead, we expect him to obey the laws like everybody else does," Massell said.
    Buckhead is home to a number of celebrities like Janet Jackson and Elton John.
