Atlanta on Biebs: There goes the neighborho­od

-

Justin Bieber might want to slow down before he races to Atlanta.

The pop star is reportedly eyeing a mansion in the tony Buckhead community, where neighbors are hardly welcoming him with Southern hospitalit­y.

Residents plan to protest Monday morning outside a house 19yearold Biebs is reportedly close to buying.

“We’re concerned he’ll bring the wrong type of element into a quiet, residentia­l area,” protest leader Harold White told CNN.

“It is our position that a person with his means could certainly find a neighborho­od more suited to his eclectic lifestyle.”

White’s wife started a Facebook page, titled “Protest Justin Bieber Moving to Buckhead.”

“Justin Bieber’s relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children, as well as the community. Some can’t even let their children play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the influence before,” the page says, in reference to the hardpartyi­ng singer’s arrest last month in Miami Beach for allegedly resist ing arrest, driving under the influence and driving without a valid license.

“What’s to say he won’t do it again?”

Bieber is also being investigat­ed in connection with the egging of a neighbor’s home in Calabasas, Calif., that did $20,000 damage. David K. Li
