Justin Bieber may have taken a fancy to Atlanta, but that doesn't mean Atlanta's taken a fancy to him.
Residents of a neighborhood the 19-year-old pop star visited are sounding the alarm and joining forces to prevent the "Baby" singer from moving in.
Calling themselves the Buckhead Neighborhood Coalition, the group has started a public event on Facebook titled "Protest Justin Bieber Moving to Buckhead" slated to be held Feb. 24.
The Biebs' "relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad" for their "children, as well as the community," they argue.
"Please do not allow a child to ruin what we have worked so hard to obtain," the description signs off.
According to the New York Post, Bieber is close to sealing a deal on a house in the area.
"We're concerned he'll bring the wrong type of element into a quiet, residential area. It is our position that a person with his means could certainly find a neighborhood more suited to his 'eclectic' lifestyle," Harold White, a longtime resident and an organizer of the event, told CNN.
More than 600 people signed up for the event.
Residents fear Bieber will be as big a nuisance in Atlanta as he was in his Calabasas neighborhood, where complaints regarding Bieber's wild behavior have ranged from loud parties held into the wee hours of the morning, to smoking marijuana in front of the neighborhood kids.
Bieber is allegedly an equal menace on the road, according to former neighbor Keyshawn Johnson, who filed an "over-speeding" case against the pop star. He's also been accused of threatening one neighbor and getting into an egg-hurling spat with another.
While many are genuinely concerned about the neighborhood and are lauding the protest, others are calling it "immature." Several comments go further, with one accusing the neighborhood of "blatantly ignoring far more serious problems in the city - the homelessness, cocaine usage and vast inequality of wealth."
The residents of Buckhead aren't the only ones who don't want Bieber around. A country-wide petition to deport Bieber to Canada has already garnered about 262,652 signatures, making it the second most popular petition to be filed to the White House in the last three years, according to the Daily Mail.
