It's for back property taxes and future property taxes for older individuals on fixed incomes. It should benefit them for about 5 years. The article says all of this.

It's not bad that he's trying to help. I honestly feel like the scope of this is too small to get much publicity, and the amount is probably what he needed to donate in order to avoid some taxes, given the timing.

I'm sure he's no saint, but there are a lot of rich people doing a lot of shitty stuff, so at least this is helping some people and doesn't necessarily harm anyone. I don't really think his films matter much in this scenario. You can just say you don't like him, lol.

You do know there are far more than 400 seniors in need of assistance in Atlanta, right? This is purely a PR move for him.

I'm well aware. Hence, the analogy I made in my previous reply to the other user. It's almost certainly more than just PR. I agree that PR is likely a slight motivator.
