Are you really conflating liquor stores/check cashing with affordable housing
Liquor stores and check cashing are to keep people in poverty, affordable housing is to assist people in moving to the middle class. Yall Coli brehs go more Republican with every post
I went out of my way to make my post as clear as possible cuz i knew some coli nikkas was gonna try to get some self righteous post off for cheap daps.
Lemme break it down. Me stating that the neighborhood came together to fight off liquor stores and "affordable housing" was not conflating it was a fact. Affordable housing has many meanings, but in metro Atlanta its a damn scam. Affordable housing in the city means out of a whole complex they might dedicate a few to low income folks, in the suburbs its totally different.
They tore down all of the projects in the metro. So hundreds of thousands of folks needed a place to stay. They gave them vouchers to find housing BUT not anywhere, it was specifically in two counties which just so happened to the two blackest here. We are the only metro area in America which doesn't have projects. So now 10 years later, houses have went up, so the homeowners who rented to Section 8 people are sick of dealing with them and can now sell their homes for a great profit. Now they need more apartments for them to go to, single family homes are scarce so lets just dump them where all the black folks are.......again. Black area Apartments are the new projects, while on the white side, apartments are luxury and they price them at 2200 and up.
So affordable housing in most areas of the country might mean working families that need down payment assistance, or renting assistance. Here its Section damn 8, and ask anyone who lives here how hoods have changed in the last 10 years, and its usually due to them. I stayed at my moms for 2 nights last week, she lives in a nice subdivision but i hear gunshots all damn night. The fukk? Now i gotta move my mom cuz she's used to it. Her area is heavily Section 8 apartments sandwiched in near homes.
