Suburban Poverty: Atlanta's Hidden Epidemic

[ZoeGod]

This is the end goal of Gentrification. Push the poor(black) folks to the burbs where there is less respurces,high crime,harder transportation. That is essentially what has been done in Paris. All the ghettos are in the banlieue. Police rarely go there and the minorities are left to fend for themselves. shyts fukked up.

You gotta point for real. Everybody I know thats black moving here moves to Gwinett, Cobb and Camp Creek. But then again I don't see certain places being gentrified like Cascade area nikkas over there already how that shyt work but honestly either way Atlanta is not gonna be the same Atlanta in 10 years for sure.

It's always been that way. Y'all transplants never moved to the westside. Most folks 2-3rd generation westside. I was the only nikka in my circle growing up who didn't have parents from the A. Folks used to roast me and call me a NY nikka as a kid just because I never really picked up that westside drawl. My people ain't even from NY but to a westside nikka anything north of DC is New York.

SW Atlanta will stay Black. They already in the West End but so are a ton of young Black professionals too. Outside of that I can't see them taking over Cascade, Ben Hill and Adamsville. Y'all can speculate all you want but you kinda have to grow up interacting with them folks in SW to see what I'm talking about.

On top of that they police racist as fukk! I keep a mental note to be careful about them nikkas.

Besides thread is sobering but there is plenty of black folks propsering. Went to REIA meeting in Manhattan back in September. Majority of the folks there were black. And they owned multiple property in the south and midwest. So yeah shyts fukked up but we have to use this as motivation to get into real estate. There is so many ways to make bread off real estate. TAX liens,Wholesaling,fix and flipping, renting etc. There is ALOT money out here. Build capital and better your credit should be must to fight this Gentrification plague. Let get this paper.

I went to school with a bunch people from cascade so i understand what you talking about. Thats why I was saying I would be surprised if anything like that would happen.

There isn't much black New York transplant in SW Atlanta? I have plans leaving Brooklyn for Atlanta when my paper is straight to get into the real estate game down there.

Most NYC People were in the eastside burbs from what i saw growing up

 

[DynamoEAR]

Bankhead will be the last area gentrified lol.

West End is the furthest along on the westside.

White people starting to take over The West End, breh. It's been happening just in the last 10 months or so.

Is the westside good spot for young black transplant professionals?

 

[Poitier]

I tried to tell y'all @Poitier


I literally sat at a gala with kasim and herdons son and they were literally begging young black professional ppl to buy up west side housing. The writings on the wall.

Hipsters will go west we will lose the city and all y'all Nikkas going to be like


Y'all don't understand government contracts are the base of black business, black loans come from the city for restaurants and small businesses. Y'all keep acting like this shyt doesn't exist man. I've only dropped facts and numbers on y'all out of love but y'all still don't wanna listen

lol breh, there are more Blacks moving into the metro than cacs into the metro or blacks into the outskirts.

 

[BigMan]

But I thought Atlanta was the black mecca

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Been a problem. Grew up in Smyrna and Decatur. Folks think Cobb is cool but my whole block was a bunch of broke black, white and hispanic families living in broke down duplexes Then moved to the Dec and like someone already said....one person on Section 8, the other got a 6 figure household income...it's a mixed bag depending where u at but I was on Candler Road so u know most people were broke on my street

I was bumpin' Ghetto Mafia earlier. They dropped name of some of the spots in your post
