In Texas it's mostly about cost. Then it's about construction area and inconvenience. The most cost viable line proposed by Houston Metro is pretty much in indefinite limbo because they didn't want Metro tearing up the street (one that DESPERATELY needs to be rebuilt anyway) to put the rails in. There are already buses running up and down the streets at 10 and 15 minute intervals from sun up to sun down and beyond. Also the highway and oil lobby is on steroids out here. Just a bad mix for a city that definitely needs transit improvements.
im taking city of Atlanta not the whole area
have fun

The average price of a two bedroom apartment in Houston is $1600 a month. This is driven by the oil economy. High oil prices drove up oil and gas salaries driving up the average salary (no one else was getting raises though) for the city along with costs of goods and services. Even with the prolonged collapse in prices there were still so many transplants driven here by the lure of good jobs and the "low" cost of living (they were late to the party) that only NOW is housing matching demand meaning that rents aren't going to retreat very much.

But why would that ever happen tho? If anything with the airport expanding expect to see Camp Creek more fully develop and grow. Camp Creek is also one of those areas in the SWATS where wealthy blacks own a lot of property from there all the way down to Fulton Industrial. South Dekalb never had that power structure and when it was being built up in the late 80's, early 90's it was part of the suburban problem this article is outlining. Decatur/SW Dekalb is an 25-30 drive to Atlanta with most of the jobs outside of that area or back in town. With Camp Creek you're literally a 5-10 min drive down the street from the busiest airport on the planet and one of our strongest economic entities that's only getting bigger. Those two sides of town are not comparable
The cities are not places where families are meant to be raised in. The suburban poverty is the result of the great recession
US major cities will be like paris (and other euro cities) soon. Soon as you leave paris , there are a ton of ghetto high rises. All the rich people live in the city, where the jobs and amenities are. The poor people commute to the city to work low wage jobs then get they ass back to the outskirts before night fall. shyt is on some Divergent shyt, smh.
Never been but it seems like the same thing is true in london and it's surrounding suburbs.
We already know about NYC, LA,DC and San Fran. But now this is happening to 2nd tier cities like Philly, Atlanta, Boston etc
White people are FLOODING into point breeze south philly. spots that were 40k a decade ago are rehabbed and flipped for 400k+. shyts crazy when you go back home and literally don't recognize the shyt. IT's nothing more jarring then walking down the street and seeing a young white family chilling in an area that was reserved only for live nikkas not too long ago. These white people literally do whatever.the.fukk.they.want. If they want to live in xyz hood ain't shyt the current residents can do to stop it.
Some of my relatives got finessed out of cribs that were in graduate hospital in the 90s. cribs over there going for $500k+ now
We still have multiple cribs in point breeze though so see how that go. I live in the suburbs now, but i'm about to close on another crib in the city. I'm going ride this gentrification wave since there ain't no way to stop it
Almost all the wards in Houston have been gentrified. 1st and 4th ward are done. Inroads are being made into 2nd ward and there's a rail line out there now. 3rd ward would be done if not for the economic collapse of 2008 but it's back on pace now. 5th ward is pretty much untouched for now and looking at the 6th ward map that area is pretty much finished as well. There's also mini pockets of gentrification in middle to lower middle class areas near Houston's none downtown business districts. shyt is crazy.
Corn Crib comes to mind
Corn Crib in Douglas County?
I didnt know Houston was that expensive
out here, rent has skyrocketed for apartments. Same with housing costs. Pretty much add $100-200k on top of whatever price a house was in 2012-2013. New houses (that rarely get filled cause no one can afford them) be expensive as shyt, dont even have lawns and are usually duplexes (or whatever those houses are called that share the building, opposite doors on each side of the house).
for months Every fukking weekend I drive by this stupid ass billboard in Vallejo (broke ass city) "New houses from starting in the low 500's
" im 
aint no one moving into them bytches man if they were they wouldnt need to advertise for months for them but even then, apartments the real robbery. $1500 for 1 bed room apartment. Same apartment I was paying $1100 for in 2009
but if can find a $200-300k house, the mortgage would only be $1400 or so 
shyts stupid man

If you black and willingly live in Cobb then I'm prayin for you
Why? It's a housing boom, construction boom, good school systems and rapidly changing demographics in our favor. I'm in S Cobb/Vinings now, Cobb County is the fastest growing area for millenials in the country...go to Cumberland Mall on the weekend and tell me this area doesnt look like Greenbriar & the SWATS did 10 years ago.
Being a clayco native i can say this is true. I remember before the marta ran thru there was the ctran. Alot of people depended on the ctran to get to the airport to connect to the marta system so they could get to work in metro atlanta. Well then they got rid of the ctran and everyone who deepened on that system couldn't get to work and they ended up losing their jobs.
