Atlanta’s about the Money

You often hear “Hotlanta’ as it’s known to the natives.Others that have moved here say,it’s vibrant and the gateway of the south.However,within the city’s government there’s out on the manipulation at the highest level going on.Specifically in the housing redevelopment projects of Northwest Atlanta(Westside) to most familar with it.There’s two distinctions:One side of Northside Dr.N.W. Atlanta is Buckhead,affluent it shares the 30318 zip code.Though it has it’s own and another city literally.Have you heard of Atlantic Station?.

Then there’s Hollywood courts and Bowen Homes apartment tenants Afro-americans now displaced.They were given token-vouchers to move into other black communities.Subdivisions homes occupied by middle-class black families.The transition has not been easy for low income afro-american families.Forced from the public housing they could Afford.

Though warned in flyers given by the two apartment communities initially passed down from The Atlanta housing authority.The issue is  the cloak of secrecy,motives from the city of Atlanta it’s division of housing and the white developers.To not inform those  Afro-americans why they’re acquiring large acres of land from them on the westside section of the city.

Afro-americans in this part of the city,are thriving though slightly above poverty-level.However,the city of Atlanta is employing higher property-taxes for low income to middle-class families.This illicit method is Predatory-lending racism.It cripples Afro-american families and destroys their communities.

Which is the plan of the city to acquire the large building contracts from white-developers and Jack Nicholas to build new Luxury 18-holes Golf communities.Starting at Sphinx st. through Carver homes where Perry Blvd intersects.Currently the city of Atlanta is completing work on the bridge at Hollywood Rd.,N.W.Atlanta.Alexander Tires will be rebuilt as a police annex and fire department.These plans have been in the works since the seventies.It’s just more obvious now.

Nicholas tried obtaining these properties before unsuccessful.City government continue getting long  and large money for themselves.It’s at the expense of the good resisdents.Not good at all just big city government with fat pockets.You can’t get them to come clean up these neighborhoods or dispatch 911 in time to save lives.Because that’s Atlanta period,high cost of living below bar services.

When you need help paying mortgage,rent,utilities.You have to live like me in Henry county,Stockbridge or Clayton county to get the help you need.The Westside is where I lived after moving here from Chicago.That’s why it’s disheartening.Don’t be stereotypical:A closed book.I implore you to go and sit at those small community meetings.So,you’ll know what will affect you.
