White folks can have them 1400 sq ft. bungalows with street parking. fukk that. I need space.

A lot of folks jumping at that shyt are from other areas where not having a yard and parking is cool with them because the never had it anyway.

Every house is going to be converted into one off those bungalows soon. Shiit is all over DC. Every house these developers buy, they're turning all off them into apartments/condos

According to the 2006 population survey, Jews who have moved to the area in the last 10 years also outnumber those born in the area, particularly in the northern suburbs.[2]

"15- 16 yrs ago" is 2006, your comment triggered the memory of my og post. It's not 'white people', it's Jews specifically, hence all the new synagogues. When we lived in gentrified Harlem, my neighbors were 70% jews, 15% foreign or American white, and the ppl who follow them (Asians, gay bm, one or two black DINKs). They're starting on our block in Brooklyn now.

Theres a pattern to gentrification, just tryna pull y'all coat and tie in some data. Id be curious to know if the pattern holds true in other cities, ie, its not 'regular' white people who gentrify us out. I read an article about the explosion of "NY style delicatessens" in Atlanta. They have cultural markers. Watch for markers and you may be able to foresee trendlines, benefit, plan ahead, etc. Its an elegant predictor for model building.

Gotcha. TBH I wasn’t following the discussion after my comment so I was confused on that front.

Actually Atlanta has long had a very strong Jewish community and they actually have specific areas and enclaves themselves. I generally live near one in the North Druid Hills area. I don’t think this particular influx of gentrification can be tied to them specifically relative to the City of Atlanta area @Born2BKing mentioned or generally speaking towards. Even the site you linked mentioned Northern Suburbs which isn’t the area he’s speaking of. Generally that group isn’t looking for city living.

In terms of the my 15-16 years ago comment, at the time it was more along the lines of the inevitable shift. One group moves in, the other moves out, the other group moves back out and the other group moves back in. The housing crisis and the demographic changes are/were the tipping point in this particular case IMO.

:yeshrug: Let them tell you out their own mouth, article dated 2008.

80 percent of Atlanta’s rapidly expanding Jewish population comes from somewhere else. Although most hail from New York and New Jersey—and they are a driving force in the community’s growth over the past 10 years—there are also Jews from Israel, Iran, South Africa and the Former Soviet Union. The community has changed dramatically since German Jewish immigrants began arriving in 1845 to set up shop. :usure:
According to the 2006 survey by the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta (www.shalom atlanta.org), the Jewish community saw a
56-percent increase over the past 10 years, from 77,000 to 120,000. The areas of greatest Jewish settlement, some up to 60 miles from the city, were not even on the federation’s radar screen a decade ago...

Who are these Jewish newcomers?
They are mostly young and affluent, drawn to a cosmopolitan business destination—think CNN, Coca-Cola and the Jewish-founded Home Depot, for starters—with relatively low living costs. The city boasts America’s third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies. Many find jobs in real estate, medicine and service industries.
The best indication that the nearly 5,000 resident Israelis have made a mark is the number of Israeli companies with United States or regional headquarters here: 45. Tom Glaser, president of the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce, said Atlanta ranks in the top five centers in North America for Israeli businesses; most specialize in telecommunications, medical technology and security. The largest, Amdocs Inc., is a software company and employs 700 workers.
“Israeli companies and people here are playing a bigger role overall,” noted Glaser.

:skip: You mean wiki? That's a weird way of phrasing it.

Not sure what you're arguing. If you need more specific evidence of the hypothesis, I'm happy to do a little light research.

Atlanta
Wait.....serious question...cause i am not familiar

Was there ever a time when ATL wasnt full of white people? Or is this just some nostalgia thing?

going back to the civil war the area that would become Atlanta even back then was 50% black. Idk of whites have ever been the majority of Atlanta

A couple years ago, I put my kids in a ballet class in the West End, right across the street from the Shrine of the Black Madonna.

Right before class started, when these white kids and their parents started coming up in there, I was legitimately confused...and a bit pissed honestly because I was trying to have my kids in what I thought was a black space. I overheard heard the mother telling someone how she had volunteered in South America, how the principal at the kid's school was gay and how she wanted her to kids to be exposed to diversity...

I was just like :snoop:, so you are one of them. Kids still acting like you would expect with the tantrums and being too precocious. I often wondered if i was the only person with this thought whenever they would come in for class. They were there for morning art classes and evening chess classes, too.

Born and raised in this Atlanta, though I lived by Bankhead as a kid, seeing this then and now continues to annoy the hell out of me. There was always a sprinkling of white folks we would find in the hood and you could tell that is genuinely where they came from. But this new crop that purposely comes to the majority black parts and sets up shop and think they are benefiting the social cause, I guess, trip me out. I can completely visualize everything you described seeing on Auburn Avenue and what the people probably looked and sounded like as well.

they used to have their own enclaves in the city like in midtown or north Atlanta, but now they go on CityData and research “trendy” areas to move into.

Decatur looks ridiculous with the gentrification. Nothing but scared ass Cacs and Asian immigrants.

The actual city of Decatur has always had white folks though bruh.

The Decatur we know and love (Unincorporated Decatur..Columbia, Glenwood, Memorial, Flat Shoals, etc) still the same. But I will say I used to go kick it with a home girl who had a crib in a neighborhood near Columbia HS and it was like 3 white folks who moved in her neighborhood.

they all had Atlanta United flags hanging in front of their house :hhh:

I wonder how long they’ll stay there till they get tired or too afraid of the young nikkas in that area


So nikkaz was just renting In Atlanta? I thought it was cheaper homes. They def won't get more affordable now....

95% of the time when folks talk about the cheap houses and land it’s the suburbs.

Point was to reaffirm the article/Wiki statement that the community was well entrenched prior to 2008.

I’m not arguing anything, simply pointing out that the Jewish community as a unified force is not gentrifying the areas @Born2BKing be was originally referring to. The Wiki article you essentially says that as well.

Ultimately I was providing some context to what you posted as a native of the city that knows the areas and has friends and business associates that fit that demo. The article is in line with what I stated.

I think you might be taking this as challenge to what you posted which it really isn’t.
