Go to Lenox Square mall (ATL) if you want to get shot

[Prodyson]

Once university homes got torn down it was a wrap for the west end. Gentrification had been on the AUC’s mind for a while. It started with John hope and Harris homes going first. The area stayed pretty lit, for the most part. Once university was gone things calmed down a lot. It used to be a guaranteed robbery, walking down fair street, at night, without being a familiar face smh.

I’ve passed by the mall this year, a lot more black adults were out. Some of the African shops are still there. I’m not sure if Oakland city is still as hot as it used to be. I don’t have any reason to go there anymore. A lot of my family and friends have moved east to north Decatur, southern Gwinnett, and Stone Mountain/Lithonia. I stay at the border of stone mountain/Lilburn/Snellville, myself. I only moved back from the PNW a little while back and the city proper is barely recognizable anymore.

Word? I stay on the same area. I live off 78/Main street

Me too. Right behind Shiloh HS. It’s the best of both worlds. It’s relatively peaceful and it’s easy to get back into the city outside of rush hour.

Not anymore. The changes are coming faster than people can adjust.

If you mean the demand, it hasn't gone anywhere.

If you mean the rent control issue, there's a federal order via the CDC to stop evictions in place for now. it's supposed to be for "lower income tenants", but the threshold for qualifying is 99k per year in income, so...yeah. Status quo protection.
