NVM, I thought you were talking about the brehette losing her business

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

I didn't know he was doing this

Yup. $15K credit. Not a tax deduction, but a straight up credit. That's like a rebate on closing costs

You already know what the end result will be. Meanwhile brehs shooting each other and throwing money at strip clubs. Good luck...

Even Chinatowns ain't gonna be around

Every major U.S city is being gentrified.

Paul Mooney is kind of a controversial figure but he had a point on some jokes.

He said something like "when it was slavery we was INSIDE the house. Now we free and they don't want us on the same block"

Just something I think about when I see these gentrification stories. The hypocrisy of it all...

Atlanta started gentrification right after the olympics. It’s a completely different looking city now.

Get involved in real estate investing or stfu. Cant really complain about gentrification if you don't own shyt. The market determines prices. The ATL market is on fire right now. Great time to be a owner and selling real estate right now. Also this article is about 10 years too late. Atlanta has been gentrified like a muffukka. All those old hoods you hear people rap about or no longer the hood. There's 300k renovated houses in the bluff now.

Get money, get racial awareness and learn to invest in ourselves

No lies told. Just peep the housing prices in smaller cities. They climbing up too.

 

[Cadillac]

Atl been gentrified

How much of it is gentrification by Black ADOS Americans?

I heard black Americans are doing some of it.

 

[james green]

I thought Atlanta was the black Mecca though

It is. You just don't know what black Mecca means and you are black

A black mecca, in the United States, is a city to which African Americans, particularly singles, professionals, and middle-class families,[1] are drawn to live, due to some or all of the following factors:

• superior economic opportunities for blacks, often as assessed by the presence of a large black upper-middle and upper class
• black businesses and political power in a city
• leading black educational institutions in a city
• a city's leading role in black history, arts, music, food, and other cultures
• harmonious black-white race relations in a city

Atlanta its number one in all these catergories

Only care about your community when the white man likes it.
Black communities get gentrified when young people don’t want the house they grandma and grandpa had.

It's not the easy to just buy property outright, but realistically i don't see any other solution. You can't get fixed rate rent. but you can get a fixed rate mortgage.

I didn't know he was doing this

Hasn't happen yet because covid and transgender are his current legislative priorities but it was on his agenda, so people should get all their ducks in a row so they don't have to scramble or miss out once it is approved. He's proposing 15k AT CLOSING, you wouldn't have to wait to claim it on taxes, and it can be use to cover the down payment!
