“I find it interesting that in the majority of cities, no one really wants to live on MLK street/boulevard.”

Yeah, and you should also avoid any area having a “Brotherhood Way!”

Never thought about that one. In San Francisco, "Brotherhood Way" was designed to be a boulevard for churches and places of worship. Back in the 1950s and 1960s we used it as a drag strip for hot rods, until the city began using the police to bust up the races, and built concrete barriers to stop the races. I used to race my '56 and '63 Chevys there and got caught up in a bust-up by police with the police chief checking out my engine.

Anyway, in the last decade the city broke the rules against non-worship buildings and started planning and building residential housing, ruining the peaceful religious context. It was "Brotherhood Way" long before any "brothers" inhabited it.
