But here’s the thing about it, having been a cop in that city.

You still have, for the most part, the ghetto of South and West Atlanta. Although with the Beltline continuing to be developed and some other developments in the works, that’s changing. But who’s moving in after the redevelopment? Liberal white folks from up north, chasing jobs.

Then as you move east, through the city, through Morningside, Virginia Highlands, Inman Park, Little Five Pts and into the City of Decatur and Toco Hills/Emory(which the city is annexing, I think) and it’s nothing but uber liberal, wealthy, WHITE FOLKS. And they are the ones that have kept Lewis in office, even though he does absolutely NOTHING, for years.

Toss in all the high rises that are and have popped up in the midtown and downtown area, again, being filled with liberal, empty nesters, gays, and northern liberals chasing jobs.

It’s still a very segregated city. Hell, the mayor recently told the black residents of west Atlanta to hold out as long as they could. Well, that’s all fine and dandy, but when their property taxes start going thru the roof and some hipster, techie shows up to make an offer, they’ll take it or lose the house to the tax man.

Then thrown in Augusta, Savannah and some pockets in northern Dekalb Cty and the northern suburbs from East Cobb, East Cherokee, across north Fulton, where tons of northerners have moved to, and unfortunately, Stacy Abrams has a very decent chance of being the Governor of Georgia. As disgusting and sickening as that is.

However, all the blame rests on the Governors and their quests to lure big tech businesses, and the like, because that’s where all the money is. And they promised Georgian’s would reap the windfall with all those highpaying jobs. Not so much. All those jobs went to the northerners that followed their companies, south, and now they’re bring the same liberal BS with them.
