- Oakland City, a rough and tumble neighborhood in southwest Atlanta, is gentrifying. We went there last weekend to ask people about that.

I think some of its original inhabitants were optimistic and hopeful . However, they seem naive to the fact that FULL GENTRIFICATION was the plan and it didn't include them.
Sad..
Preach
tough to figure out how to feel about this. my own city, milwaukee is steadily changing like this. interesting
It’s called gentrification watch um 🤔
Gentrification bro I’m from Milwaukee the most segregated place in the country
The low ends it’s starting to be like this for tho I seen a couple homes getting renovated
I’m from Milwaukee to but moved to Atlanta and your right
It's really evil towards Black people! It's easier to TAKE a poor black neighborhood than to go and clear off Land somewhere! Pushing black out of areas they grew up in!!! They don't want blacks to move in their neighborhoods, but come in and TAKE BLACKS neighborhoods 😡 how evil is that!?
I don't think that old white guy realizes that if you're taking a tour looking for investment properties with a bunch of other boomers to bring in "law abiding tenants" you're part of the problem. Gentrification and economic distress in traditionally minority neighborhoods is a super complicated set of issues that don't have an easy cause or solution to, but you can be damned sure that anyone looking to make a profit off of the solution to those problems is not actually part of the solution.
Also, anytime someone says, "I got a good price" for the piece of property, it means they squeezed the owner. It matters if you're talking about buying an investment property off of someone who owns and lives there, especially when a home is usually the most valuable thing most people ever own.
All he is doing is pushing to the south side of Atlanta causing more crime
I've been to this area, met some nice folks who lived there for years. Due to a lot of violence and crime, the property value went down and investors saw a lick. I hope. that lady isn't forced to sell her property.
he said “suburban flight” european man just say racist white flight segregation after its was made illegal
Exactly it's white flight, that's why MARTA hasnt expanded into the southern, western suburbs and Eastern DeKalb where ethnic or lower income people live at. They don't want them to come into the area where they live at.
Yeah but how is good. When some people who live Atlanta who can't afford the high rent. Who can't afford to get a house being pushed to other areas of Atlanta that isn't Safe.
The white guy explained gentrification 🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
Pushing poor blacks out! With no where to go!!! 😢
These ppl will regret there decisions when little Timmy starts thinking he’s black
Most every other race think they are black.
Or get clapped at lol
Now for "Lil Baby"...technically Oakland City was not his neighborhood...as far as living. Lil Baby lived over in I think Westview because his mom would always come to Oakland City looking for him to bring him back home....he would keep coming down to "hang out" but address wise he was not Oakland city...as far as address wise...Lil baby came thru same time the newer white people been coming thru. Interestingly, alot of the black people you see in Oakland City today ALSO came thru with the newer white people, there is quite a bit of the black people in Oakland City today that recently moved there in the last few years and some of them moved there from out of state. A very large portion of the old black families of Oakland city are now living in East point, college park, fayetteville, riverdale, and hapeville. About 7 years ago most of Oakland City was a ghost town of empty houses (we talking like 1 out of every 2 house).
You just going off of what you heard from the documentary I’m not tryna hear dat shit
@@london6507 I'm born and raised Oakland City....I'm 4th generation Oakland city....one of the Oakland City Playaz....care to try me?
@@TheREALDJFruitLoops yeaaaa I peeped all them newer cheap apts in east point popping up out the blue.. Most of them got bought up quick as a mf too
@@realauthenticcoolboy7204 Yup I been seeing them going fast in East Point
Exactly. My dad is a carpenter, painter, and house renovator( we hail from East Point) and he is emotional about how many homes from what HE considers historical Atlanta he has had to flip only for a white couple to live their. He lived through the Atlanta Child murders and expresses how wild it is how fast the city is changing. “When I was a kid, none of them would have been living here. Imagine how different things would have been.”
Its gonna become like Clarkston/Stone Mountain/Decatur or like big dude said Kirkwood, or some areas of the Nawfside like Roswell/Duluth/Sandy springs where u literally drive 10 mins and a few turns from the apartments where ppl get shot and dope get sold and find yourself where they got half million dollars homes and up.
The homeless are moving up to the Northern suburbs from those gentrified areas in Atlanta.
Despite me being extremely worried about Atlanta, my only question is how can you ethically move closer or to a different part of the city without gentrifying a neighborhood?
By living in the suburbs with middle class minorities 🤷🏾♂️. I mean everyone lives in the suburbs, that's probably the best thing to do
If you’re white, stay in northern atlanta. Let legacy black folks capture the economic growth in the city by letting them build black neighborhood enclaves in the southern part of the city.
I'm a 5th generation Oakland City (on both sides of my family, although some of my family is 3rd generation)...3rd generation (I can't remember off hand if my Great grandparent was born in Oakland city but I do have grand parents born in Oakland city) to be specifically born in Oakland City. There has been 2 different gentrifications in Oakland city...Bush Mountain is legit early 1900's black community, Dimmock st is old school Black, but rest of Oakland City was entirely white until around like somewhere in the 1960's when white people started slowly moving out which brought the first gentrification...by the 1970's there was still quite a bit of white people in Oakland City and into 80's...by the 90's there was only 2 white families left....I'm the last standing person of the old white Oakland City families...back in the day a large portion of Oakland City was either my blood family or family by marriage (my family also owned close to 20% of Oakland city during the 60's and 70's). So what we are seeing in present time is the "2nd" gentrification Oakland city has gone thru. But now over in Bush mountain and on Dimmock street we are somewhat seeing a first time Gentrification (I can confirm Dimmock as far back as 1938 was being rented to black people only...however was owned by white people....while bush mountain I think goes back to about 1910 for the black community). Around 1969-1972, there was this program put in place that was specifically for people of color that was designed to turn Oakland city into a specifically all black community (I would have to think back to remember name of the program).
You said nothing.. You repeated yourself again and again
@@5822huron Just the FACTS...
quality!
Buy all these homes, the poor community can move on. There is money to be made
Oakland City was a dump. This dude is not in reality
Was this Georgia Gentrification before @COVID19?
What do you believe that now COVID-19 is not as life taking as the original week it is televised?
Revised So Many Times.

Fixing those houses will only move the struggling out . The crime will be the same because it’s still the same area . This reminds me of Chicago, it’ll only get worst
The north side got much better actually
It’s Called gentrification
I’m all for newer development but they should make a system where the people who owned houses there can have fixed property tax rates, and get rid of lowball offers towards vulnerable homeowners who want to sell, they should have enough equity to be able to find a new home in an affordable neighborhood.
These houses look nice how is it hood
They were all abandoned once that’s why they said they’re renovated. The nicer homes are new and weren’t there a few years ago
Ikr. Theyre nice houses if done up a little
