Atlanta and it’s environs is actually really pretty. So much greenery. You hardly see that in many urban areas. If everything was kept up it wouldn’t be bad. You can be low income but you don’t have to have a low income gutter mindset and destroy all that is around you.
@@redqueen7533 I live in Metro ATL so I don't know what it's like living in these areas, but yes. I work downtown sometimes and I love how everything is so green. (the real downtown where all the buildings are isn't nearly as green) but there's definitely a lot of greenery here. I love it.
I'm from the Westside of Atlanta, and not all of the Westside looks like this. However off Bankhead it's pretty accurate... MEANING BANKHEAD ISN'T THE WHOLE WESTSIDE!!!!
Yeah, it looks like he's going threw a couple neighborhoods mostly. English Ave, Vine City and down Bankhead. This is or was The Bluff and it looked much worse at one point in time but it also looked better before and MLK's home when he was murdered is nearby. All these areas are going through major gentrification and will look completely different in 5 years or less. This is just one side of the westside.
This how i be when im in my semi truck. I be everywhere lol. Remember if you ever wanna find the hood in any major city...just find MLK Jr. Blvd and follow the path...should lead to the jects 🚛💨😂😂
It also help that he ain’t doin business with the locals lol… the only white people that aren’t cops that usually seem to survive the hood are the cable or satellite tv guys 🤣… oh and the white boys that deliver liquor to the liquor stores 🤣
Expensive cars and cheap housing; I remember as a kid in the late 60s and early 70s seeing neighborhoods just like this in Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and Flint, Michigan. There were tricked-out Cadillacs, Buick Electra 225s, and Pontiac Bonnevilles parked outside run-down apartments and shabby, neglected houses. Not much changes.
The houses aren't cheap actually lol most of them houses are 300,00$ they looked better back then it's just most the opl living there dont wanna move cuz it's been their family for generations or because they can t afford to move because noone would want to buy their house because its run down . Ur not fro here so dont judge
@@therealchucktaylor3392 that’s good, but I mean as a country too. When we came off the gold standard money and image soon after was worshipped and is at its height today. The country is doomed as we know it
I was born and raised on the WESTSIDE of Atlanta. And I turned out well. My family for the most part isn’t gutter. As a matter of fact my mom still has her house and the area is skyrocketing price wise. Half the time people won’t bother you unless you bother them.
I had to wait for the "Daylight View"! Woww! I don't know what to say... All this talk about "How great and iconic a southern US city that Atlanta has become over the years!", and here there are neighborhoods consisting of fields of garbage, vacant factories and business establishments, boarded up/burned out houses and apartment buildings, all of which some are randomly scattered, and some are packed all together! Thing is that people have the audacity to diss cities like Detroit, all while they don't even take the time to look in their own "barnyards"!
The harsh reality is when gentrification comes through they'll push the people out , clean the trash out and then rebuild it just like they did to east Atlanta ...When you don't take care of something you lose it ...
FACTS!! Moved here 7 years ago from a suburban town in PA. This place is filthy and it's a completely different type of poor. It's not all that folks pretend it to be. I'll be moving to FL in 2 more years. It's great to open and flourish Black owned businesses though...that's it.
Um sorry but that is a very small portion of the city. The rest is beautiful..can't say that about Detroit. The hoods in Atlanta still look better then the entire city of Detroit.
@@queenhadassah1211 if your not from there it’s a different feeling,I’ll go to my local city and not worry about anything, but it’s different especially if your not used to the area and what goes down over there.he basically goes blindly so mad props
Bro you should go to all the best soul food spots in the hood around the states while driving through..show a different side to it.. black business owners..
They are gentrifing that area right now. This looks like the old Bankhead. Two days ago the city opened up the biggest green space park in Atlanta right over there on the Westside. All those projects are gone and it's no longer called Bankhead it's West midtown now. Alot of what you're seeing in this vedio is longer there.
Right. Similar to “buckhead” making it a higher income area and building mansions. Atlanta is becoming less “black” all around population and politic-wise
@@jodecib4406 True. Years ago alot of black people started to move outside of Atlanta to Cobb County, Gwinnett County and white people started to move to Atlanta now that the gentrification is in full effect and developers are buying and remodeling those run down areas that were abandon and not kept up more and more white people are moving into those areas and it's changing the face of what the old neighborhoods use to look like and the property value has sky rocket and most blacks won't be able to live in those areas anymore. Those areas do look really nice but they'll not for the average black family.

And the new affordable houses will get torn up by the same hood folks that tore the old ones up lol ....A lot of people in these types of neighborhood simply can't take care of themselves , their families or their community ...
You mean off Bankhead Highway? I grew up in Bankhead...you have Bankhead projects and you have Bankhead Hwy...Bowen Homes projects sits right off Bankhead Hwy...can't understand why ppl don't talk about it. They changed Bankhead Ct. To Maynard Ct...Mayor Maynard Jackson helped the residents of Bankhead back in the days.
They have yet to gentrify the city's Westside area. But I'd say in 5 years this all will be gentrified drastically like how they did East Atlanta. It was the once the most violent side of the city now it's easily the most safe. They tore down all the hoods and rebuilt them, moved in the whites and I'm pretty sure either the Southside or westside is next.
