I enjoy your videos, but as an Atlanta native who has lived in midtown her entire adult life, I can help but wonder where the poor, predominantly Black citizens of all the 'gentrified' areas showcased in your videos were displaced to. Since you are not a native Atlantan, you can't imagine what the areas with $1million properties were like back in the day - ironically, you would have been hesitant to walk the sidewalks during those days. It actually makes me feel a bit nauseous to see the prices and also the destruction of beautiful, classic Atlanta neighborhoods with 'modern' monstrosities being built. How do so many people have so much money? Gentrification is a two-edged sword - the poor will always be the losers.
I don't have an answer to that and you are not the only one with the same question. I have been here 13 years and remember what some of these neighborhoods were like before all the changes. I had helped a couple buy a home in Reynoldstown off of Wylie Street for $400K and remember when I thought that was crazy expensive for the area. Things have changed fast in Atlanta and I can't honestly say where some of these residents were displaced to.
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlantathose days she talking about are well gone. Yes those areas used to be “hood” but most of them folks have move to the suburbs to raise their kids, yes some was pushed out. But in the long run. I feel like it was better for Atlanta. Atlanta also because the trendy city. What happens in trendy cities?! The price goes up.
@@Nofairwrld yeah, similar story to the Old Fourth Ward area. It was not a warm/fuzzy place to stroll around. Ponce City Market and the Beltline changed all that.

Could you tour some west side neighborhoods like Washington Park or Ashview Heights or south side in Historic College Park?
I've been meaning to do one on Historic College Park. Will try to work on that.
Great information. You really showcase the excitement and glow of the beltline. Great job.
Thanks for watching. I like that word "glow." Great way to describe it.

They go to the cheap suburbs on the east, west, or south side. Same as the people who were displaced by the Olympics.
