When I used to take a back road to avoid downtown traffic, I always felt confused watching the elementary school kids walk past the federal penitentiary everyday… that area is a desert
Big ass jail in the middle of the pj's hoods all around it shit crazy
You aren't forced to live there.
@@uup116 I don’t, as I stated before “driving the back road to work”
@@franb4797 That comment wasn't about "you"...as you often mistake.
That housing community was built on former prison land. Many may not believe this. But that land was cursed before those apartments were built on it. It's always good to pray 🙏🏽 🤲🏽 for The Most High 🙏🏽 to bless your home, property etc. 🙏🏽 and to remove any curses when moving in, and to keep 🙏🏽 praying these things while residing there. The Bible speaks of land, property, and houses being cursed and praying 🙏🏽 to remove 🙏🏽 them.
Yes! My sentiments exactlt.
Yes
Ween them people put something somewhere it's to hide what was there before these hoods was doing good before they poison our parents with drugs and alcohol our people didn't know one hit of crackrock was going to take thay hole life
Mz Yo TruthNLove, the facts are we destroy a lot, America was built on the Backs of Black's, positive Energy Bring Positive Results, NO Good Parenting is the Problem 15 year old kids with AR 15 ASSAULT GUNS IS NUT'S.
@@georgejones4866 how are guns and drugs all around us thank about that body parts make more money than drugs it's all by design our people don't get that
This was my home from 82 till about 87.. During the times of the missing and murdered children that was placed on Wayne Williams. . It was hard knock life there, I will be describing in detail, life in these projects! We were NOT demons, we were placed in deprived circumstance and left to self destruct.
In my book.. I will be describing life in this place, in detail.
You know better than most how dirty Atlanta is
@@Bringdastorm ....gonna be a good book💯🎭💯🎭💯🎭💯🎭💯🎭💯🎭!!!!
I wish people can work together in poverty situations and not shoot and kill each other 😢
@@Biracialbaddie ....yes LORD 🙏
praying for all the families to land secure housing, schooling, counseling, and employment opportunities. hopefully these people are getting the assistance they might need.
Yes, don't just replace them: train, counsel, instruct, so they'll do better.
@@moniqueuu8777 exactly, these communities need to be empowered!
They won’t, they never do.
This Georgia we’re talking about
@@moniqueuu8777 That's good also but this Complex is awful to the eyes. So call Black People need to learn to take care of their community. Stand together and cleanup from uncleanness as well as Drugs etc. Hope the pro are able to be replaced with housing.
How do you even let a place get this way though? Come on now. This is years and years of neglect.
I had to do a home visit as a case manager for DFCS. Boy..... that place was scary af. No joke.
The jail was like right across the street. Something out of a horror movie.
Unbelievable! I bet all the tenants are black too. Just shameful!
@@SPARKWISDOM They are. But imagine your the property manager and majority of your tenants are on Section 8. You continuously put in money to upkeep the property but the tenants don't keep it up either. Trash everywhere? etc.
I think that's why it's not maintained. I have a friend that responds over there and they say is really bad. The people don't seen to care. They should come together as a community and keep it clean. Anyway I hope the tenants find something and push to get out the system. The system isn't made for you to succeed, they want to keep you u Der their control. God Bless.
The real question should be how did the tenants let it get this way. No one else is responsible for governing YOUR home but you. Take pride in where you live
@@GeorgiaMade404706 Thank you, I don't understand. Those people over there are different. All black people are not the same.
@@GeorgiaMade404706 .. "take pride in where you live"...💯
This is why they did away with subsidized apartment complexes -- they eventually turn into "projects". And now that we have a housing shortage, and a homeless issue, those options are little to none. This is not just the end of an era in Atlanta, it was the same in Chicago when they tore down their projects, like the notorious ones like Cabrini Green and Robert Taylor Homes. But getting rid of the buildings didn't get rid of the gang problem. It just disbursed it all throughout Chicago which is the root of all the gang violence you hear about today. It's just a sad situation any way you look at it.
Exactly but y’all have fun lol I have seen what happens when people are trying to survive and don’t have nothing to loose y’all about to get robbed left and right and most people in four seasons is strapped I use to go out there with my sis to drop off her step son because his mom stayed there
Wait so Cabrini Green wasn’t made up in “Candyman?”
@@coriestyle6744 no they was a real project on the northside of Chicago
@@coriestyle6744 baybee them projects were very real couldn't help but look at the projects riding on the train
Wasn't "Good Times"
filmed in Cabrini Green?
It's about time and it's time.
God bless the families
Built brand new it was beautiful. Its the people that fucked it up
Naw fool the ppl didnt fuck it up the owner never fix shit and of course is going to be fucked up when you got tenants trying to fix shit
You’re absolutely correct! It’s an internal issue within the people. That is that part that so many don’t wanna discuss.
@@truehistory261 so you’re saying all of the evil that occurred in that place was due to the owner not fixing shit?🤨…. Yeah ok…. 😂😂
@@kingdomkidsmedia6395 what are you talking about the crime or the look of the buildings bc i was talking about the infrastructure of the apartments you want to talk about crime and the "evil" of the ppl get it right homie
@@truehistory261 Naw Fool! The placed is trashed just look at the photos
I'm thankful I never had to grow up in a place like this. But I grew up with ppl who did. Many of whom would feed me and give me the shirt off their back faster than someone who lived in the burbs.
I hope the good ones find a better place. And I hope the bad ones either change or be dealt with.
They could help you because we had to pay for them, stupid. These degenerates are a drain on society and you want to praise them?
This is why people hate you and move away from you when you arrive.
I was in a housing project briefly in the early 80s before it became a pure hellhole later. But even then it had a chemical stank and had mice. Fortunately my mom quickly chose other apartments in better areas.
Omg, i can't believe I went there and installed gutters and replaced fascia to some of it buildings, at some parts, my coworkers and me we were not able to use the ladder because they would sink into the wall because the walls bad condition, we work on that place one week because we had to refuse to keep working, each day there were multiple shootings, Kids would break the material that we had to leave there for next day, the wood we were using we found it every were and broken, I kept questioning why are they trying to fix something that is not possible to fix due many structural damages, this was around 7 years ago, and at that time for my opinion most of these buildings were not livable one because of the violence and two because of that building condition... What a memory!
😮 sad 😢
I’ve been there a few times, the tear down is long overdue
Those places was doing good before thay poison our people with Crack
If I were the CEO of the Four Seasons hotel chain, I would sue the owners of this dump for using my name and making my name look bad.
Four seasons hasn't been the official name in years.
this place has been TORN down 20 years ago!!
Nope! It’s still people living there
@@MiaMya396 I'm talking about the living conditions!!
💯
@Truth Speaks articulate dezzzzzzzz
@Truth Speaks Well, learn how to comprehend AND write a complete sentence properly. 😁
About time. I lived in Thomasville heights for a year & I’m glad my family got out of there. I use to have to pick people up when I drove for Lyft & I would be scared every time I had to go there. GOD covered me every time!
I’m from the west side but this definitely the end of an era for the real Atlanta
It is, only ones left on the westside is Allen temple
Gladstone apartments is the old Atlanta too which was announced the other day they shutting them down. It's other old Atlanta spots that was popular to the hood back in the day, some remodel and some still look the same but if you from those areas or been in those areas you would know (I'm real Atlanta) but Atlanta is not Atlanta no mo, this new Atlanta.
@@marchmadness23 I'm telling ya
@@marchmadness23 baby Gladstone been tore down my dad was the maintenance man
@@FalconsGirl1 when did they tear it down?
I growed up across the street at Thomasville Heights and went to Thomasville Heights Elementary and I'm so glad I didn't have it so bad as others my Mom made sure of that and plus my grandma lived at the top of the hill😞😞😞I seen a lot growing up looking out the window to say the least 🙏🙏🙏 Plus Thomasville Heights was in way better shape then Forest Cove and was demolished years ago and residents was forced to move suddenly!!It was a lot of older residents by the way reach they got vouchers to move but they all started to pass away one after the next right after including my Grandma 🙏🙏🙏They was taking from somewhere they was comfortable at and placed here and there and it took a toll on them Rip Grandma Barbara,Ms Betty,Ms Matty Pearl and everyone else 🙏🙏
Everything free from the government
this place was a straight up warzone..TOODLES
🤣🤣🤣
Toodles!
The whole Old Atlanta was, but it was a place we called home
Funny af
Str8 out of the hood movies...... and the Red Dogs were no joke back in the day; no respect for anyone. I didn't stay there, but visited. On my last visit back in 2009 during a pop up raid, I was done. My friends had to come meet me somewhere else. RIP to this place.
Those places was doing good before thay poison our parents with drugs and alcohol
It will not be missed. So much violence and death has happened there.
The problem is these people start invading the nice areas and turn it just as bad
It happened to my area as they shut down school and houses in the projects those people came to our nice schools and housing and it went downhill
@@abagofmilk3819 with the cost of rent, they’re going to start being pushed to the outskirts on nowhere
Red Dawgs (Drug Task Force) beat me down thinking I was a dealer running from them and I was training for track they didn’t apologize or nothing.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
Glad you made it out....shid😭...apology???
I thank God myself, that they didn't kill you....
Yeah I definitely remember the red dog. Although I was a kid during that time I most certainly didn't get in there way
Yes that was his reputation robbing the alleged drug dealers and it didn’t matter if you was getting off the transit bus(Marta) he would empty your pockets.
MY MOTHER DIED IN HER APARTMENT HERE WEEKS AGO AND IM 100 PERCENT SURE IT WAS FROM THE MOLD INFESTATION HERE
Sorry RIP to your mother may you find comfort in know she’s not suffering anymore
Sad for the older or younger people who tried to keep their neighborhood up and might become homeless. I hope they consider those who tried, keep them protected at all cost.
We used to gather the old mattresses and discarded tires from the hill cradled the bottom (New Town circle) if you looked in the opposite direction, just beyond a massive barbed wire fence, was the Federal Prison grounds. We used to stack several tires between 2 sets of discarded mattresses and do flips over the tires. We used to pick black berries from the briars and thorns on the hill. There was a couple of apartments that used to sell candy, frozen treats and pickles, we used to stick a peppermint stick in the middle of the HOT 🔥flavored pickles. The candy lady used to sell Chico sticks, Lemonheads, Cherry clan, and Now and Laters, cakes and individual pies.. We used to go to the open field during spring and fly kites, seems like everyone in the projects went to Tanner's to buy kites.. sometimes life there was alright. .
My Grandmother Mrs. Moody use to be the candy lady back in the 80's life was okay back then as a kid despite all the shootings when the drug's came I remember the Prisoners use to throw tennis ball over the gate and we as kids use to try and pick the balls up and we found that the ball would be cut open with white powder in them, hell we did not know it was drug's and the older guy's like Baby James use to tell us to put those balls back down then they would throw the balls back over the gate. I remember picking black berry's and and catching bee's in a bottle and hitting backwards flips but there was a dude who was our age his name was lil deck he was the best backwards flip dude in 4seasons but he stayed on the other side of Newtown Circle I can go on about the memories of 4seasons but what I will never forget was hearing back in the 80's probably like 79" We use to hear about two twin girls getting drowned in the sewer drain that was way back on the left side at the bottom of 4 seasons and we as kids use to be scared to play back there in the back but I remember 1 of my friend's getting killed as a kid we was not supposed to go across the red light street to get to Towners and Good buddy's but my friend named Shon he had an older sister but can't remember her name but shon was trying to cross the street on his big wheel him and his cousin and they both got hit by a truck and died also we all use to play throw up tackle on the field as a kid I think I was like 8 or 9 and I remember a guy name Kenny Brew was the qtrb for Fulton Highschool and a guy named booby won the highschool championship against Valdosta back in the 80's I remember boobys mom selling ice cream and freezers I remember the police use to come and chase older dude's while they shot dice, and we use to call the police officer friendly and they would pick up the money and give it to us I remember baby James use to have the black Cadillac car one of the cleanest cars and my cousin kk has a sky blue delta 88" with the white interior with the white sunroof top with the beat in it I remember us as kids playing basketball and base ball with sticks and a tennis ball and we used a rock ontop of a paper plate for second base and home and the green airconditioners was first and 3rd base and I remember we use an old wheel barrel and a big piece of wood board or a big brick and we used it to make a ramp and we'd jump over those ramps with our huffy bikes
@@antoniomckissic5402 i believe I remember Mrs Moody, I vaguely remember Ollie moody too. I remember Baby James. There was a kid named Homer, he stole my Swatch watch that I worked hard for.. I was 15, and I worked for Mr. Martin, the owner of the Thomasville Fina gas station. I used to flip with Lil Deck too! I was called Samir.. I remember that a person was drowned in the sewer, right before we moved into New Town circle. My first house party was in New Town circle, when it was time to slow drag, I got to dance with Brina and her cousin Val, we danced to "I call your name, and I wanna be with you, by the group Switch." Their little cousin Beetle Red was a young boy who just looked on as we danced. The bus for school would take us over to Lakewood elementary school, just past the large Ford automotive plant on the opposite side of the federal penitentiary. I remember walking from New Town circle to the Boys and Girls club to swim. We had to walk through the cemetery, it was a confederate burial ground. There was a really dark skinned kid named Eugene White, they called him Boo, he always tried to be a bully. There was also a boy at Lakewood elementary school whose name was Kyle Ferguson, he was a white kid who was a bully too, my friend Antonio Obie later told me that Kyle hung himself.
Yep I grew up with beetle red and his brother kojack and his sisters also homer and his brother Mike was no joke
@@antoniomckissic5402 I believe we may know each other.. I was called Samir in those days... Do you know Eric Denson, his cousin Garnett? Skeets, Fluky (female) Anthony Williams, had a sister Pamela I think, and a brother named Fu-chi? On the other side, there was a beautiful girl named Lay-lay, had a brother named Lil Mike?
That place is unreal. You can see the convicts walking the yard. Weave beer bottles and and what's left behind after a blunt
About time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you guys start cleaning up all the trash 💯💯💯 this is amazing news now clean up the rest of the areas zones 1,3,4,5,6 please ‼️‼️‼️
This is great tho great for the city tear it down build some more condos
More condos means more expensive homes because homes will be limited. Let's see how people like it when homes go for a stupid high price
@@lionl8250 I mean it gets the hood people out that’s all that matters lol
@@funnyguy1ben730 don't complain when you start getting " hood people" in your neighborhoods. You sound quit ignorant pal

Im living in south florida and not worried about a damn thing about y'all Atlanta MF. You people out there are so worried about being the first to show off but yet y'all broke. Lol
It should have been demolished.
Damn
Yes thank you for speaking up!!
Some folks belong away from functional society
Went to Thurgood Marshall middle with Thomasville and 4 seasons back in the day it's was a movie everyday
The people should be glad and relieved they’re demolishing that hell hole. Why want to stay in that situation 🤯
Because it’s their only option especially with the way housing is. We don’t really have subsidized homes anymore a lot of those people don’t qualify for ANY apart.
This all they had
@@stephybobo1991 people make stuff like this their only option. It's so many programs and different housing around the city. Some folks just like that lifestyle. The people who really wanted to get out, got out. We gotta stop making excuses and hold people accountable.
Sometimes its easy to get stuck in the projects!
Good! I feel bad for the people still living there with kids, no doors, no ac, no lights, burned units. People are still living there
Their called squatters
Okay.
Why haven't they left yet ?
You still broke when you living in the hood so you're stuck you barely making $600 $700 rent it's impossible to move into middle class when you're not making middle class earnings
It's looks turn down, delapidated, ppl live there? I'd be glad to move into better affordable housing: a clean, fresh, less decrepit home if I were a resident.
John Hope, Carver Homes.(RIP)....let's take care of our communities the best way we can
Not to be confused with The Four Seasons Hotel
At all!
This was home to myself, my children, brother, mother and stop father for a time of six years. I had my own apartment there up the hill and my mother had her own down the hill. At the time that we became residents of Forest Cove Apartments, we desperately needed a place to call home. My mother had lost her section 8 and I had gone through the breakup of my children's father, so we basically let our house go. I didn't know it at the time that I could have just kept my house! Anyway, a lot went on out there that was just horrible, but among all of the bad things, there was some good. A few good neighbors and beautiful children. A whole mobb of people surrounded the front of my mothers apartment trying to fight my daughter and brother 😒. When I threw my daughter a 16th birthday party, my brother was on his way up the hill when out of no where some man shot my brother in his backside. 😔 😥 My brother has severe scoliosis among other mental issues, however he loves children, and he loves God. He always fix bikes for kids in the neighborhood and buy them candy and small toys. My brother never even knew the guy who had shot him. It was heartbreaking to say the least. I always worked either two jobs or one job and school was my thing. I liked our apartment, however it had loads of roaches and eventually rats had come too!
Why could remodeling the forest Cove apartments.
@@rolando90s It needed to come down a long time ago. You remember leaving to go to work and it was water raining down inside of my leaving room! And still doing so when I returned home. It didn't stop for over a period of two weeks believe it or not! I'm thinking that the water heater must have burst or something? But eventually it got fixed, bit the water damage was still underneath the sub flooring I'm sure. A lot the residents when I was there really worked hard and loved their children, while others hung out saling drugs and or saling butt. There were fights all over the place and one woman put her son and his friends up to jump on my boys. My youngest boy ran to my mother's apartment 😢, while my older boy got beat on by her son and his friends. My boys weren't the king of children to start or be in fights at all! My children weren't angry do to missing meals or not having the essential things that children need in order to have at least close to normal for a proper upbringing. Those children were taught to fight each other and how to be good enemies with their own neighbors. My children and I were down at my mother's apartment looking out of a window and saw one young male holding a gun to another one's head, 😢 while pulling the very dreads from his head! And fired the gun directly next to the young guys head! I saw a whole robbery taking place when I had gone to pick up my children from my mother's apartment after we had moved from the complex. The young man that I saw being robbed ended up coming to my car wearing only his underwear and socks. I let him get into my car along with my boys. I took him down Moreland Ave., let him use my phone to call the police and to call and cancel all of his credit cards that had been took from him along with his wallet. The thugs also took the man's girlfriends car that he had driven over there. I witnessed the guys still driving said vehicle days later after the robbery. This another reason why Forest Cove Apartments should been torn down! A woman who's family that i used to do their hair, her son was killed right outside of my then mother's apartment! Killed! It wasn't even that bad when we lived in East Lake Meadows back in the day. Forest Cove was off the chain! I didn't date anyone the whole six years that I lived there because they would seemingly rob anyone who didn't live there or know somebody that knew somebody!
@@MsAchampion praise God you lived to tell the story and change the trajectory of your children’s futures.
Yeah, it was the earlier 80s for me at that place. Now once the Crack cocaine was introduced into that place, it got real bad real fast.
Bless your heart Untie 🖤
They come and look at royal oaks apartments because they are just like 4 season apartments in bad condition
Yup terrible
Don't worry, they will be next on the list to be demolish
Ain't no way in hell I'll go in there
LMFAO
May not leave.
Had a coworker go there to do cable. They didn’t allow red at that time in that area. They ripped his shirt, broke his hand, robbed him etc. He was a rookie and needless to say he quit
I remember they built a fence around the entire projects and added a gate in Thomasville Heights and you had to use your driver's license to get in and tell them what apartment you were going to and tell them the owners name and they write it on this pad!!But really they put the gate up to keep crimes in and so when the Red Dogs chase them boys they had nowhere to run!! One way in one out type of thing😞😞Them Red Dogs was fast and mean they use to drop them boys on they head on the concrete for making them run and chase them everytime
Met shawty ova there five yrs ago in Aug, what a bumpy road, just like them Apartments…
😭😭😂
it's a mess, they've destroyed it,
Who is they ??? See stupid ppl like you would think ppl destroy this place if you owned something and you want it to look nice you would let ppl do anything to destroy it you would kick them out right....they want this place to look like shit these ppl have been asking for maintenance and never get anything fixed so its going to look like shit dummy
Low income is another name for poor people. It was a containment zone.
They can't contain their own impulsive behavior or ignorance.
They're a thorn in society's side until they prove otherwise.

I’m so glad!!! Pray every can get relocated with reasonable rent.
My mom owned shops in the area and not to mention I grew Up in the area. It hurts my heart to see all of these deaths occur.🥺
One thing about America's housing projects are they were once built to house soldiers during war or built as upper-class housing. Once housing had to be affordable for minorities, they were neglected. I lived in housing projects as a child and we all had to damn near walk on coal to get things done. No heat, no air, crime..the list goes on. Even if you did find a luxury like an air conditioner, the housing management would question how you got it and how can you afford it and go up on rent. My father scrambled to get us out of there. When we did, we never looked back. Alongside of the barrack style buildings and gates, it felt like we were prisoners. Now I understand that some of us can't afford to leave housing projects...but the want to leave and live in better environments has to hit you time to time.
I've been in Atlanta for over a decade and I've never heard of this area.
that is surprising
You’re lucky then. It’s terrible.
You ain't been in Atlanta
@@alxemcee Exactly. They been in areas being called Atlanta, but it's not.
You much live in North Atlanta…
Before they tear it down this whole hood should be 3D scanned and turned into a FPS map. When I saw CharlieBo313's walk thru of the place all I could think was this would be an amazing FPS map.
Finally they kept saying it would be remodeled I got impatient and left best choice I ever made ❤
My wife and her 2 sisters lived there early 1990s..When Thomasville Heights was still up..My daughters aunt in law lived there too in the early 1990s..✌
I stayed in 4 seasons with my Grandmother and Grandfather back 1980 til the Russian police got killed and my grandmother saw something I did not see as a kid that 4 seasons was changing for the worse I even saw a older guy while getting home from 1st grade that I will never forget that a guy named Eric Lett who was shot in the head while sitting on a green air-condition but I will never forget seeing his lifeless body slumped over side way's then after that it was a all out war with the Miami Boys and the Jamaican boys who came and flooded 4 seasons with drug's and from there back in the 80's it got worse but so many memories

Yall fighting but not taking care of the properties.
Exactly! Upset about being replaced into affordable homes when their homes appear uninhabitable. Lost/confused!
Lord Jesus please help my fellow ATL brothers & sisters
Used to do the grounds with my crew in 2016. It was so much trash when i got there. furniture was everywhere but we managed to make it work. We stayed until 2019 and then when new management came in and just went haywire. Had to go. Sad to see like this now.
I stayed at the Four Seasons once. I don't remember it looking like this.
You talking bout the hotel? or those specific apartments off of mcdonough boulevard right by moreland avenue
Yeah right. It's always looked like Pakistan for 40 years now. Ijs
This will be the last of the projects in Atlanta , gentrification has already started but they're really pushing it now
No it started back in 1994 leading up to the 96 Olympics.
That's why then mayor Shirley Franklin had all of the projects demolished around the city.
Before she took office she said once she leave all of the Major projects will be gone, She was the mayor for 8 years the projects were gone in 5.
Tech wood homes Bank headcount Hollywood courts Just to name a Few were gone. 4 seasons and Thomasville were not on front street that's why they stayed Occupied as long as they did.
Praying 🙏 that all the families find warm, safe, .......JOBS!
I feel sorry for them. But It’s a dump. They gotta let it go. Hopefully they replace it with a tax credit property.
They won't. They didn't the others.
Democrats are making people homeless
Don't rely on continued assistance. Once they help you get into a new place, find a way to make sure you can keep it on your own. It seems to me that aid and assistance programs are being phased out. Better to figure out how to make it on your own.
It's time .them apartments been there since I was a child and even when my parents was teenage back then .and I am in 30 .even through they are affordable but it's run down
The reporter came a long way I remember when she reported for a small internet new company. She even did young mazi story
They're afraid of the law because law puts them in prison don't get it twisted sister.
The law also terrorizes, beats down and kills the innocents as well with no apology.
Wouldn't you just be thrilled with all these people moving into your apartment complex🤣🤣
Exactly, the residents tore and destroyed the homes. If they want to stay, let them stay.
Not at all
You will be thrilled very soon. They have to move them somewhere. And they will be moving into your community with all kind of vouchers to live there. Enjoy!
Hell naw
@@chocon8818 I live in a little town of about 2200 people only one set of apartments no Section 8 I rarely see a black man here. I live in the Ozark Mountains the white man's ghetto they ain't coming here🤣🤣
Big investors can not wait to get their hands on this land🤤..
The people of this community were the problem more than the building! I blame it on the gangs , drugs, murder, crime, etc. The people of this community literally lowered the property value.

Have not been in that direction so long, that I had no idea this neighborhood was still there....does not even look like apart of Atlanta.
They should make it affordable if they build some more apartment
Amen.... affordable housing💯
But see the thing is even it they make it “affordable” the problem is within the hearts of the people. This is the part that no one wants to discuss. Four seasons is in the condition that it’s in because the people that lived there made it that way.

@@kingdomkidsmedia6395 Not necessarily, and certainly not alone. If you are Black, shame on you with your comment, with not knowing the history of all hoods in this country. These projects, and hoods, was not a mishap, but a well crafted plan spearheaded by the Government. They started off being neglected by the government by designed. Most of them was built with poor quality materials, and not maintenance properly. Some of the older families that lived there probably was forced to sell a house that they owned, or was will down to them, that the govt sought would be good for projects, like the creation of I-285, and was not given the true worth of the property the govt forced them to sell. Pick up a book, read ur history, before you utter such foolishness. It be your own kind speaking that bvllshit.
@@kingdomkidsmedia6395 true
Being poor is no excuse for being NASTY. Have some pride and clean up your mess.
As long as this isn’t an underhanded way of gentrifying the neighborhood instead of making it affordable and better for its current residents, then I’m all for it. 🤷🏾♀️
You and I both know how that's gonna go down. Many major cities are so called reclaiming the cities back. It's definitely gonna be gentrified. But here's the thing: this is where WE as a people have to level up and slowly but surely build our own stuff.
@@LeeDfined Even if they did do all that and make it a newer and better neighborhood. It's hard to change people. It would turn right back into the projects a few years later. It's sad but true.
@@LeeDfined I would say that that was part of the plan to let the apartments get in such a state of disrepair that they now have no choice but to remove all tenants and either remodel or rebuild.
No one should have to live like that.
I wish I had the funding to reconstruct and secure those apts for good people live good there..
Thanks goodness!!
What’s the name of the song on 0:18
About time
If y'all do not know what's going on look what they did over there by the old Atlanta braves stadium Georgia State is about to buy all of that
Yeah, me and partnas use to visit this place a couple of time at night back in the early 2000’s….This place should have been torn down years ago though…
Whats the name of the song
I swear i thought they was talking about the 4 season hotel lol!
They need to fine the property management company, start punishing their companies for their slumlord behaviour. They had over 150 violations. Letting units stay boarded up and condemened while still renting out apartments next to it. I'm glad the residents are getting help but the property management company should be made to pay all of the costs with demolition and relocation.
Exactly but constantly blame us for the way it looks like we own it!
Is this managed by the Millennia Housing Managment based out of Cleaveland Ohio If so another SLUMLORD in action.
Damn a lotta nights between that horseshoe
I been in four seasons and I use to date a chick in Thomasville Heights back in the day before they torn it down along with the other projects and apartment (The Old Atlanta) I miss the real Atlanta
Thank God! This is neighborhood improvement.
The HUD housing they once had was best because there were housing code rules and tenant rights that had to be adhered to or no payments and other punishments on owners. Since atlanta got rid of their HUD housing so those housing code rules and tenant rights went out the door for everyone else. Just look at the new apartments in atlanta now, apartments falling apart with no renter friendly laws. Atlanta got rid of many poor just so they could fail. Mistreat the poor and everyone will pay.
Because Atlanta is a democratic city and that's why it's junk.
Is it tore down now? To this date?
It was prison land already so it started off bad from the beginning
🎯🎯🎯 right when i heard that, thats all i needed to kno
Thank god🙏🏽
Most big cities are getting rid of their large housing project developments.
EXACTLY!
Yep, ppl need to take they're butts to work like a normal American...
It's sad well elect these people into office and they steal money and forget about the needy! Prayers for Atlanta my city needs healing #deathtrap
But we still vote and get nothing....smdh
Exactly! They NEVER use the tax dollars 💵 to uplift the communities that really need it & provide jobs so they can have a good living & purchase property. They work to keep people impoverished & gentrify the area for Whites.
Four seasons: the irony.....
The owner was being sarcastic when he named it
Projects in Oakland city and the temp all that left
The problem isn’t the buildings it’s the people. I don’t know what needs to be done but something needs to be done to fix the people in these housing projects. I doubt dispersing them to other places will fix the issue though. Also with the housing crisis could they not have waited a year or two for the current home bubble to pop before sending these impoverished people out to find a house or a rental when rents and home prices are at all time highs ?
If the parents are poison then what happens to the kids
Its never the building, its always the people!! So tearing down the building solves nothing.
I don't know what this is. Looks like an abandoned apt in war torn Ukraine.
Thank God
Now they will come south to City of south Fulton. I hope we can make a good example and keep the community descent.
I use to run around and got into plenty fights in 4 seasons. Lived there in elementary school to
You seem to be part of the problem
These four seasons families; are Transported from: Florida, Alabama ,Mississippi ,Louisiana after the hurricanes hit.
It’s been a long time since I been out there
Good it’s just one big trap house. Nothing good comes happens over there. Praying for the few (if there are any) good, honest, sober families that are there bc they truly can’t afford another place are able to find better, safer housing. To the rest of them that stand outside all day slinging powder in front of children that ppl od on, shooting & robbing their own neighbors, I want to write them off & say they can stay over there in that pile of ruin but by tearing that place down maybe it will be the change of environment those people might need to live their life a little differently. Truly I hope all of those residents are able to find housing in a better, safer environment. Just being able to feel safe in your own home can change a persons entire mentality. Less ppl selling drugs means less od, prostituting, less children seeing that next to their playground or thinking that’s a role model, less robbing and shooting, less teens/ women pregnant w a child they can’t care for. Sometimes a change of environment can have a profound affect. I hope it does for the children at least. They deserve better.
Hopefully these people can find a new home but with all that crime and murder that shit gotta go real talk.
@@ConsidertheCrows #1 how can you move something that was destroyed? 😅 #2 sure move everyone of them over here what's that like 150 people? What's that going to do? you think everyone of those people are criminals or something? When you group a bunch of low-income housing together what do you think is going to happen? People are so fucking racist they can't even use common sense. Like they say though "Common sense isn't so common" 😜😜
Thank you Lyndon Johnson for producing this Hell Hole in Atlanta.
