Previously on SBPDL: “White Women Jog and Walk Their Dogs on Streets That [black] Drug Dealers Once Ruled”: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Laments Whites Have Made Martin Luther King’s Birthplace in Atlanta a Thriving Community

 

For decades, large portions of Atlanta have been majority black and entirely devoid of legitimate economic activity.

Property values were shockingly low, reflecting the fair market value of these communities of color.

Guess what?

White people, who had long abandoned the city of Atlanta for the safe suburbs just Outside the Perimeter (living outside I-285, the massive highway circling Atlanta), decided to move back Inside the Perimeter.

By so doing, these white people bought inexpensive (often egregiously neglected) homes in majority black communities, acting as urban pioneers to return civilization to areas whose only economic activity consisted of drug deals and hookers turning tricks for a Tubman $20 bill.

This even includes the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr., an area now thriving due to the influx of whites via gentrification. Only 20 years ago, this same real estate was entirely occupied by black residents where “drug dealers once ruled.”

But white people moving back to Atlanta and resurrecting long economically dead communities (all almost entirely occupied by blacks) represents a great threat to black control of the city.

So the current black mayor has decided to issue a moratorium on development near Grove Park, a historically black community (currently 93 percent black) because white people moving into the community has the strange tendency to immediately raise property valuations. Once, when occupied almost entirely by blacks, neighborhoods across Atlanta had cheap property available for single-family homes because this real estate had barely any demand.

This lack of demand was a reflection of the majority black community and the conditions they created for social capital to flounder. But as whites move in, social capital strangely flourishes and houses start to appreciate.

Strange.

The Visible Black Hand of Economics at work… [Fearing gentrification, Atlanta mayor issues moratorium on development near Westside Park: Neighborhoods around the future park, particularly Grove Park, are seeing rapid rises in home values., 11 Alive, February 18, 2020]:

Following in the footsteps of neighborhoods such as the Old Fourth Ward and the West End, Grove Park would seem an obvious candidate to become the latest of Atlanta’s notorious gentrification stories.

The gleaming new Westside Park has a tentatively planned opening for 2021. Slated to become the largest greenspace in the city, it promises to transform the surrounding areas.

That could be welcome in Grove Park, a historically black neighborhood that borders the south half of the Westside Reservoir, where the park is being built, and was hit especially hard by the financial crisis – if its residents can stay there and reap the benefits.

ORDER IT NOW

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced a moratorium on new development activity around Westside Park on Monday. It’s an apparent effort to plan ahead and curb runaway gentrification in the area before it hits, the way it has in other neighborhoods – particularly where the BeltLine has brought an explosion of development activity.

RELATED: Atlanta is rapidly gentrifying. Here’s where.

“A key pillar to the Administration’s comprehensive affordable housing plan is ensuring long-term residents are not priced out of the neighborhoods they have built,” Mayor Bottoms said in a release. “We know that every permit triggers some form of change in these communities, and it is of the utmost importance that development is carried out in a deliberate, fair and thoughtful manner.”

The moratorium is slated to last 180 days – about six months – and will apply to “new applications for rezonings, building permits for new construction, land disturbance permits, special use permits, special administrative permits, subdivisions, replattings, and lot consolidations for non-public project.”

It will not affect existing projects.

The mayor’s office says the moratorium will serve to allow time for identifying an “Immediate Impact Area” that will be most affected by development around Westside Park and developing an “Equitable Development Framework” for that area.

The mayor’s office released a map of that potential area, which includes Grove Park and two smaller communities, Rockdale and Knight Park/Howell Station, that are already relatively gentrified.

Grove Park is already starting to feel the strain of speculation. According to the Zillow home value index, the median home value in Jan. 2018 was $95,000. Two years later, it nearly doubled to $175,000.

The real estate company’s forecast has that number passing $200,000 by the end of the year.

It’s not clear how many projects are already underway in the city-designated Immediate Impact Area.

11Alive reached out to the mayor’s office for data on existing projects. The city said it did not have any specific information at the moment.

Yes, the black mayor of Atlanta is using her office to stop white people from moving back into the city, helping to protect black residents whose very presence for decades has been the primary impediment to economic growth in the area.

As white people turn “a troubled region full of rundown properties” into thriving communities (where once only black gangbangers roamed), the truth about race and real estate becomes clear. Especially when the black mayor of Atlanta works to use her office to stop economic progress because it disproportionately displaces blacks… the very people who have kept property values down and businesses from opening and flourishing in areas of the city where whites have gentrified and now thrive.

  2. We really need to start creating our own parallel intellectual sphere that is churning out actual books. If they are saying “we don’t want whites in our communities” but they dress it up in intellectual verbiage about “gentrification” – then we need to start doing what jews do and churn out books saying that “gentrification” is an anti-white canard. If they are using that canard as a justification to deny allowing us to live in certain communities – then that is de-facto segregation.

    We are in an information war and we have to aggressively delegitimize these ideas because they are objectively harmful.

  10. I live outside Atlanta so I get a front row seat for this bullshit on the local news all the time. It’s total insanity. Blacks screaming about their crime-infested shithole neighborhoods and wanting somebody to do sumpin’ about dis, then bitching their asses off when people with a bit of money and taste (whites) start fixing up the ‘hoods. As far as I’m concerned, it boils down to them wanting the taxpayer’s money to repair and restore (though we know it would never stay that way) their shitholes and not have it cost them a dime. Gibsmedat. Whitey’s taxes should fix up the ‘hood but stay out of it so we can ruin it again and then moan about it all being due to institutionalized racism. Makes sense, right?

    I think it’s funny watching the anchors and politicians dance around the subject. I’m tempted at times to yell ” WON’T SOMEBODY JUST HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY IT?!?” But the answer is no. No, they don’t. I can’t wait to be able to move away from here in a few years.

    There are not enough black people for HUD to Section 8 into white suburbs and simultaneously maintain black dominance of inner city neighborhoods. There never will be. If blacks want to affect the electorate in suburbia, they will have to accept some loss of control in the city.

    Gerrymandering didn’t work out like they planned, and neither will the creation of white no-go zones. Mayor Lance-Boil is playing a losing game of Whack-a-mole with Lester Maddox’s pick handle.

    Mexis took over what used to be 95% Black Compton….where all are early great illustrious woke poets and great rap gods came from. And Mexis had no illusions about Blacks and any guilt of FORCING them out. Mexis had no problem going after Blacks and taking over Compton. I wonder why there was no 24/7 cry heard across the land about that.

    “Compton was once a mostly black area in California, but now there are violent Latino gangs there who have declared certain areas off limits. If black families move into what the Latino gangs declare to be their city, then the blacks are driven out by being intimidated or beaten.”
    “Many African-Americans are leaving the city because they don’t want to be targeted by the gangs”.LOL, awwwww poor little Black people.

    Compton has population of about 97,000, and was predominantly black for many years. It is now 65% Latino and 33% black, according to the 2010 U.S. census,

    Rap giant Kendrick Lamar said it in song: “Compton, Compton, ain’t no city quite like mine.”

    It’s not quite his city anymore.

    The hub of gangsta rap and birthplace of some of the most influential black rappers and hip-hop artists of the late ’80s and ’90s (Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube), this gritty city south of Los Angeles is no longer a quintessential African-American community.

    Compton, which was once mostly white (former President George H.W. Bush lived there in 1949) and then became mostly black, is now mostly Hispanic. About 65 percent of the people in this city of fewer than 100,000 are Hispanic and only 35 percent are black, according to the 2010 census. Some say Hispanics now make up more than 70 percent.

    BWaaaaaahahahahahahaha I love it. And Blacks are one of the myriad of reasons why all these 3rd world peoples are taking over. Blacks figure that all of these Browns will be on their side .As long as it’s Whitey being bred out and removed , it’s all good. Little did they know that the only people that piss all over themselves and allow Blacks to rule over them and make fools out of them are Weak Cuck conservative Whites and Liberal Whites.

Want to film a intimate scene with kissing? Then theaters and live concerts will be closed. No degenerate negro ‘rapper’ shouting vulgar doggerel before a crowd of thugs.

    Everything the negro can do successfully involves ‘performing’ and that is what the Wuhan flu is going to end. Government tax receipts will crater triggering mass layoffs of government employees.

    When the “mainstream” culture gets so big and encompassing, sub-cultures and counter cultures start to pop up all around it. Many of these cultures are viewed as edgy and cool, attracting millions of people to them… ultimately making them the new mainstream culture. Think of gangster rap in the 90s, and how people like Snoop Dogg are now widely accepted by the masses.

    Right now, we’re counter-culture to the mainstream, but we have the Truth on our side. I’m still waiting for the tide to swell enough to start to see some actionable movies breakout from (((their))) grip and depict real life scenarios: think American History X without the PC garbage second half of the movie. We need to pump out books, publications, internet videos, Internet forum boards, comics, get our own channel on TV, movies, etc. This is how you start to take back all that’s been taken from us.

    The flaw in your logic is that gangster rap was actively pushed by Jewish record labels for various reasons, and did not enter the mainstream organically. It is not like the White public one day decided to shun classic American music and/or Classical music in favour of Negro gobbledygook which glorified drug use, sexual impropriety and murder. It was part of an active campaign to undermine White America and increase Black violence/create a new class of ‘Whiggers’.

    Actually this kind of reverse blockbusting is somehow poetic …
    young adventurous Whites getting cheap parkfront property (I shudder at the thought of what that park would be used for otherwise) – it takes some of the financial pressure off the demographic; of course if you want to raise children, you still have to pay the Tax only to be subverted by Section Ape so there´s still a lot of work to do.

    I agree that it will be incredibly difficult for all the reasons you mentioned above. My hope is that more people will be awakened to what’s really going on, ultimately giving us a foothold in some organizations that hold the power. Perhaps our only chance is a totally reset, but anything short of that we must continue to adapt our tactics.

  32. @Just Passing Through

    Indeed, as well as that of my teenagers’s lives. We live in a reasonably nice Atlanta suburb (the house and property taxes certainly say so), primarily for the high quality schools. Alas, several years ago, our county decided that “school choice” would help spread the vibrant goodness around to all of us. So our high school is made up of a large number of teens who live far outside the school zone in less, er, savory areas. It makes a very noticeable difference in the numbers of incident reports, especially ones involving violence and 5 or 6 kids jumping on one. What’s the point of paying out the ass to live here?

    Thank goodness for the politicians who vote for school choice because most of their kids go to private schools. So good to make sure the quality school districts are appropriately watered down. Sorry, I mean invigorated with diversity.

    From the first Counter-Currents you linked;

    Both Pew Research and Gallup’s latest findings report the majority of US citizens approve of interracial marriage and relationships. Although these are generally self-reporting surveys and anonymous, a study of brain scans suggests that there is a social desirability bias coming into play. Social desirability bias is the tendency of survey and study participants to reply to socially contentious questions in a way that is socially and publicly acceptable, even when the surveys are anonymous.

    (emphasis added by me)

    Interestingly, this seems to be a phenomenon carried over into the realm of elections as well, the ethno-nationalist British National Party only received 1.9% of the vote in the 2010 UK General election (sure some voters were non-White, but even then the UK was around 87% White at the time so this would still translate to only around 2.2% of White voters voting for their own ethnic groups’ interest) but when discussions on policies were held, most people supported BNP policies

    Anywhere negroes migrate to or exist in any numbers, they’ll eventually claim they done “built all dat.” I recall a video of a negress straight out of Africa who had invaded Sweden and was protesting and screaming that blacks built that country and that culture. Of course, that was her excuse for screaming for more gibsmedats. It was “owed” to her.

    No matter where they are, the mentality is the same. In fact, if Whites or Asians ever colonized Mars and there were no black people there for a thousand years and then some showed up, I guarantee you within one or two generations, the blacks would be screeching they builded all dat and it wuz stolen from them.

    In 1978 Californians passed Prop 13, which amended the state’s Constitution to address this problem/ripoff:

    1978 California Proposition 13

    The proposition decreased property taxes by assessing values at their 1976 value and restricted annual increases of assessed value of real property to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2 percent per year. It prohibits reassessment of a new base year value except in cases of (a) change in ownership, or (b) completion of new construction.

    So your property tax is always based on what you paid for your house, not on what its current market value is.

    In addition, the IRS allows you a tax free gain of $250k ($500k for married couples) on the sale of your primary residence.

    Usually gentrification does not mean new development — a 6 mo moratorium on new housing projects near the new park will probably not stop existing houses near the new park from continuing to increase in value — and other factors excluded (see Prop 13), an increase in value is actually a good thing for the people who own the houses.

    I’m sure all the poor Blacks who own homes in Grove Park will be grateful to the mayor for preventing their homes from increasing in value — LOL.

    So if the mayor was smart — most Blacks aren’t of course, and Blacks are increasingly influential in GA politics — she would push for Prop 13 style property tax reform in GA/Atlanta, bow to the inevitable (“notorious”) gentrification, and let the extremely poor Grove Park residents reap a tax free financial windfall by selling their homes if they so choose.

    link

    The neighbors in the Grove Park neighborhood in Atlanta are low income, making it among the lowest income neighborhoods in America. NeighborhoodScout’s research shows that this neighborhood has an income lower than 92.4% of U.S. neighborhoods.

    Of course this is the funniest line in the whole ridiculous article:

    “A key pillar to the Administration’s comprehensive affordable housing plan is ensuring long-term residents are not priced out of the neighborhoods they have built,” Mayor Bottoms said in a release.

    Most kids who grew up in CA during the 70s or 80s, and who didn’t buy a house then or become tech millionaires, are now “priced out” of home ownership — but no one gives a shit about them, because they aren’t black.

    They could end up out in White suburbia.
    Then will those suburban Whites blame the Blacks, or the White gentry?

    Gentrification, a non-indigenous group moving into an area occupied by other people, who have their roots in that area, then using unequal power to dislocate those people and take their property.

    Look at what happens when the negro takes charge. Public housing in 10 to 15 story buildings for low or no income. Within a few years the buildings looked like they had been carpet bombed. Chiraq built single family homes called U235 housing. Bi-level with basement, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, modest but nice living space. Destroyed in short order and turned into slums. No responsibility equals “I don’t care”. Previously white owned homes that could withstand an atomic bomb destroyed in short order by the black plague. As a wrangler I was in many of these homes, some were mansion like, oak flooring, trim, ceramic tile, all brick stately homes that were shells of their former beauty. One just had to shake their head and wonder why. The majority of “these” people are nothing but savages that would destroy everything in their path. There was a saying among the ghetto patrol, “If they cant #uck it, eat it, or drink it they will ruin it”.

  60. I believe the mayor of Atlanta has overstepped. I do not think a moratorium on gentrification is legal but since it involves what blacks want the government or courts will do nothing.

    And what do property taxes pay for? Schools. And every Democrat politician complains constantly that schools are underfunded and needs more money. Blacks vote Democrat. Now Whites are giving them the chance to pay higher taxes to give teachers (and administration) a higher salary. And now it’s bad? If you don’t want to pay higher taxes for Socialism, don’t vote Democrat. The can move to Mississippi where teachers have the lowest salaries (and low property taxes).

    So many blacks (at least the noisiest among them) seem to want a world without cops.

    We’ve all heard that noise before. The fact is, without the threat of police and the judicial process, TNB would be straightened out quickly. The white man with a family can’t afford to piss his life’s work away over a monkey. If the negro were to ever have a cogent thought, he would thank the authorities for allowing him to get away with so much for so long.

    social desirability bias

    What a charming synonym for herding behavior. It makes those predisposed to high-level herding sound far less animal (or insect hive-minded) than they really are.

    Albert J. Nock was one of the most insightful men to ever live. His essay Isaiah’s Job (published in The Atlantic in 1936 and widely available on the Web) nails just how lost and irredeemable are “The Masses” (without him saying that they’re nothing but hive-minded herd animals, but that’s the reality.)

    Human history follows a pattern, and that pattern is (in my view) a 3-dimensional cycle, i.e., it describes a helix. Only from the side does it look sinusoidal, which is why change is always surprising to us all.

    Life’s an adventure, with a beginning, a middle and an inevitable end. The quality of the adventure is all about the middle, not the beginning or the end.

  67. @RickTen99

    It’s a predicament.

    Who wants to see a child starving in the street? Who wants to see someone even vaguely human-looking suffering? We’re not wired to accept that.

    The problem is, you cannot ameliorate the suffering of a child without enabling (rewarding) the dysfunction of the parents (and every child has two, present or not.) It is an economic axiom that whatever you reward will be provided in growing quantity. It is literally unavoidable that by ameliorating the suffering of a child, you get more suffering children (because you fertilize and amplify the dysfunctions of the adults who produce such children.)

    This is the Reality Of The World. Suffering IS, and ALWAYS WILL BE, because people have the free will to choose self-destruction, and by doing so the consequences of their actions spread out to those who surround them (most especially via them producing offspring.) Not even the most repressive tyranny imaginable could “cure” the will to self-destruct, for it is in our nature, it’s part of the library of human behavioral subroutines we all carry.

    The only “fix” is to exile those who insist on such behaviors (and opinions vary regarding what qualifies, hence our current dilemma) to beyond a high wall, so that the consequences of their actions land where we cannot see them (protecting us from our own self-destructive impulse to “try to help.”)

    None of this will EVER occur in world where people have the high living standard to which we’ve become addicted. Sadly, in order for a better approach to emerge, we all have to suffer…and suffer badly.

    Blacks didn’t build these neighborhoods.

    He didn’t say they did: the mayor said they did; read his comment again.

    Whatever the history, today many of these properties are owned by Blacks.

    Fulton County — Property Taxes

    The Tax Commissioner takes the appraised value and the exemption status provided by the Board of Tax Assessors, along with the millage rates set by the Board of Commissioners and other Governing Authorities, to calculate taxes for each property, and mails bills to owners at the addresses provided by the Board of Tax Assessors.

    So property tax in Atlanta, like almost everywhere else, is based on current assessed value — this means if your property increases in market value, you will be presented with a huge new tax bill, which most of the poor black owners cannot afford.

    This was the gist of his comment, and he is correct — his implication is also correct: it’s unfair to owners (generally, i.e. regardless of race/location).

    Voters in Atlanta/GA should stop this practice, as CA voters did back in 1978.

    Excellent articles on the War on Whites that’s going on in ads and movies. Thanks.

  70. Every ‘little Italy’ ‘Chinatown’ ‘Latin Quarter’ ‘Jewish neighborhood’ or random immigrant enclave was usually built long ago by the English, Irish, Scottish or German founding stock.

    There’s nothing wrong with whites reclaiming the spaces their ancestors originally built.

    Their occupation by others was merely a temporary circumstance, to be forgotten.

    @RickTen99

    Ask anyone who lives in an urban area. Blacks cannot build or maintain white civilization. It’s simply impossible. Left to their own devices they build Africa. Hand them civilization and they turn it into Africa. It’s simply the objective reality of the situation. Indeed, I think it’s even unfair to demand of them the things we demand, or used to demand, of our own kind – to work, save for the future, raise a family, maintain a home, etc. With the exception of a very small number (usually those with a significant amount of European DNA), they can’t do it.

    Indeed, maybe we are slowly and surely arriving to the inevitable reality, which is that libs and Democrats throw in the towel and just state the fact, for blacks and whites to live alongside each other, the blacks must receive and endless and total amount of white gibs into perpetuity, and look the other way while they squander it all. It’s the only way. This is what this woman is saying if you read between the lines.

    Let’s make a race issue about neighborhood upgrading (going on in Atlanta midtown ever since they wanted to make areas unaffordable for hippies to live in).
    I’m still waiting for that positive article about blacks (any black) from Mr. Kersey or you can link me to any article you’ve ever written about evil blacks being not so evil.

    “…she would push for Prop 13 style property tax reform in GA/Atlanta…”

    The property taxes are just one issue and not the main one, although pushed to he front as a diversion.

    What’s under the surface that’s not mentioned is the following:

    The cultural issue – White girls walking their dogs in our neighborhood!

    Politics – SWPLs who aren’t voting republican, but may have unwelcome reformist impulses.

    The real point is that Negroes are pawns not the true enemy in fact you assure blacks side with the true enemy when only referring to them negatively
    this is why controlled opposition masquerading as grass roots dissent focuses on race division. I keep repeating the obvious, that it is clear the ruling elites don’t give a hoot about our malcontent and since they control the media, they control the effective debate talking points.
    Until you can change that, white concerns should not be publicly obsessed on but that’s obvious political strategy meant to get results. Our movement is comfortable with dysfunction and complaining

    Not at all. In agreement with most of what you say except you seem to wish to dismiss what we know to be TNB and replace it with happier tales of these people.

    TV and movies is an excellent place for that. They are portrayed exactly as you describe.

    I’ve forever said to keep a reserve of ammo once the shooting starts… not for the canon fodder, but for those behind the scenes… those who make money regardless of winning or losing.

    I recognize the threat and those behind it. Your focus seems solely on background players. For all your good intentions, I fear you may be overrun by the first wave and never get your one hundred scalps.
