Yes, well before property values fell. As a matter of fact, property values have NOT fallen, they've increased, but the perception was/is that with Black folks come crime, we don't cut our grass, etc. and will therefor impact property values. The Atlanta metro area is getting larger because most white folks just don't want to live with us (Black folks). (white) Folks who lived in Lithonia and Stone Mountain have moved to Conyers and Covington or northern Gwinett. I have friends who just moved to Swanee and we joke that it will be interesting to see how fast their neighborhood of $400k homes will be all black. Right now it's about 10%, but I guarentee if it gets much above that you will have serious white flight.
Sad, but true.....
Wasn't there a thread on here recently that talked aboutthe ethnic makeup of most of the GCers neighborhood?
