White Flight

I live in Stockbridge now, actually out in the country. On one side of the road is McDonough and the other side Stockbridge. If you lived on Hudson Bridge, I am just off Jodeco. Hudson Bridge now has a Stockbridge address. I am south of that. That is if the Hudson Bridge you are talking about goes west from 75, going east from 75 it is Eagles Landing Road. Hudson Bridge runs right into Jodeco which is exit 222 off 75.

Hmm, changes. They happen all the time.

 

We used to call 75 around Hudson Bridge the Trucking Bermuda Triangle...haha. 20 years ago we bought our first home in Eagle's Lake-NOT to be confused with Eagle's Landing...brand new on about a fifth an acre for $69,900...3 bedrooms, 2 baths, no garage...right next to the train tracks that ran through McDonough's square. I loved that little house.
Henry dod an awful job balancing construction growth and road infrastructure growth..hence the gawd awful traffic. Coweta did a phenomenally better job.

 

You have my sympathies.

 

Question for you.

Do you realise the leftist accusation of "racist" means nothing anymore?

White people leave for a reason.

Separation is good.

 

I take the back roads and usually stay off 75. But they been working on 75 for the last year or so, looks like when they finish they will have 5 lanes on each side, north and south. How far south they are going to take it, I don't know. But if there is an accident on 75, even the back roads gets all clogged up. Perhaps time to move further south.

I used to live in Morrow and before that Forest Park. Heck I can remember when Clayton Country was almost all farming country. Now one would say it has just become a huge suburb of Atlanta. The square in McDonough is always a nightmare regardless of the time of day. But I assume there is nothing they can do about it. That is unless they build a bypass or something around McDonough which they aren't going to do. Then like Atlanta, you will need a by pass to by pass the original by pass. 285 sucks to put it mildly.

I can't remember the last time I went into Atlanta. Perhaps to a Braves game in the late 90's. I did make it to the world series game 3 when they played the Yankees and welcomed back Joe Torre. Only world series game I ever made it too. But back then my oldest daughter worked for Georgia Power and she got us free tickets and parking.

 

Correct. Racist means nothing these days. Like antibiotics that were overused, the word racist has lost its punch. No one cares anymore.

 

I wonder what the use of throwing "racist" around was to begin with. Someone being racist doesn't mean they can't make a coherent argument.

 

The details are in the plan. The stated objective is to provide access to better hospitals, grocery stores, schools, etc. Sounds noble enough. In practical application it means creating HUD housing in wealthy neighborhoods. In other words, white neighborhoods.

 

Dale Murphy! Fulton Co. Stadium. Moe bleed seats. Chief Knockahoma!
What parts of Clayton County were farmland? When? I was born in 76 in Riverdale and that certainly wasn't farmland. Areas almost touching Henry Co. like Hampton maybe.
I sat in the parking lot and paid $20 to during the Series...we were so excited. Hell of a pitching line up...
285 isn't too bad southside. I don't drive on the Northside much at all.
85 moves great.
Is Southlake Mall still open?

 

The southern half of Clayton county. I don't know about Southlake Mall. I haven't been there in years. Since we moved to Stockbridge in 2004. Heck where I live, just off Jodeco, it was all farm country until all these housing divisions and shopping plazas started going in.

 

Hud houses are not built in wealthy areas.
The types of business Hud attracts are check cashing places, title pawn, laundromats. Businesses people living in low income areas would patronize.
There are no hud homes in middle class neighborhoods. It would be impossible.

 

There is certainly plenty of white flight in south FL. We're getting pushed further and further north to wealthy enclaves😉

Jodeco is partially in Clayton and Henry County. My husband has family in the Jonesboro Jodeco area. I think Hampton was one of the last parts of Clayton Co. to remain more rural. My folks lived in Fayette when we lived in McDonough and we took back roads back n forth over 1941 and through Hampton.
I used to work at the Mirrow Red Lobster on Tara Blvd over 20 years ago. It was the busiest Red Libster in the country. Both my husband and I worked there 25-30 he's a week while going to college full time and we bought that first house in McDonough just outside the square on that income. That neighborhood is a dump today. That house we paid $69,900 for would sell for around $35,000-$40,000.
We moved out of McDonough to Sharpsburg (Coweta) in 2000.
When we moved to Eagle's Lake I hated the train. It took months to get used to. That track just outside McDonough square was very active then. When we built a home in Sharpsburg you couldn't hear the train. I missed it so much. When we moved to our current location in Newnan we are practically on top of a very busy rail that runs through Newnan into Palmetto (Fulton) and I love it. It lulls me to sleep.
Do you frequent Mount Zion much?

 

Negative on Mount Zion. About a mile and a half from my house there is a Home Depot, Target, Best Buy, Golden Corral, and about 50 other restaurants and stores on Jonesboro Road. That is Exit 221. There's a Walmart on Hudson bridge along again with about 20 other stores and restaurants near Walmart. That is just north of me, Jonesboro road, just south. Red Lobster, there is on in the shopping center just off 75 on Jonesboro Road.

Heck, I have everything I need or want nearby. Only problem is these darn housing divisions eating up all the woods and farm land. If I knew this area was going to grow so darn fast, I would have went further south instead of here.

 

The Democratic Party was founded by the most racist genocidal president in USA history and to this day favored racial segregation - plus economic segregation.

You are correct, one of their primary tactics is to starve out poor, particularly minorities. One of THE MOST WHITE urban cities in the USA is Seattle. By constantly raising entry level job salaries and raising property taxes, they make it unaffordable for the poor to live there - which most affects blacks and Latinos. They literally starve them out and keep them out this way as well.

Once again in this election, Democrats are frantic and furious in insisting that black and Latino people are NOT part of mainstream society as are distinctly different people than whites; ie the never ending racial segregation policy of the Democratic party and so-called liberals. They demand that blacks and Latinos be inferior and isolated from them, but promise to toss them some crumbs and to feel sorry for them if they do.

The constant claim of most white liberals and Democrats of how much they PITY black and Latino people because they aren't white is as outrageously racist and segregationist as it gets.

 

Lovejoy?
Not so savory area.

 

Actually, we been scouting north of Griffin. Getting away from 75. Perhaps buying 50 to 100 acres to ensure no housing division is put in across the road.

 

Ain't nobody wanting to buy 100 acres in Griffin. Real estate there is declining in value and the schools there suck.

What kind of cell do you have?

 

You line of thought is flawed. Forget for a moment your brash assumption of the outcome of white families staying.

Why should they have to demand and fight for better schools and low crime when they had that prior to the influx of blacks and other minorities?

What you are really saying is that blacks are unable to achieve these things on their own.
