Atlanta, New Orleans, and Chicago. Why do I say this? Because, here in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, housing projects have been AND STILL ARE being torn down (as well as other low-income housing areas where the majority of the residents were and still are Black) and condos and expensive apartments are being built. The same thing is going on in Chicago. How do I know this? Do you remember the Chicago-based rap duo Boo & Gotti that were with No Limit Records? In one of their hit singles from several years ago ("Man"), one of them said "They're tearing down the projects, man" , and I saw a middle-aged Caucasian guy shaking hands with the mayor with a construction site background where a housing project used to be on the music video that went along with the song. In Atlanta, the newly built condos and expensive apartments are being lived in by White people who are from out of state and accustomed to paying high rent and leasing prices. They're being ripped off here!!!!!!
