![]() ![]() I have seen him here before and he is a huge liar, like most journalist but he is just over the top IMO and the opinions of others I know who have met him.īut basically this neighborhood has horrible blight and due to poor code enforcement the houses are ripped apart by copper thieves and destroyed by homeless people and drug addicts around here in alot of places. I actually live in this neighborhood and the reporter and I got into a trist of sorts on their FB page. I agree with the above, especially the bolded area. Yeah, we do tend to drive up property values, but no one I know is wanting to gentrify The Bluff any time soon. Why would they when places like East Atlanta still have a way to go and you can get in there for cheap and the potential is much easier to see. I just don't think many people are THAT urban pioneering. I don't really see much hope for the area, because even if the city takes houses through eminent domain, what are they going to do with them then? Sink tons of money into them getting them ready for occupancy? It's going to take a large community of people to decide they want cheap homes in a potentially great area and just figure they'll buy a gun, get a couple of pitbulls, and see if they can make it work. Still, I think the gays could definitely do it if only they would move in en masse (but they won't). We're not just talking pot dealers and crack.heroin is heavy duty, and a major distribution hub would be hard to move out. I have always heard that it is a heroin distribution center and it all comes in there, gets sorted, and goes out to other places. Part of the problem is that Vine City is the heroin hub of the entire southeast. I couldn't help thinking that all the area really needs is about 2000 gay men to move in and in a year you'd have million dollar homes as far as the eye could see. It has immediate and traffic free access to downtown, 285 isn't that far away, and you can easily get to Georgia Tech, midtown, and you literally have skyline views everywhere you look. I was also amazed by how prime the real estate was. It's really sad, too, because you can probably tell from the video that there are some really great houses there that just need some attention. I don't have enough know how to fix a house that has had the plumbing and wiring literally ripped out of the walls, and they all have that kind of damage. The report is correct in that the houses are in horrible shape, which is why I didn't buy one. I parked on the street a couple of blocks away from the auction site and walked and didn't have any problems. It's true that the area is in pretty bad shape, but there are also a lot of nice people just trying to live. Anyway, I have been to this area a few times, mostly for housing auctions a couple of years ago just to see what was available. Okay, I don't want that in my neighborhood, but it doesn't sicken me. Like what? Are they kidnapping children and then raping them before sacrificing them to Satan? Well, I think that WXIA is being a bit dramatic.I mean, the reporter actually says things happen in the houses that would "sicken me." ![]()
