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.
"....rapid rises in home values." Shame on Evil Whitey for raising property values!

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.
"...promises to transform the surrounding areas." LOL
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.
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.
Poor niggers.
“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.
Neighborhoods they have built! More like destroyed. Apelanta apparently wants to stay being a pit of crime ridden nigger despair. Choke on it, niggers!
