Atlanta is a shitty place.
Anything in North Carolina is much better.
b/c im from there.
also slavery is not “alive and well” anywhere in the south unless you count immigrant labor which happens everywhere.
atlanta school system is a shitshow.
“Moving South to Atlanta is not for everyone, but THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE BETTER.”
You’ve got to be kidding. Atlanta’s school system is considered in a state of crisis, and some I know who moved there from the Brooklyn and Bronx found that out. For one cousin, what her child was learning in the 4th grade in Atl, she had already learned in the 3rd grade in the Bronx.
What Atlanta may have over NYC is discipline in schools. I think that’s the big issue in NYC schools, unruly students is classrooms. If Board of Ed came up with a better plan to address this, things would greatly improve.
why is it that when I post here, my post goes up and then later it disappear? What am I doing wrong?
I had no idea low income people live in New York City.
No idea, whatsoever.
Smug spoiled people who live in a bubble like you, 12:27 are what makes the low-income people feel ignored here. They DO exist you know! Like lots of them, in NYC. Try leaving the Upper East Side once in a while.
This building, the Alhambra Apartments, was brought back from the dead. It did not suffer a devastating fire, it suffered three devatating fires. It was a ruin. The comeback is remarkable. Now all three of the Montrose Morris apartment buildings: the Alhambra, the Imperial, and the Renaissance, are restored and once again adorn the streets of Bed Stuy and Crown Heights.
If a ‘Before” picture of this building were posted today, half the comments would be to tear it down as it looks too far gone.
Inner NYC?
You mean, Manhattan, where the median income far surpasses nearly every other place in the country?
Yeah, sounds horrific.
Moving South to Atlanta is not for everyone, but THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE BETTER. Yes, even in Georgia. That’s how bad NYC schools are. When these African American families can’t afford private schools in NYC, and want a good education for their children and want success for their children, it can make sense to leave. So try thinking about what’s right for the future generation. Staying in NYC might not be it. Obama didn’t come from inner NYC. He had a shot at a good education, where he grew up.
