Lawrenceville used to be prosperous and majority white. With the explosion of Atlanta's black population, black people have been migrating out to this and other formerly white-majority suburbs north of the city, having many years ago become the majority in the southern 'burbs. Norcross is another suburb north of Atlanta that comes to mind as having been degraded.
I lived in Norcross and Atlanta for 15 years and left for the coast in '93, at the beginning of the northward migration of Atlanta's black population. A recent visit to old haunts revealed a deteriorated, degraded megalopolis that is getting uglier by the month. The city is a festering hole of wokesters; Chads have been corralled into Buckhead and the traditionally affluent white neighborhoods of Inman Park, North Highland, Druid Hills. Little Five Points, my old neighborhood, is a hippie warren and has been for quite a while. The burbs north and west of the city are still very rich and majority white, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, as that's where the real money in the area lives.
I'd like to hear from anyone living in Atlanta proper about current conditions. I haven't been back since 2017.
