Even the West End, which used to be the worst area of the entire city not just a decade ago, has been gentrified w/a lot of new shops and housing. Along w/the beltline running through there.
Why did they run out all the black people? Where are they to go now that they are priced out of their areas?

To the suburbs. Which have experienced a huge demographic shift opposite of the city. They city and suburbs are going two different directions.

In the 1990s a lot of black people moved from Atlanta to near-suburb subdivisions that were built in the 1950s and 60s in DeKalb County.

The housing crisis in 2008 hit those areas hard, leading to a lot of abandoned and distressed single-family homes. These are fodder for renovation and resale (or, sadly, rental) and this process is still ongoing.

This redevelopment is basically spreading from incorporated Decatur southward. There's a lot of mess to be cleaned up still. I don't know where the blacks will go, if it comes to that, but they're welcome to go move in next to all the Mexicans in Gwinnett County IMO.
