Why did they run out all the black people? Where are they to go now that they are priced out of their areas?

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.
