Federal Gov Sect 8 ( Housing rentals) & "Housing Project demolition"

[Lazyhater]

They had the perfect plan. Scatter thugs throughout our smaller cities and communities and let everyone / us deal with them. Troublemakers are everywhere now in the Atlanta area vs confined to one " housing project" area in Atlanta. Looks like the City of Atlanta played it perfectly!

Welcome to "our dump city" where all the rejects now come because "we are the capitol city/county for "cheap housing" thanks to our wonderful DC Commissioners AND Planning and Zoning past fiasco's ! Thanks RITA and commissioners of the past.
Boy did you leave a mess for the current Board (except David L.) to clean up! Rita,we know you loved the "developers & builders". Enjoying you new mansion in West Douglas County? How did you get this money with such a "low salary"> Hmmmmmmmm smells like the fish in your lake!

Rita is a very successful business woman. She earned it!

I respectfully disagree. I know her well.

She only made as a commissioner because of her riding Tommy Waldrop's coattail and votes. She was at EVERY function he had while he ran for Sheriff.

Hmmm. What did she do before she was on the commission?

Rita had her own temp personnel business before she became Commission Chairman. She was the darling of the homebuilders and construction community. They took care of them and they took care of her. Her husband and son started their own house building business, but I heard it wasn't doing well, and that she either lost or almost lost her home in Lakeland Hills. Does anyone know where she lives now? She works in a jewelry store in the mall.

What's really hillarious about this is that they put the worst of the worst over in the Chapel Hill road area. Property values took a nose dive, the schools dropped scores in that district dramatically. Now we have carjacking in the new Publix lot, I can only imagine what the drug situation is like over there. But I can't help wondering who on that side of town pissed off the cronies enough to do this? The more logical choice would have been to turn that area over by Food Depot into the next ghetto. Everybody thought that would happen when Food Depot moved anyway. Then the BP pulled out and boarded up. So it was really taking form as a "hood". But instead they shat upon Chapel Hill. Even Yeager has better scores than Chapel hill now. This is one of the benefits of diversity right? All this fusion of culture. All this brotherly love?

Anyone who sucks the government tit deserves to be used in this way, but I have to wonder what the people of Chapel Hill did to piss off the DC mafia SO much. Watching all this unfold has been amazing.

You can easily check the inaccuracy of this statement here:

Hey Groob Hahn was right about the test scores. My kid goes to Yeager and I was shocked when I saw the test scores at the end of the 2007 school year. It was in some special AJC.com article. You could look up the scores by school, county, etc. Yeager did better than Chapel Hill.

[GrammarHammer]

No, these ARE the 2007 CRCT and Grade 8 Writing Assessment test scores and Yeager most definitely did not do better than Chapel Hill in any area.

If anyone has any doubts about test scores at their children's schools, every school in Douglas County has their most recent test data posted on a *gigantic* board by the front office. Take a look!:-)

[GrammarHammer]

I went to the AJC.com charts I think you're referring to and I see what might be confusing. Yeager has higher percentages on the chart, true; however, those are failure rates, not passing rates.

I Agree. Looked in the paper lately. Gangs are here, thanks to the busting up of "Atlanta's housing projects AND thanks to Hurricane Katrina winds blowing the thugs our way from New Orleans". A double wammy!

I agree with you. Ever since the Hurricane Katrina has been crazy(sometimes). It seems the gangs are taking over sometimes. I don't want to be rude or cause any problems. Well the Katrina people can go back to their house and see if they can save their house etc.. If not, i understand.

If I may ask, It appears that douglasville chapel hill area is taking a nose dive? I'm confused, I visited that area less than a year ago and it seemed pretty quiet in most subdivisions like hampton mills, the legends, holly springs estate...I,m very confused on relocating to your area, in comments thanks

Douglasville is a very frustrating area at the moment.

I took care of someone recently who was from south Fla and was visiting family in DC. He noticed that housing was very cheap in Douglas County SO he brought the majority of his congregation to Douglasville to scope out homes so they(the congregation)could all relocate here. Ask any Dville cop about our new DC residents. Most are coming from the northern states like NY and Chicago, Ill. Supposedly there are billboards directing residents to move to DC for the cheapest Sect 8 homes in the US? I had a patient recently who had just moved from NY and couldn't understand why DC didn't have any sidewalks or public transportation (bus) around here and that it was difficult to get around the city. I explained to her that we weren't the kind of city that she moved from. We were trying to remain rural, but we were being forced to regress in the direction of an overpopulated, crime infested, slum town. I DON'T welcome the majority of our new residents. We are definitely not a safe community anymore.

People who live in Corn Crib don't get on this site silly! Those people over there mind their own business. they just get drunk, beat up their "old ladies," and aspire to do nothing more with their lives - remember though, they are all contained in one small area by the county landfill. They aren't spreading their borders like Chapel Hills. The new Chapel Hills area residents come out with weapons loaded, car jackings, shootings, slicings, rapes - for Heaven's sake - where have you been for the last 2 years? It's a ghetto over there! I feel sorry for some of my friends who bought homes in the area and now can't get out.
