Palmer House Senior Highrise in Atlanta, Georgia is yet another project that has been slated for demolition. The Atlanta Housing Authority has made claims that the building is beyond repair and is planning to issue Housing Choice vouchers to the residents that will be displaced, all of whom are senior citizens and some have other disabilities. We went and interviewed some of the residents to get their comments about their homes being taken from them.
Atlanta lost ALOT of tax revenue here a few years ago when Sandy Springs incorporated (rumor has it, Buckhead is next, but anyway), ATL really has no choice but to try and get taxpayers back into the downtown area. The city won't be able to sustain itself unless folks who actually pay taxes live there. Is it fair to those who need help? Absolutely not, but it is what it is...so sad...

the housing projects in downtown Atlanta and other areas in atlanta sits on some of the best real estate in the city. that is why they do this. they move out the poor so they can get richer by making luxury apartments for the wealthy. it is sad where do all these people go? do they came? of course not.
