The best place to move is a semi-rural area get yourself about minimum 5-10 acres with a gated driveway. Keep a bunch of trees in the front. Place house in the center with an open yard so you can see what coming.
I live in a high-rise in Buckhead currently, 30305 area code. I am a black guy. It is NOT just the black people causing this disruptive activity. My last neighbor was a "Professional" white guy. I had to report him many times for blasting his music at 2am. I can smell marijuana coming through the vents into my apartment. The garage door to the building was broke 3 weeks ago. Someone stole one of the residents cars from the 7th floor of the garage. Apartment living is problematic in this area.

Moved out of Atlanta 5 years ago and it took several weeks to get over the quiet, no sirens, no traffic noise, and no fights. Good luck getting to a better place!
We live in the suburbs but everything you spoke on is happening in Nashville. You’re doing the right thing getting out of there before the arguments turn to violence.
People have lost the sense of pride. People no longer care to present themselves well nor live well. People are living like they are in the amazon jungle and conduct themselves in a primitive manner.
I don't live in a major metro area but fully understand your plight. Much of what you spoke about is on pace with what I've been saying for years about apartment living in general. Me and my wife lived in City Center, which is a nice area of the city where all shoppes and restaurants were in walking distance. She says 🙄 I sound like a grumpy old man. I'm 46 so I'm okay with that! But I also know that I'm not grumpy for no reason. I used to love the city life because of the conveniences. But now it really is horrible 😕. No peace of mind! Looking forward to getting a home with no shared walls. We don't have children so why should I have to listen to other people's children yelling, running, and screaming all the damn time. That's just one of many issues so I feel you on this one.
Buckhead resident here. I live closer to Midtown, right off Peachtree by Piedmont Hospital. It is indeed a zoo. We’re heading up north, at least 20-30 minutes outside of the city, really soon.
I remember visiting my family in Atlanta all the time as a kid back in the 90s and early 00s. Atlanta really changed since then, I mean, it it's a night and day difference. I can say the same thing for my city of Nashville it has become "New California."
Wherever I see the herd moving I make a conscious effort to go in the opposite direction. When you see a mass migration to a metropolitan area you need to know that many of those people are bringing the same problems they claim they are trying to escape.
You are absolutely right I had to move out of Buckhead because of the drugs the noise the shootings I used to hate Friday and Saturday nights living in an apartment
Yes, totally agree. Moving into a luxury unit doesn’t insulate you from low quality people. Most times when asked they were entrepreneurs but don’t ask to many question’s 😁 Being a business owner myself, it didn’t take long to smell the BS with the responses I received during our building networking sessions. I’m sure PPP loans also played a part in their ability to living in the building prior to then taking advantage of the moratoriums. I too enjoyed the first 6 months in my building and noticed the decline in living quality. The weed smoke, visitors being let in that you knew didn’t live there walking around in the amenities. The late night parties. I soon became familiar with cars being repoed out of the garage. People would literally take the plates off and there would be dust on the cars from being abandoned. These were six figure priced cars. I used to see the people who got out of them and figured how on Earth could they afford them. Needless to say I got out of that building and never looked back. It’s true, with social media and “stunting” or “balling” culture no luxury building is off limits. I now live somewhere and I don’t tell anyone where it is 😁
@marcuse423 They use fake identities and manipulated credit scores to qualify for the cars. Some can cover the payment but just can’t. Others use a large % of their salaries and then beg for the rest.
Atlanta has been like this for decades. I only really lived in Midtown and Buckhead. 2008 - 2010 specifically... It's unbelievable the type of people that live in luxury buildings in Atlanta...
The sad thing is they put thin walls and floors in apartments. They’ll take your rent but won’t solve noise problems. Stop paying your rent as a result and they’ll move quick on you. You definitely need to move to somewhere more quiet. I’ve been though that noise situation before and it really sucks. There’s not much you can do to stop noisy neighbors unless they get into a physical fight and you call the cops on them. The next apartment I rented was the top floor and it was a big difference. I now own a townhouse and they did a great job on the soundproofing.
Go ahead and say it. Once niggas moved in they brought all their bad habits and culture with them. Some latinas and immigrants bring the same energy. Go ahead and say it. Whites were right.
Glad you are getting out! I couldn't live in a spot that nice that has people renting their place out on Airbnb. They let some of any and everybody up in there. Proably was the source of a lot of the fights you were hearing.
I doubt the AirBnB's were causing the majority of his cited issues. The basic civility level in most of these larger east coast cities & metro areas has eroded to the point where avg. people are uncouth, low-mannered bums who don't know how to act. (And they seem to be EVERYWHERE). 🤷🏾♂️

The folks fighting in your building are acting like teenagers because they were never put in a situation where they had to grow up: the environment they've been in their entire adult lives conditioned them to draw as much attention to themselves as possible and take as little personal responsibility as possible. 2) There is no sense of community in major metro areas (LA, ATL, DFW, Miami, etc.): everything is built as cheaply as possible to be consumed as rapidly as possible. Sure, your apartment building looks nice from the outside, but the fact that multiple elevators broke down and the walls are paper-thin is a testament to how the developer had no interest in putting up a building that would benefit its residents or the local community at large (how is the access to public transit there?). I gotta ask: do you know any of your neighbours by name? Or, is everyone there just to move on to uploading or looking at the next Instagram post?
I moved out of a city 3 years ago. Was living in a very nice condo building where mostly people owned, but i was renting for 3K/month. I was there 3 years and loved it until year 3. The neighbors were cool, but i started noticing homeless and drug addicts or mentally ill coming around at night and we started having breakins in the building. I bought a house in a really nice area in the suburbs with golf courses on a lake 3 years ago and love it. I am single but its mostly upper middle class families here. So glad i left the crazy city. And my property has icreased over 50% in 3 years. My best move was getting out of the city.
It really sucks when you think you've found a place that you love and it goes down hill fast. I understand how other people feel when we move in their neighborhoods and they're not happy or welcoming. It's because they know eventually they will have to move after living there for years and they really have a right to be angry about it. One thing I have observed about us is that we love to move into upscale places but have no clue that it takes work, appreciation and mutual respect among neighbors for it to stay that way. So the cycle begins of us running away from the shitty neighborhoods that we create and then act shocked when the nicer places go downhill fast once we come in droves.
Who is 'we' and 'us'? Come on...if its Blacks you're talking about don't label all of 'us' with those behaviors. I've lived in an upscale community with other Black folks for 20 years, and we work, appreciate, and show mutual respect for others.
@@edgesetter7387 Man if the shoe does not fit then move along. Generally when people speak on these things, they are speaking on the majority, not you people in the minority or you specifically. There was no need for you to come and defend yourself.
Yes, a certain level of IQ is a prerequisite to have theory of mind, compassion, empathy/"put yourself in someone else's shoes", anticipate outcomes of actions, etc
I had the same issue in Burbank California rent was $5,000, 4 years ago. I saw the same problems; fights, smoking weed. parties 3 in the morning, street racing, and homeless in the sidewalk everywhere.
I live in a mid sized city in Southern California near Los Angeles. It sucks here and is much worse in LA. Homelessness, drugs, people unable to afford to live/engaging in crime just to get by. Get out of the cities, if you can.
😂 When you mentioned leaving, I knew EXACTLY the reason you were leaving. "Elements" as my mom loves to call them, are getting too close to home. Such a shame, cause the view is beautiful. With whats coming, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near the city. Best of luck on your next home settling.
@th3azscorpio If everyone leaves, the people you’re talking about will eventually follow you to to suburbs and country. I understand why people want to move but someone needs to stay in Atlanta and fight. They have to reclaim their city and require people to act right or else there will be repercussions. People have to band together and change things. Especially Black people. There’s no reason we can’t have 5 men guarding every street for a year like Guardian Angels.
Yeah Buckhead and the city in general unfortunately attracts the wrong crowd of people. At one point in time, Lenox was considered one of the “good” malls. Now it’s seems like there always is a fight or a shooting. Things have gotten better since they implemented all the security measures at the mall though. My wife and I live in a community in Stonecrest where mainly retired folks have homes at. So we don’t have to deal with the foolishness. This is our starter home and plan to eventually move closer to the city. I think some of the best areas closest to the city would be Sandy Springs, Druid Hills, and Brookhaven.
That’s downtown living for you. I live in a luxury high-rise in Los Angeles. Since the pandemic, I can tell management has lowered its standards, let go of the security staff and doorman. Since January we’ve been targeted with multiple vehicle break-ins and at least one murder of a female model which made national news.
I do bodyguard work in l.a my boss asked me why I don't move to l.a. I said you ever seen the walking dead he said yeah I said that's why he laughed he told me I made a good point
I just left Atlanta and stayed at a hotel in Buckhead. I was surprised how ghetto and sketchy Buckhead is. Like I thought Buckhead was supposed to be the upscale area.
@jakelong6860 Just sketchy, nothing race specific. A lot of homeless people, seedy looking establishments, weed smoke everywhere, people running lights and speeding, etc. I just thought Buckhead was a more upscale area of Atlanta and I wasn't impressed at all. Seems like it maybe used to be nice, but has poor administration or something.
@jakelong6860 Yeah, I travel for work and haven't been to Atlanta in years. I was really disappointed, but I've seen similar trends in most cities I go to like Miami and Houston. Then there are cities like Baltimore, Detroit, and St. Louis that have always been crazy.
@@jsb06g What's crazy is we are (black folks) about 55 million in the states and we have no real leaders to demolish and fully rebuild them cities. Like white folks are doing without hesitation.
It’s been 14 years since I’ve lived there I was in Nor-cross I’m in the process of selling my home in Birmingham and was thinking of moving back guess I need to think about this again
I lived in a mid rise, they broke 8nti my mercedes just because didn't take the change in my cup holder. They did take my alcohol wipes though lol. I thought I would be good in an upscale gated community, totally not! The car break in was all it took for me to leave the city smh. You did right moving. You lived that lifestyle now to a new level
I went to college in ATL mid 8o,s and it was big but safe,nice clubs Black Business a real sense of pride,women had class .when i visit now its like a mass evacuation every where with the traffic
Yeah, we evacuated to this exact area due to a hurricane. I thought the area was nice until we walked over to Lenox Mall and noticed police stationed at each escalator with metal detectors. This was enough for me to catch the drift.
The problem is people like y'all (no shade)... Atlanta was an amazing city before all the extra baggage. People bring the issues form thei'r countries and other cities. All major cities with "diversity" are a hot mess. Everyone should return to their countries and cities of origin period. Of course this is wishful thinking
@@officialsyddinprettyWe werent long-term. We were there just to ride out direct hit. I do agree that outsiders brought baggage that spilled over to existing community.
That’s why I stay in Hampton Ga I get peace and quiet. Grew up in Jonesboro and decided I wanted better for my kids. Prices here have shot up over the past few years which is a good thing making this a place for middle class working family. When thing’s are cheap in comes the foolery. Ratchet people love to be close to the city in my opinion.
Bruh. I live in Hyde Park in Chicago and moved here to get away from dealing with craziness of my city. But the noise in my building is annoying and the management doesn’t seem to care.

Is that argument in the beginning of your video at your complex? How you paying all this money and people don’t know how to act! This reminded me when I lived in the Bronx with neighbors arguing and having sex all loud. It’s a common occurrence when you live in the city. I don’t live in NYC anymore because of it.
I use to want to live in those high rises but I figured out early on that wasn’t it for me…parking issues, thin walls, apartments on top of each other, small units… it’s a no for me. Seems like a big hussle to me. A bunch of overpriced apartments just because of location. The city doesn’t have anything I don’t have in the suburbs….plus I have peace, quiet, and space.

I think every man wants that big city experience. I lived in Miami for just over a year in 2005-2006. It was ass. Had a condo in Fort Worth from 2009 to 2019. Not a bad place but the condo hoa was a blood sucker and all the jobs were on the other side of town. Been living in the Sandia Hills on the far east side of Albuquerque. Its so quiet and lovely here. Different story about 4 miles down the road. Too far for the bums to walk and too many hills and speed bumps for any drag racing. All the best to your new home. I know nothing about the Atlanta metro myself.
Long story short (regarding the furniture, etc.) money cannot buy class. People will break their necks and their bank accounts to be in the "happening areas" or to do "happening things" across the board without the couth and wherewithal that goes along with it. I thought I understood this well, but these past few months have really slapped me in the face of really absorbing this, especially how people think it is cool to move and stun so hard it hurts them short-, intermediate-, and long-term. As a native, I can see how your place or Park Avenue (the condos across the street) could fall into this. I loved touring the latter, Oak Valley, Sovereign, etc. over the last couple of years when I was interested in buying (before I bought out in country), but I could easily see the building flip due to inheritance or a trophy wife getting the bag just from the little I've seen. Nevertheless, I'm glad you got to do some true high-rise living for the both of us.
@@Fairster007. That's why I explained to them (above) that it's not an ethnic behavioral issue. It's more correlated to LOW-CLASS behavior (and every ethnic group has it). For example... Go scan thru "The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld" By Herbert Asbury. It explains how many east coast cities were flooded with low-class Irish, Scottish, German, & Italian peasants and how many of them resorted to gang activity in efforts to escape poverty.
As somebody who value peace of mind,and tranquility, i feel ur pain.This is real definition of money can't buy u class.what u think abt buy a house in the suburbs?it will cost less,more privacy, i know not everybody wanna be a homeowner.
2 things .. I work in Birmingham .. AL .. they hit maybe 30 cars where I work all over the city only cars with tented windows… when you hit a tented window the whole window falls perfectly together.. it doesn’t shatter everywhere.. WHAT THEY WAS LOOKING FOR IS GUNS. .. if you don’t have GUNS IN YOUR CAR THEY TAKE NOTHING .. not credit cards no laptop nothing just GUNS O and they got me..
My city which is a small city outside of Philadelphia use to be really bad but thank God it’s changed for the best. No more gun shots etc the people are nicer and mind their business. Walter Lee who is a RUclipsr talks a lot about the city in ATL too.
There’s a delicate art to choosing the right high rise apartment building in Buckhead and Midtown. You have to first check if the garage gate is functioning or not, next is checking the google reviews. Set it to most recent. All apartments will have some bad reviews. But if they have a lot of noise, trash, break in, theft, weed smoke complaints(I would say more than two bad reviews in the past six months) don’t move in. But on the other hand, a good sign is when you see negative reviews from Sharkieshas and Ray Ray talking about how the leasing office staff denied them to lease an apartment or they couldn’t get a proper tour. That’s a good sign that that building is doing everything to deny scamming riff raff and sex workers. Next, if possible always come after 5pm and if you can find the security guard doing his rounds, strike up a nice conversation and slide him a $10 spot. He’ll tell you EVERYTHING about the building. Stay away from the Lenox rd and Lindbergh rd area buildings especially.
They Sound Like ANIMALS, those folks are not acting like Human Beings. Buckhead is not Poverty Row I assure you. Annoys me that people will act like that when they knowingly have neighbors right next to them.
@@SeeknDaTruth Yeah but when he had his mansion there, he would only hear about the issues, not see and live with them first hand. He had piece of mind, but he soon became bored and was starting to become complacent. He moved out and into the city to switch things up fast. HIs first lesson in getting money in 30 days course is being comfortable with non comfortability. He's a living testament of that, once you realize how many times he has changed his channel name, or deleted his channels
Yup, the Lenox/Buckhead situation here reminds me of Beverly Hill. It's completely insane making me sad at the same time. There too much new money ruining everything, and etiquette is seriously lacking there and everywhere.
I saw this coming lived and worked in buckhead i did security in the Phipps building were carter's i could walk over to lenox mall it was choas then i would get off of work i lived in Alpharetta and roswell they didnt played especially Cummings act up if you want. My job moving me there im staying in Cummings or Suwannee

I figured this video would attract the self hate crowd. Those making racial comments seem to be unaware that they can not exclude themselves from the negative classification comments they make
Im in Philly and the homelessness and drug use has definitely gone way up. The 'Zombie'd' drug users used to just be contained in Kensington and Frankfort...now we see a lot more downtown between 2nd and 15th street...They had to shut down the WAWA's and Rite Aids because of all the violence.
It's awful what's happened to Philly. I was here for med school almost half a decade ago, a very down-to-earth city, and now just this morning my husband was accosted outside 711 by someone who was out of his mind (drugs?). I was walking around in broad daylight during the workday and a white woman was passed out on a corner outside an ice cream shop in a nice part"of the city (drugs?). I think it's community collapse. People with stimulation, things to do, a social circle, do not behave like this.
@@tracywalker244 I actually believe the reverse. We have been in a Republican type of economy since Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics. If you feel Dems arent doing anything its because the GOP blocks them on most issues...even if it would help out the average person. Republicans tend to vote on what they believe in and not what benefits the people.
You Sir have just described a horrible living experience. I only make a small fraction of what u do, and I don't have to put up with ANY of that nonsense. NO WAY u should be going through any of that bs, considering how much you're spending. Good luck to u in your new space.

I've got a couple of comments:
1) It seems to me as though Buckhead (and the Atlanta metro in general) does not reward growing up, taking personal responsibility, and acting like an adult--quite the opposite. The folks fighting in your building are acting like teenagers because they were never put in a situation where they had to grow up: the environment they've been in their entire adult lives conditioned them to draw as much attention to themselves as possible and take as little personal responsibility as possible.
2) There is no sense of community in major metro areas (LA, ATL, DFW, Miami, etc.): everything is built as cheaply as possible to be consumed as rapidly as possible. Sure, your apartment building looks nice from the outside, but the fact that multiple elevators broke down and the walls are paper-thin is a testament to how the developer had no interest in putting up a building that would benefit its residents or the local community at large (how is the access to public transit there?). I gotta ask: do you know any of your neighbours by name? Or, is everyone there just to move on to uploading or looking at the next Instagram post?
I actually know a lot of my neihbhors by name but the cool people are moving out left and right there is a moving truck here every day
Walter Lee mentioned this a lot
I moved out of a city 3 years ago. Was living in a very nice condo building where mostly people owned, but i was renting for 3K/month. I was there 3 years and loved it until year 3. The neighbors were cool, but i started noticing homeless and drug addicts or mentally ill coming around at night and we started having breakins in the building. I bought a house in a really nice area in the suburbs with golf courses on a lake 3 years ago and love it. I am single but its mostly upper middle class families here. So glad i left the crazy city. And my property has icreased over 50% in 3 years. My best move was getting out of the city.
It really sucks when you think you've found a place that you love and it goes down hill fast. I understand how other people feel when we move in their neighborhoods and they're not happy or welcoming. It's because they know eventually they will have to move after living there for years and they really have a right to be angry about it. One thing I have observed about us is that we love to move into upscale places but have no clue that it takes work, appreciation and mutual respect among neighbors for it to stay that way. So the cycle begins of us running away from the shitty neighborhoods that we create and then act shocked when the nicer places go downhill fast once we come in droves.
Who is 'we' and 'us'? Come on...if its Blacks you're talking about don't label all of 'us' with those behaviors. I've lived in an upscale community with other Black folks for 20 years, and we work, appreciate, and show mutual respect for others.
@@edgesetter7387 Man if the shoe does not fit then move along. Generally when people speak on these things, they are speaking on the majority, not you people in the minority or you specifically. There was no need for you to come and defend yourself.
Once the rappers started name dropping Lenox mall, Phillips plaza and all the other landmarks in Buckhead I knew it would be downhill from there.
Bingo!
It’s a nice looking place. Too bad some people mess it up for others
Weed smoke non-stop, loud music 24/7, Fights, guns shots and addicted everywhere. NYC
Those people lack conflict resolution skills-which means they’re low IQ. I’ve actually stepped into a situation and calmed it down,but never again!!
Yeah, they are volatile. If I pull up to stop light i avoid eye contact. That triggers them
You were better than me! I would have kept it moving while avoiding eye contact! Not my problem…
Yes, a certain level of IQ is a prerequisite to have theory of mind, compassion, empathy/"put yourself in someone else's shoes", anticipate outcomes of actions, etc
I had the same issue in Burbank California rent was $5,000, 4 years ago. I saw the same problems; fights, smoking weed. parties 3 in the morning, street racing, and homeless in the sidewalk everywhere.
which part of burbank my area is fine
Those high risers also have apartments for low income too. 😢😅
That every major cities pure insanity
0:04 "Get out ma face, ho3!" Ninjas... 😂
Sound like two straggs 😅😩😆
can't blame you. i feel your pain. morals, self respect, and decorum has gone by the wayside
I live in a mid sized city in Southern California near Los Angeles. It sucks here and is much worse in LA. Homelessness, drugs, people unable to afford to live/engaging in crime just to get by. Get out of the cities, if you can.
I live in Milton,the serenity in this area is priceless.Its brilliant this side.
Sounds like a wise decision to move on from the urban chaos.
😂 When you mentioned leaving, I knew EXACTLY the reason you were leaving. "Elements" as my mom loves to call them, are getting too close to home. Such a shame, cause the view is beautiful. With whats coming, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near the city. Best of luck on your next home settling.
I got it too. Right away. 95% it be your own people. Ninjas!
@@1233-h1 🎯🎯🎯 You know it! 😂 Georgia is still lovely, but I'll take the outskirts, and rural areas.
@th3azscorpio If everyone leaves, the people you’re talking about will eventually follow you to to suburbs and country. I understand why people want to move but someone needs to stay in Atlanta and fight. They have to reclaim their city and require people to act right or else there will be repercussions. People have to band together and change things. Especially Black people. There’s no reason we can’t have 5 men guarding every street for a year like Guardian Angels.
Elements…LOL. A friend a mine moved to Atlanta years ago and he said the “n*gger factor”was strong there. 😂
They always hit the tinted cars on any side of the city. It's always what could be inside that makes them treat it like a loot box.
Yeah Buckhead and the city in general unfortunately attracts the wrong crowd of people. At one point in time, Lenox was considered one of the “good” malls. Now it’s seems like there always is a fight or a shooting. Things have gotten better since they implemented all the security measures at the mall though. My wife and I live in a community in Stonecrest where mainly retired folks have homes at. So we don’t have to deal with the foolishness. This is our starter home and plan to eventually move closer to the city. I think some of the best areas closest to the city would be Sandy Springs, Druid Hills, and Brookhaven.
New Money vs Old Money. Reminds me of NYC/Manhattan 1970's.
Thank you for sharing. For being so open, helpful, and insightful.
That’s downtown living for you. I live in a luxury high-rise in Los Angeles. Since the pandemic, I can tell management has lowered its standards, let go of the security staff and doorman. Since January we’ve been targeted with multiple vehicle break-ins and at least one murder of a female model which made national news.
I do bodyguard work in l.a my boss asked me why I don't move to l.a. I said you ever seen the walking dead he said yeah I said that's why he laughed he told me I made a good point
Thottin it up is real in the ATL
I moved out of the city and don’t regret the move. All the problems you mention told me to leave asap.
I just left Atlanta and stayed at a hotel in Buckhead. I was surprised how ghetto and sketchy Buckhead is. Like I thought Buckhead was supposed to be the upscale area.
When you say ghetto do you mean black or just run down.
@jakelong6860 Just sketchy, nothing race specific. A lot of homeless people, seedy looking establishments, weed smoke everywhere, people running lights and speeding, etc. I just thought Buckhead was a more upscale area of Atlanta and I wasn't impressed at all. Seems like it maybe used to be nice, but has poor administration or something.
@@jsb06g Yeah back in 92 it was better I heard.
@jakelong6860 Yeah, I travel for work and haven't been to Atlanta in years. I was really disappointed, but I've seen similar trends in most cities I go to like Miami and Houston. Then there are cities like Baltimore, Detroit, and St. Louis that have always been crazy.
@@jsb06g What's crazy is we are (black folks) about 55 million in the states and we have no real leaders to demolish and fully rebuild them cities. Like white folks are doing without hesitation.
It’s been 14 years since I’ve lived there I was in Nor-cross I’m in the process of selling my home in Birmingham and was thinking of moving back guess I need to think about this again
I lived in a mid rise, they broke 8nti my mercedes just because didn't take the change in my cup holder. They did take my alcohol wipes though lol. I thought I would be good in an upscale gated community, totally not! The car break in was all it took for me to leave the city smh. You did right moving. You lived that lifestyle now to a new level
Unbelievable for such a high end place
Ninjas will always mess up an area
I went to college in ATL mid 8o,s and it was big but safe,nice clubs Black Business a real sense of pride,women had class .when i visit now its like a mass evacuation every where with the traffic
A good title for this video would be "My apartment review with extra thoughts" lol
$3200 USD per month for a one bedroom JESUS 😳 🙃 😬
Yeah, we evacuated to this exact area due to a hurricane. I thought the area was nice until we walked over to Lenox Mall and noticed police stationed at each escalator with metal detectors. This was enough for me to catch the drift.
The problem is people like y'all (no shade)... Atlanta was an amazing city before all the extra baggage. People bring the issues form thei'r countries and other cities. All major cities with "diversity" are a hot mess. Everyone should return to their countries and cities of origin period. Of course this is wishful thinking
@@officialsyddinprettyWe werent long-term. We were there just to ride out direct hit. I do agree that outsiders brought baggage that spilled over to existing community.
You have balance in your life and what you're witnessing is a unbalanced society.
It’s a building in a litt city … you need a house bro , they serve drinks at the car wash what do you expect 🤷🏾♂️ it’s like another Miami
Amazing how much I strongly agree with You on many of these topics!
That’s why I stay in Hampton Ga I get peace and quiet. Grew up in Jonesboro and decided I wanted better for my kids. Prices here have shot up over the past few years which is a good thing making this a place for middle class working family. When thing’s are cheap in comes the foolery. Ratchet people love to be close to the city in my opinion.
Bruh. I live in Hyde Park in Chicago and moved here to get away from dealing with craziness of my city. But the noise in my building is annoying and the management doesn’t seem to care.
Oh no, not Hyde Park, the bourgeoise negro area! 😂
There should be a jail for public loud mouths if they aren't speaking to a crowd that WANTS to listen to them.

Everyone wants to live in BuckHood… high rise living looks great until you actually experience it. Even visiting people that live in them is a hassle.
Is that argument in the beginning of your video at your complex? How you paying all this money and people don’t know how to act! This reminded me when I lived in the Bronx with neighbors arguing and having sex all loud. It’s a common occurrence when you live in the city. I don’t live in NYC anymore because of it.
I use to want to live in those high rises but I figured out early on that wasn’t it for me…parking issues, thin walls, apartments on top of each other, small units… it’s a no for me. Seems like a big hussle to me. A bunch of overpriced apartments just because of location. The city doesn’t have anything I don’t have in the suburbs….plus I have peace, quiet, and space.
Unfortunately my Brotha, The Gremlins / Demos are everywhere. Black or White. Like Rich Folks in Their Gated Communities, they still will have to Come out to get Food.

The creeps come out at night. 😄
I think every man wants that big city experience. I lived in Miami for just over a year in 2005-2006. It was ass. Had a condo in Fort Worth from 2009 to 2019. Not a bad place but the condo hoa was a blood sucker and all the jobs were on the other side of town. Been living in the Sandia Hills on the far east side of Albuquerque. Its so quiet and lovely here. Different story about 4 miles down the road. Too far for the bums to walk and too many hills and speed bumps for any drag racing.
All the best to your new home. I know nothing about the Atlanta metro myself.
Bro im not gonna lie i would not be living in buckhead as a veteran im too paranoid !i would def pop a cap in a robber ass. i live in the outskirts
Long story short (regarding the furniture, etc.) money cannot buy class. People will break their necks and their bank accounts to be in the "happening areas" or to do "happening things" across the board without the couth and wherewithal that goes along with it. I thought I understood this well, but these past few months have really slapped me in the face of really absorbing this, especially how people think it is cool to move and stun so hard it hurts them short-, intermediate-, and long-term. As a native, I can see how your place or Park Avenue (the condos across the street) could fall into this. I loved touring the latter, Oak Valley, Sovereign, etc. over the last couple of years when I was interested in buying (before I bought out in country), but I could easily see the building flip due to inheritance or a trophy wife getting the bag just from the little I've seen. Nevertheless, I'm glad you got to do some true high-rise living for the both of us.
one word...Ninjas. too many anywhere , quality of life nosedives🤷🏽♂️
😂 You know it. Everywhere, all the time. I see the videos on my feed all the time. Its a shame, it is what it is. Cant have nothing around em'.
All day everyday.
@RedPillZulu. rEdN*cK ghetto @$$ people behave in a similar way. It's low class culture. 🤷🏾♂️
Brother man some of my bean eating gang members compadres made living in a Hispanic neighborhood no bueno, every race has bad apples
@@Fairster007. That's why I explained to them (above) that it's not an ethnic behavioral issue. It's more correlated to LOW-CLASS behavior (and every ethnic group has it). For example...
Go scan thru "The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld" By Herbert Asbury.
It explains how many east coast cities were flooded with low-class Irish, Scottish, German, & Italian peasants and how many of them resorted to gang activity in efforts to escape poverty.
Sad to see Buckhead in decline. Hopefully this can reversed because Buckhead was the nicest part of urban Atlanta.
As somebody who value peace of mind,and tranquility, i feel ur pain.This is real definition of money can't buy u class.what u think abt buy a house in the suburbs?it will cost less,more privacy, i know not everybody wanna be a homeowner.
2 things .. I work in Birmingham .. AL ..
they hit maybe 30 cars where I work all over the city only cars with tented windows… when you hit a tented window the whole window falls perfectly together.. it doesn’t shatter everywhere.. WHAT THEY WAS LOOKING FOR IS GUNS. .. if you don’t have GUNS IN YOUR CAR THEY TAKE NOTHING .. not credit cards no laptop nothing just GUNS
O and they got me..
Go build you a house on the outskirts of the city grab you like 2 acres… you’ll have your peace and your space and save money
My city which is a small city outside of Philadelphia use to be really bad but thank God it’s changed for the best. No more gun shots etc the people are nicer and mind their business. Walter Lee who is a RUclipsr talks a lot about the city in ATL too.
There’s a delicate art to choosing the right high rise apartment building in Buckhead and Midtown. You have to first check if the garage gate is functioning or not, next is checking the google reviews. Set it to most recent. All apartments will have some bad reviews. But if they have a lot of noise, trash, break in, theft, weed smoke complaints(I would say more than two bad reviews in the past six months) don’t move in. But on the other hand, a good sign is when you see negative reviews from Sharkieshas and Ray Ray talking about how the leasing office staff denied them to lease an apartment or they couldn’t get a proper tour. That’s a good sign that that building is doing everything to deny scamming riff raff and sex workers. Next, if possible always come after 5pm and if you can find the security guard doing his rounds, strike up a nice conversation and slide him a $10 spot. He’ll tell you EVERYTHING about the building. Stay away from the Lenox rd and Lindbergh rd area buildings especially.
They Sound Like ANIMALS, those folks are not acting like Human Beings. Buckhead is not Poverty Row I assure you. Annoys me that people will act like that when they knowingly have neighbors right next to them.
You might be the only millionaire in that building.
You were better off staying in Sandy Springs.
Sandy Springs isn't that better
@@SeeknDaTruth Yeah but when he had his mansion there, he would only hear about the issues, not see and live with them first hand. He had piece of mind, but he soon became bored and was starting to become complacent. He moved out and into the city to switch things up fast. HIs first lesson in getting money in 30 days course is being comfortable with non comfortability. He's a living testament of that, once you realize how many times he has changed his channel name, or deleted his channels
Damn Glendon sounds like you were living in white oak Silver Spring with me!!! High Rises are for the birds
Yup, the Lenox/Buckhead situation here reminds me of Beverly Hill. It's completely insane making me sad at the same time. There too much new money ruining everything, and etiquette is seriously lacking there and everywhere.
I saw this coming lived and worked in buckhead i did security in the Phipps building were carter's i could walk over to lenox mall it was choas then i would get off of work i lived in Alpharetta and roswell they didnt played especially Cummings act up if you want. My job moving me there im staying in Cummings or Suwannee
Sounds l Iike alot of roomate fall outs. I see this in Cali all the time > Peace of Mind is Priceless
Just move to Sandy Springs Grandpa!
My dad was Atalanta about month ago and he said it’s looking bad I’m in Chicagoland area 30 min west of Chicago downtown Chicago is looking like the hood now
I figured this video would attract the self hate crowd. Those making racial comments seem to be unaware that they can not exclude themselves from the negative classification comments they make
Im in Philly and the homelessness and drug use has definitely gone way up. The 'Zombie'd' drug users used to just be contained in Kensington and Frankfort...now we see a lot more downtown between 2nd and 15th street...They had to shut down the WAWA's and Rite Aids because of all the violence.
It's awful what's happened to Philly. I was here for med school almost half a decade ago, a very down-to-earth city, and now just this morning my husband was accosted outside 711 by someone who was out of his mind (drugs?). I was walking around in broad daylight during the workday and a white woman was passed out on a corner outside an ice cream shop in a nice part"of the city (drugs?). I think it's community collapse. People with stimulation, things to do, a social circle, do not behave like this.
@@jmt2192 You taught me a new word today, "accosted".
It will never get better as long as the people keep voting for the democrats.
@@tracywalker244 I actually believe the reverse. We have been in a Republican type of economy since Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics. If you feel Dems arent doing anything its because the GOP blocks them on most issues...even if it would help out the average person. Republicans tend to vote on what they believe in and not what benefits the people.
crazy is coming
Some people are really dysfunctional and yes they probably are concentrated in the cities because life is easier there.
My neighbors rooster reminds me daily 3am is the witching hour
You Sir have just described a horrible living experience. I only make a small fraction of what u do, and I don't have to put up with ANY of that nonsense. NO WAY u should be going through any of that bs, considering how much you're spending. Good luck to u in your new space.
I have had no bad experience in the vinings 👌🏿
Sir, the easiest way to live a quiet life is to move to dunwoody. You’re literally bleeding cash and sanity.
Dunwoody is the last stand 😂😂😂😂
Dunwoody is nice but you will have to deal with the Old Karens harassing you.
@@SeeknDaTruth I’ve been praying for one of those moments tbh lol…
Buck head has always been considered the nice part of the city . Maybe it’s just the city life in general now
A one bedroom that’s 1700 sq ft? What else is in the apartment to cover that much space?
Sounds like New York. Just switch out the names.
🤣
Omg, call the moving company ASAP.
I feel sorry for your situation. Living in the concrete jungle is very much like a zoo.
