I think it's more this as well but again, no way to determine it.

Yup...I'm one of the recent churn-outs.

Does it matter? If blacks want to live in suburbs, they can.

You may also have high walkability in select suburbs.

There are plenty more blacks who desire to live in Atlanta than Houston, that's for sure. In fact, I think blacks see Atlanta up there with NYC and L.A. for glitz and glamour and it doesn't help that films and tv shows continue to do operations here along with the large amount of rap/hip hop artists starting careers here.

Transplant cities are generally the most successful cities these days. Cities with a large legacy population are generally the ones in decline - St Louis, Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Oakland, etc.

Uh the same type of threads are made in the Hoiston forum and yeah several of them were Blacks from different parts of the country. There are probably plenty more Blacks that would choose Atlanta over Houston. Never my argument. But his comment that people wish to move to Atlanta compared to people have to move to Houston is false.

Oh, I agree with that. He just says silly things. He's quite possibly the largest Atlanta booster on the forums so I tend to ignore a lot of things he says.
