I brought up Sweet Auburn because it was a particularly rich Black neighborhood and therefore an example supporting the point about what happened after “white people would get envious,” specifically.
If we’re just talking about historical Black neighborhoods that were razed for public works projects, I could cite plenty more examples just in Atlanta alone (Lightning, Butttermilk Bottom, etc.) 'cause pushing out poor Black people like that happened all the time (and in fact still does, albeit somewhat less blatantly).
