Imaging where the community would be if more entertainers did this!? Kudos to TIP for preventing displacement.

They shouldn't have to depend on an entertainer. That's stupid! They voted to be slaves! Supposed grown ups! Yes we can talk about them! They called the country racists, when they are mental slaves! They are in voluntary bandage. Don't start non won't be none! We wouldn't have nothing to say if they didn't come for us first.

@citizencoy4393 The issue is, most of the people who try to do things for the community they grew up in either get hated on or wind up damn near dying. Look at Nipsey Hussle, which isn't an outlier.

Big props to TI, he's been having his development company for affordable housing for years. Good to see he linked up with the mayor!!
TI owns many properties all over Bankhead. I’m so happy that he is slowly building in the community. Looking forward to a grocery store making their way there. It’s all a matter of time before the community is revitalize for the better.
Please do background checks and do not take in the unfortunate no drug dealers, no domestic violence. Love what you doing T.I. and your Family ❤❤❤
$34 an hour jobs ? WHERE ? At any rate, Let's hope the majority of Atlanta developers follow this example and build housing for the middle class in other parts of the city.

I hope TI passes the apartment complex everyday with extreme joy in his heart. Its one thing to have a vision, but what a feeling to see it come to life. From rapper to real estate. Im here for it!
Now this is DOPE! Salute to T.I. and ALL involved in making this vision come to life. Incredible to see man.
People need to give TI his flowers. This man is creating opportunities and housing. God works through his strongest soldiers.
I JUST HOPE WE THE PEOPLE CAN KEEP UP THE COMMUNITY, KEEPING IT CLEAN IN AND OUT, NO VIOLENCE ECT....

Yea, it was a joke along with some truth to it. There is a wealth gap between extremely wealthy ppl and really broke ppl in the Atlanta area. They average that to get a high median. That's why the average is that high per hour but you won't find anyone getting $34/hr in reality. The ppl who can average that out or more are salaried managers level and to actually afford to live there you have to be VP or SVP level. I made out pretty good post college but even then commuted bc of price, and with parking and paying student loans, I barely made food and rent. That's why you will see million dollar homes and a few block over is public housing.

Because I hate to say it but low income ppl don’t appreciate what’s given to them. They allow their kids to ruin the properties, the parents don’t take care the inside of the apartments, they trash the dumpsters with furniture and trash bags. It’s like they don’t appreciate anything given to them and don’t know how to act. It’s embarrassing and they’re only making it harder on themselves. It’s why so many ppl don’t accept section 8 anymore because they already know the huge risk they’re taking with their place being ruined
I commend TI and the others involved for their generosity and investing in his former community.
blessings to others in need thank you brother T.I. god bless🙏
Ti Has Always stood on business how many rappers done this i love it god bless Ti and his Fam
Magic Johnson had a vision too. Blk on Blk crime forced him to sell and close all his theaters. I see this no better. There is nothing wrong with the building; its the people who live in it that will destroy the vision.

If there is section 8 or if it will ran by the city of Atlanta, they usually require periodic inspections. Those who keep failing the inspection have to leave the building. It will remain a nice place to live if the right people are in place to manage it and the people who live there are held accountable.

I wish people would stop down talking this man, his wife, his family and his footprint. Real Gs come up, contribute and give back. Tip a real one.
Wait, the average individual makes $34/hr? Aren't we seeing the rise of AI and robots making a wave in the job market?
AMAZING. I love him and Tiny together. Too bad JayZ doesn’t follow suit.🤷🏾♀️🤔
Congratulations, it’s great to see him give back to his community as well as his wife.
Love this, we need more people to do this.
Well done Tip 🎉❤
Wonderful news 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This Is So Wonderful & I Love It🥰
Giving back is what it's all about. Thanks T.I..
This is what it’s about! Talk about leaving a legacy, but more importantly, helping families with more affordable housing and truly changing the landscape in your city!
🙏Thank you TI for investing in Bankhead.
“The average person makes $34 an hour in Atlanta according to Zip Recruiter, as falsely reported by Fox👀🎥📚💰. Girl, I moved from Atlanta to Los Angeles and I barely make $15 an hour💯.
Thanks T I you',re the greatest
The problem is Not Housing for Most it's Wages Backwards America
Was the $34 a hr correct? That doesn't sound bad to me 🤔
Thanks TI. I am an AIRFORCE VETERAN that are proud of you and mayor, and etc for the kind and needed living quarters for that valuable community. Thank God Bless 🙌 🙏

Did she just say the average person in Atlanta makes $34 an hour ? I don't think you need affordable housing if you make that much an hour ! But props to ti for looking out for his community.
I give it a couple of months before the tenants dirty it up
It's been awhile...💞

Now for the hard part, not allowing the place to become a project. Hopefully they can maintain it and keep it a good place to live.
Sad to say but our people( hood blacks) will ruin this nice affordable housing. Sad to say but true.

If the tenants are INVE$TED in the property, it would be better for the community. Ownership should be the priority
Isn't that something I think about this thought all the time if I had the money I would do something to help somebody else those that have can do the same if cared enough 🎉❤🙏
I’m not even from Atlanta but when I heard $34 an hour….I instantly thought, “CAAAAAAP!” 😂😂😂😂 but nonetheless AWESOME STRIDE TIP!!!!! But back to that $34….mannnnnn shiiiiiiiid, WHERE!?
Nothing but love. We are are BIGGEST PROBLEM but we also our BIGGEST SOLUTIONS.
Thank goodness for TI for assistance his people. To other celebrities take a page out of his book. Celebrities in the African American communities instead of enrich yourselves try enriching your communities and African American communities would better for it as a whole. Well done T.I. as bible state when do to the lest of these you do onto me.

That’s definitely what’s up a rapper using his platform to give back to the neighborhood
