I've lived in Gwinnett for about 22 years. It's getting nearly as bad as Atlanta. Just sold the house and looking for another one over in Haralson, Polk, or Floyd counties on the west side of the state. We just moved the company office to Bremen to escape the tentacles of Atlanta reaching out and spreading the disease.
Those tentacles aren't Atlanta. They're Mexico. Gwinnett has gone taco-flavored extremely quickly. All those Brady Bunch-era split-levels south of Berzerkely Lake are Hispanic now. It's disgusting. You can basically live in the hood, Mexico, or BFE now. (And the people that can are largely taking the BFE route, which has definite drawbacks for the metro as a whole.)

Those Mexicans aren't the problem. They are hard working people who are mostly here legally on visa and many are actually legal citizens who went through the process. It's their kids that grow up here and as teenagers reject the morals and values their parents tried to instill and get caught up in gang shite.
If my neighborhood was going to get taken over by any particular race or nationality, Mexican is closer to the top of my list than the bottom, as far as preference. Edit- Legal Mexicans, that is.

Very true. Our neighborhood in Lawrenceville is rapidly becoming a English as a Second Language neighborhood. It's a shame too. Nice, older homes with mature trees in the yards, quiet streets, well maintained properties. . . Demographics are rapidly changing as the older folks die out or sell off to move on. A whole new section of new townhouses has gone up at the edge of the neighborhood for $420,000 each and another hundred units are in the process of being built.
Once peaceful evenings are filled with very loud mariachi music every Friday and Saturday night during the warmer months, accompanied by the sound of Hondas, Toyotas, and Nissans with spoilers and over-sized exhausts on them. (They kinda sound like a suped-up Singer sewing machine about ready to throw a rod.)
The wife and I are taking our coonhound and bailing for a much quieter rural scene. Gwinnett is in a rapid decline. Only thing I'll miss about it is putting the boat in at Abbotts Bridge and catching trout on the 'Hooch. But even THAT'S damned near impossible to enjoy in the summers when it's filled full of drunk, stoned, rowdy tubers who ruin the fishing and jam up the boat ramps.
