Good for the people he will employ.

What will their pay rate be tho..

[bellwetherr]

there's like no room in los angeles for something like this - plus atlanta has always had amazing tax breaks for tv and film projects done there

[jarellano89]

There are soooo many empty buildings in the city, just rotting away. Tear those fuckers down if they're not gonna use them for homeless shelters.

[bellwetherr]

oh i'm sure! i just kept thinking about how massive his studio was and there's no like concurrent plots of land he could have snatched up

This is amazing. And congrats to Tyler.

HOWEVER it confirms my theory that marginalised groups will always have to build shit for themselves, rather than be welcomed into old structures and systems that are open to or willing to change. Fuck Hollywood.

was this really a theory? i mean....HBCU's exists for a reason.

[luna_incognita]

No idea what an HBCU.

And yes, it's a theory. It's MY theory, as stated.

Oh it’s even more weird when it’s a set...but some shit actually works (water faucets ) but some shit doesn’t (doors). 😂

I appreciate the giant "fuck you" to the past of him using an old confederate base. Rock on, Tyler Perry.
