You could certainly spin this story to be more about greed, but its hard to overlook the overtones.
The basic story is that there's an older cemetery for black, mostly enslaved people, outside of Atlanta - one which has multiple generations dating back to before the civil war. A developer bought the land and wanted to relocate the bodies to elsewhere. Legal action ensued, and the developer agreed to leave the cemetery in place, and to maintain it, and give the public - especially the family - access to it.
Only, he fell short of his promises and blames the HOA and the families for lack of access and maintenance. They are suing to rectify the situation.
What I find offputting is how easily this developer just moves on when there's no money to be made. And worse so when the people who are afflicted are ignored because they aren't able to help him financially.
