If anything, this will only increase violence. I remember how bad things were in New Orleans after the St. Thomas got shut down.

o block having good people means nothing. If you can’t police your own community this is what happens.

It is on the U.S. Register of Historic Places for architectural significance (Modernist design) and role in African-American community development in Chicago after the Great Migration.

Birthplace of Chief Keef, King Von, and drill music but also Michelle Obama and known as the first black owned co-op in America. In its heyday when first built was praised for modern appliances, heating, and large units.

Nah it's true

Parkway Garden Homes, also known as O Block, is a low-income apartment complex located in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. The complex was built from 1950 to 1955; architect Henry K. Holsman, who planned several of Chicago's affordable housing developments, designed the Modernist buildings. The apartment complex was the first to be cooperatively owned by Chicago's African-American residents, who experienced a housing shortage during the Second Great Migration due to segregation; early residents included former First Lady Michelle Obama, and recent residents include rappers Chief Keef (formerly) and King Von. Many other notable artists and music producers have come from Parkway Gardens as well. In recent years, however, the complex has become the center of one of Chicago's most violent blocks. The complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
