What are the most notorious housing projects in America?

[KENNY DA COOKER]

I grew up in Memorial parkway projects in New Brunswick during the late 70s ..early 80s....

It was in the midst of the Rutgers University campus....

So we had a lot of diversity as well....

It was a fun and interesting experience..loved my childhood there

But mane...I fought every other week....and every fight seemed like a different ethnic kid I had to fight...



Cause I had a slick mouth accoridng to alot of kids


Puerto Rican... African....Dominican....etc

Then one day when they found out I was moving they all jumped me ...

My cousin said it looked like a United Nations coalition whipped my azz




Soundview Projects in the BX my ex stayed there ......this was during the time Sex Money Murder was making it's present known..

Didn't think much of it till we came back from grocery shopping one day and found out two crackheads got thrown off the roof of one of the Buildings like Stray Dogs



Frazier Homes in Savannah Georgia.hands down probably the FINEST PROJECT WOMEN ON EARTH!!!!!!



I can't tell you how many times I risked my life obtaining some project puzzy during those days when I was attending college down south during that time...

A notorious project in NYC that is not known through hip hop is Prospect Plaza in Brownsville which was torn down but had similar issues that were similar to Cabrini Green in Chicago.

Another notorious housing project is Louis H Pink houses in East New York. I think even currently today it is still one of the top 5-10 worst housing projects in the entire city.

Gravesend Projects in Coney Island and Walt Whitman/Ingersoll houses in Forte Green are also notorious (or use to be).

Even though Queensbridge is known through hip hop I always felt that the projects not far from there called Astoria Houses was much more hot.

I don’t know much about projects in Harlem or The Bronx but Wagner Houses in East Harlem was known to be notorious also.

Oh yea Stapleton in Staten Island is pretty notorious and technically speaking Park Hill is not a housing project but those buildings are pretty notorious as well.

^^ those two spots and Jersey St are three places in Staten Island that Jersey dudes and other NYC dudes should never sleep on despite the Staten Island jokes.

What about the Desire?

Compared to the projects on the east cost and Midwest they small af bro

 

[blockboy504]

Cabrini Green got the most publicity I believe, plus you got the Candyman film and shyt like that

They were all the same shyt. And those two projects weren’t the only notorious ones in Chicago

Breh the projects in the south be small af and I’m thankful for it.

Them nikkas up north in Chicago & NYC built mini city projects. Like breh posted nikkas was getting sniped off the 13th floor of a big ass building and shyt

Getting tossed off your own balcony on the 15th floor

Fam I can’t picture living on the 4th floor let alone the fukking 15th floor lawd

Bruh the projects buildings in New York and Chicago so damn big I’m glad our projects in New Orleans was small compared to them shyts them hoes was huge

I’m a born and raised New Yorker but I was shocked at how tall Polo Grounds was when I first did a tour of Harlem when I was like 21.

Fun fact. Boston slightly Has a higher ratio of people living in housing projects than NYC.

Tallest housing project building in NYC is Atlantic Terminal with 31 floors.

Tallest housing project complex is polo grounds with 30 floors.

I’m not living on no 30th floor of any NYCHA ran building

Candyman was in Cabrini Green, not in ABLA

Cabrini was NO JOKE

Yep. Good times and Cooley high were also set in cabrini

Hardball was shot in abla though.
