I only know about my local ones in philly: Wilson Park, Tasker Homes, and Passyunk. All single floor apartments spread out with courtyards
They aren't known for anything nationally.
I've been in Richard Allen Homes in north Philly which was a high rise. Older people may have heard of it thru rap with Ram Squad and Tommy Gunz (rip)
Went in there with my friend and his drug dealer brother to see some girl

enlighten me.
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...
The baddest jawns that were my clients came through that piece, but 
them bytches have no shame in the game at all.eastsideTT

the 70s - 90s accounts of Chicago's housing is insane 
its easy to blame a lot of the problems on the failures on the physical designs of towers and superblocks, but thats complete bullshyt. places like co-op city and masaryk towers are designed the same exact way and the quality of life there is way different compared to a true public, NYCHA ran property. shyt, Masaryk is literally surrounded by projects, some of them "bad", and its a desirable place to live with good management, community and resources. residents of those places arent well off by any means, they still technically get a subsidy and pay based on income, but they are owners and not renters, and have a vested interest in the place. there are still people there with zero dollars, income, mental illness, drug abuse, etc... but the overall vibe is different.
a lot of these programs could be successful. its a shame to see various housing authorities in trouble financially STILL.
overall, people have to look at the bigger picture and realize that stretch from the late 70s to the 90s is the exception and not the rule. the perfect shytstorm of extenuating circumstances and failures. the reputation of entire communities and public programs shouldnt be based on a 15 year dark period
now is the time, now more than ever, to try to do public housing RIGHT in this country
