What are the most notorious housing projects in America?

[EndDomination]

drop some stories you heard

What's the deal with Robert Taylor homes? Corey Holcomb always talk about being from there and seeing wild shyt but he doesn't like going into detail about it lmao

People used to just get clapped in the stairs, sirens all night until they stopped even showing up, smaller gangs (an offshoot of the GDs ran it when I was a kid), a lot of open rapes, piss smell everywhere, hand to hand dealing on every single floor, etc.

Thing was, the majority of young men and women that lived there were unemployed, and went to broken schools. It was hopeless.

Yeah, Cabrini, Robert Taylor, Queensbridge all same shyt.

Products of redlining and housing discrimination

How big was Cabrini Greene and how many ppl did it hold? I heard it stretched for miles not sure if that's true though.

Maybe 15,000?
Was never an official number. And it was both buildings and row houses.

The worst PJ’s I’ve been to was St. Bernard’s in New Orleans pre Katrina.

A lot of the units didn’t even have doors and windows. People were literally using bed sheets over frames as doors. There was mud everywhere and the had these big ass rats, called neutral rats. They looked like half rat-half possum.

The story of Girl-X is so fukking sad. There’s an updated article on how the home she’s in cannot have her anymore because of her age.

The missing toddler who vanished without a trace is sad as well, but I hope she was “adopted” and lives a normal life...

Which was worse Robert Taylor or Cabrini?

 

[ISO]

Was QB among the worst projects in the city at the time or was its rep based more off music?

Which was worse Robert Taylor or Cabrini?

Dude, Cabrini was on a whole nother level than probably anywhere in the country.

They used to have snipers shooting off the roof at cops.

They used to throw people off the roof

Girls were getting raped left & right.

It was insane.

Never went there, but the stories I've heard from folks who lived there were
