  • Im from New Orleans and Atlanta and every other hood in this country seem to be goin through the same where they knockin down these projects. The shit just aint rite where the government dont wanna help people get on their feet and live better

  • Yeah cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, and Chicago- cities really known for their housing projects- seem to be getting the raw deal. It's definitely upsetting.

  • @terminuszone1 - I wonder what is it about NY where the city feels their housing project program is successful. Its projects all thru NY. But no one cares. What is about the Chi, A, NO, DC. I once read that NY has the only successful project program in the country. Its wild down in PRico too w/ the PJs. I used to live next to some in PR. PJs all over the place down there. Kind of like Brazil's favelas. Wild as hell. Just lawless.

  • Honestly, I think cities like Atlanta, NO, and CHI had to get rid of their projects like this because of the extreme crime problems...most other cities don't have projects as concentrated with crime. I'm sure all projects have crime but not like the ones in these cities.  NY projects are out in the open where people can walk around them safely. Atlanta's are secluded. Imagine having a highrise downtown with thousands of business people walking around them all day....

  • Whats the worst zone in ATL ? i know it aint Zone 6 cuz there aint shit in Zone 6 its just the sticks lol prob zone 1 or 3 right ?

  • Yeah I would say zone 1 or zone 3

see all

  • Does anyone know the name of the housing project that was on Cunningham Place Street, Atlanta, in 1966? I don't know if it was Cunningham Place, or if that was only the street name.

  • @Atlien3 Mechanicsville*

  • @sk8forlife90 to displace poor people so they can build high rise condos and make $

  • @iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa worst part of ATL is prob zone 1 Bankhead, Da Bluff. Simpson then prob parts of Pittsburgh and Mechansville

  • @terminuszone1 I dont think its successful in nyc man I think there is just too many residents that would be displaced, u gotta remember over 1 million people live in public housing in NYC

  • capitol homes was the shit, i used to live near oakland cemetery,east atlanta
