@publichousingstory- all projects in Chicago are/were not high rises. There are mid and low rises too (some in Cabrini and Lathrop homes, among others).

As for the video, good group of pictures but your commentary was utterly idiotic (more like a 6th grader than a 12th grader). Do a little more research, lay off the stereotypes and cliches, and learn how to spell, please.
