Guns gun violence

I grew up in the projects. Small city 17k people. They are all the same. Crime, drugs plenty of violence daily. I’m from Canada. Projects are projects. 95% single mothers.

The thing I don't get is, the old ghettos that the irish, Italian and Jewish gangsters came from are now really nice areas. Those gangsters put money back into their community. They started with simple things like restaurants and shops and turned their community around. We just make it worse and worse. No organisation and no real care for the community.

It’s the set of Good Times!

The brother talking to Studs Terkel about the possibilities in the Taylor homes was actually named Renault Robinson. Don't be fooled by the racist subtitles. ;-)

The first problem is population control. Too many young children born into impossible situations. Government assistance was meant to be a temporary crutch not a way of life.

What is the UK equivalent of housing projects or section 8 housing?

Please make a Part 2. Theres a lot thats left out

I seen when the young lady got ran over by the guys gf in the pink houses parking lot. The gf got charged for the murder

Nice try but you can't help a people who won't help themselves.

Good Documentary, is there a part 2? Projects in LA, Boston, Baltimore, Atlanta, Dallas/ Houston etc ?

People watching these hood videos just havent been there. Its hungry kids without diapers. Its people being thrown down stairs and bullet holes in the walls. Jus sayin.

They had 12 foot basketball rims in the brewsters so ppl wouldn’t keep stealing the rims😂 I used to go over there wit my auntie back in the day, nothing seem that bad as a kid when you all you know is hood shit fr

public housing should be more for people who truly need it not lazy people who dont wanna work

💥💥Should've had the East Capitol dwellings in Washington DC on here. In fact you could've had a lot of housing projects from Washington DC, The Frederick Douglass dwelling, Barry farms, East Gate projects, highland dwellings, Langston Lane, Lincoln heights, Sursum corda, woodland terrace, valley green, sky tower, Wahler place, Wheeler terrace apartments and many more. People would be surprised how many projects were in Washington DC. Virtually the whole darn city was mostly low income housing besides the downtown area probably the north west area for the most part. When i first came down here i was floored, because that was not how in envision Washington DC the nation capitol to be.

The big problem with that housing is that the people themselves are the problem

I’m so grateful my father worked his ass off to keep his family out of the projects! We only lived in homes. My father has died now but he left me his home and I’m so grateful for.

We had 28 high rises in the Robert Taylor homes.

Starting with Candyman is epic

They are very bad

Thank You for showing this video , I used to live in Cabrini Green years ago , it was a truly terrifying experience , God Bless all the survivors , AMEN !

The ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE conversation held within the video link I've posted here taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know about what my local Minneapolis government was doing within their direct political involvement in George Floyd's death. I hope you all have watched Liz Collins' documentary called Minneapolis Is Burning -which shines light on the facts and truths involving surgery and public deception for the purposes of political gain on the part of the democratic side of our Two Sides of the Same Coin political system in this country that everyone seems to be aware at this point in time is owned by corporations but can't seem to make the connection that the rise of more than one political party is a lie despite the obvious facts behind the proof. It was my own district attorney's words that raised suspicion when he as a black man himself told Minnesotans, particularly his fellow black citizens, that the National Guard has arrived but to not be afraid because they are the good guys, they're not the police, they're here to help. I'd met Keith Ellison and seen him in action on several occasions because the restaurant I'd been working in for over 10 years as a manager and server had office spaces upstairs and the Republican party had made them their headquarters, to the horror of the hypocritical Democrats that owned my company but also the owner of the building who was facing bankruptcy if he didn't fill those empty spaces soon. When these politicians first moved in they and their associates thought they could use our business as their personal meeting spaces despite having several dedicated rooms open to them in their own lease. They would gather 10-15, 20 and gaining and coming and going but no one would order anything more than a coffee or two but expected bottomless refills of water. It was Fascinating. It really was a great rare opportunity to get a private glimpse at both "parties" because they all had the same vibration of inherent evil. I stopped believing in God at age 4 due to severe abuse at the hands of our very religious foster parents and I have made it a point to keep my morals in check with my own hypocritical behaviors, but there was an energy and a look that was just beyond the typical depth that one would politely stare into a stranger's eyes where psychopathy could be detected, some Far more than others. Democratic candidate for DA, assistant DA Keith Ellison was one of THE creepiest. He just felt slimy, like you could Feel him either Extracting what he needed from you to forward him in his career agenda, or Reject you as a waste of time. All of this was done seamlessly with a charming smile and friendly demeanor as if rather than this self serving assessment going on nonstop in the background, he was just pleased as punch just to Be there. He was grotesque. But to see him on live television throwing his own people under the bus but not having obvious reason to feel this way I immediately started searching the National Guard online. What I found absolutely Shocked me but my instincts were spot on in being alerted to a massive red flag. Did you know that to qualify as an active Guardsman you have to first go through an entire year of overseas bloody combat in an Active war? These grownup Boy/Girlscouts that rush to natural disasters saving people and pets etc have purposely been given this narrative to disarm the American people to trust them inherently to come in droves driving tanks and using whatever other military gear deemed necessary for the situation without causing alarm. These are VOLUNTEERS!! Many are only active once a month etc and we can trust them because they are otherwise just like us. So why is it that nobody knows that since the Bush administration they have been turned into Actual military soldiers? Not only did our black DA, who really had no reason to be the one to announce this except for the fact that our mayor is a revolting passive aggressive wimpy little white man that Nobody wanted to hear from and our governor's greatest accomplishment to date is that he's not even From Minnesota and he WON, which is impossible in our tightly localized community. And he's also a fucking revolting typical corrupt white politician. So Keith is up there sending his people to the wolves and it turns out that they actually called them in the night before when it first broke out, but they waited until just before daylight and had them creep in to the federal reserve building with all lights turned off to avoid detection and had them park underground. They forced them to sleep on the marble floors and made them sit on their thumbs until just before Keith Ellison, the carefully selected official of the "right" skin color made their presence known as friends with "non-lethal" weaponry whose sole purpose was to help the people exercise their "Justified Right" to protest and they are here to make sure that citizens could do this safely and would be standing by ready to pounce at the first signs that anyone should show distress. Etc Etc I hope you will look up this footage knowing what you now know and take a look at Keith Ellison in this light. But it gets worse. What Keith Ellison Knew they'd done was potentially absolutely Lethal. They'd called to arms and forced to sit trapped inside a refrigerated building hundreds of military soldiers who were made fully aware of the damage taking place throughout the state (much of it instigated by planted rioters because after hours and hours no damage was being done. Livestreamers caught a lot of this and posted it online where it could be analyzed to understand what was Actually going on but of course they didn't tell the guardsman this.) I've been referring this heinous act as kicking the hornet's nest then throwing it into the streets where families and children live as well as among people who just wanted to be heard. They cut all power to the WiFi at 2:30 am that same night, when the terrifying act wouldn't affect the wealthier voters who would likely be in bed at that time. The first business to be set on fire belonged to a black man who was a retired firefighter and a celebrated member of the community whose bar was beloved by everyone. No one would start there. Business owners began camping out over night because ALL law enforcement services had stopped. All we had was a bullying military presence and the encouragement or literal planting of criminal destruction. There's footage of black men and women being torn off of their business property and taken to jail in unmarked white vans because they were 'violating the curfew '. They literally systemically demolished All of the parts of Lake Street and South Minneapolis that they had been trying to take away from brown Americans and immigrants since the 1970's. The Kmart had an iron clad lease that gave Them eminent domain over the city and the developers they were paid by, so they brought in the military to corral people all the way from Cup Foods where their narrative began and ended up with every single business that they wanted being "victimized by civil unrest". In order to rebuild the owners of the business had to not only pay for all the licenses and permits and insurance premiums but they also had to have half of the year's taxes paid Up Front to qualify for re-erecting their family's business. Please watch the documentary and then reread what I've written. I watched this video and so much of it BLEW ME AWAY, despite being raised by an adopted mother who put racism on the top of the list in educating my sisters and me.

We had these in Scotland. They're called schemes over here. They were generally used to provide ' decent' housing for people who lived in slum areas. Many schemes were fine - they were well built, had a sense of community and had facilities or were close to town centres. The problem seems to have come with large developments built in the sixties and seventies. These houses were often badly built, were really new towns or villages but had very few facilities and people were moved from city centres to suburbs or smaller towns miles away. I wouldn't say our schemes are as violent as what you're describing here but there is a gang culture amongst teens in some of them, and lots of poverty, unemployment and addiction. I think in the sixties and seventies ( and to some extent the fifties)architects had grand ideas but never thought about the reality of how these buildings would age, how much it would cost to maintain them or what facilities people needed. So they started as great places to live but sadly declined quickly. Then problem tenants moved in and drugs got a hold.

Homelessness was near zero when these projects existed, now its through the roof.

In NYC we still have 320 out of the original 322 projects built. Only 2 got torn down and both were replaced with mixed income and affordable housing. Those 2 were Markham gardens in Staten Island which were 2 story town house style projects and prospect plaza high rise towers in Brownsville Bklyn. Although we have some wild projects in Brooklyn the worst ones Ive been to were my sisters projects in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 (Caserio Montana - Aguadilla)

YOU CANT PAY ME TO KUVE IN ANY PROJECT UNDER ANY NAME, FOR ALL YOU "LOW INCOME" FAMILIES🤦🏽‍♀️ These place ARE BUIKT WITH CARCINOGENIC MATERIALS AND THEY KNOW THAT! WHICH IS WHY NOT 1 MIGRANT WILL BE HOUSED IN ANY OF THEM! ALSO; THAT LOW INCOME HOUSING ONLY IN BLACK COMMUNITIES ALSO CARCINOGENIC, WHICH IS WHY YOU WONT FIND ANY MIGRANTS OF ALL NATIONS LIVING THERE IN THE NAME OF "DIVERSITY" EITHER 😒 BECAUSE THIS ISNT DESIGNED FOR THEM.ITS BUILT TO KILL YOU; LITERALLY!!! Why do yall think ALL "PROJECTS" in America privately sold their buildings/institutions so they can pay those who live there out, or have them move out so they can DESTROY THE BUILDINGS and rebuild using NON CARCINOGENIC MATERIALS ✌🏿 PAY ATTENTION 1619 FAMILY I DONT CARE WHAT NATIIN YALL ENSLAVED IN! IF YOU ARE OF THAT PEOPLE IM TAKKING TO YOU!

Born and raised in E.St. Louis. Went to mlk jr high in 73 they used to attack our bus like wild animals because we were white.

Yall gotta realize these projects was made to hide the so call american Indians in plain sight. We are the ppl they taught us about in elementary that Christopher Columbus met when he got here. All them ppl didn't die from the trail of tears, diseases, and war like they told us. They stole our land, changed our status and stacked up on top of each other. Every single county of America have atleast one project. That's how you hide double digit million ppl in plain sight

The older design of them all look depressing like prisons

This shot look horrible i wouldn't dare ride through this ..😮

Cabrini Green has been torn down for over 30 years here in Chicago. I live in Chicago.

I remember when they said that white lady who move into building she was some type of mayor or governor or something like that. But she didn't last long living there. Green project home.

I live in a crazy apartment place it is bad. Outside in inside. Graffiti all over the windows. Just a hot mess. Homeless people everywhere and all other types of stuff smh. Lord forgive but my apartment building might as well be the project if u look at how it is kept no one cares smh. It is just bad smh. #DisneyDiva

Very eye opening and informative video. Its interesting to see how urban renewal created more problems than it solved. Its been my assertion that the purpose of government housing was to provide affordable public housing. The goal was for the residents to save money while preparing for their future. When jobs were lost and crime increased, business and services left the area , urban blight was created. Prior to these projects being built , blacks owned their own homes , businesses , hospitals, etc. Our High-schools graduation rate was phenomenal . Not only were we receiving a quality education, but our schools were the social hub of our community. As as result we were told that our schools did not provide a quality education, so our High-schools were closed and the high school dropout rate is...but our incarceration rate is .

@36:24 get cha lil gang banging ass on😂😂😂

You forgot Brownsville Bk Ny and Brooklyn Ny got the most dangerous projects and Queen bridge

Wast born & raised in state way, grow up in the Robert Taylor, days was cray but fun..

Fuck this street gangster bullshit. Taking a body to a bar for one last drink is the stuidest, and ghetto thing I've ever seen.

Scary ah video

The worst Housing authorities are 1.Chicago (Towers Demolished) 2. Newark( Towers Demolished ) 3. Baltimore ( Towers Demolished) 4. New Orleans( Gentrified/Demolished) 5. Philadelphia 6. St. Louis ( Towers Demolished) 7. Detroit( Towers Demolished) 8. Newport News 9. New York City 10. Los Angeles Chicago and Newark Projects were both equally as bad and they are the worst by a landslide and is the reason why they both got rid of their skyscrapers today. The rest of the cities have livability in their Housing.

E. St Louis IL 618 All Day

Man i miss the 90s joe...our projects were cities within the city....the Taylors had at one point 30,000 registered tenants not including the extra 2 or 3 ppl per household that wasn't on the lease....basically they had a bigger population than some suburbs lol 💯

Man this hits hard for me because my mother grew up in the Brewster projects

17:39 G baby thats you?

U could give each blk family their own mansion, buy them a car, give them access to good schools and give them a watch and most of them will still drop out of school, create gangs, drive without insurance or a license, be late for everything and end up arrested one way or anotger and the mansion will go to crap. A very small percentage will make it work.

Terrible documentary….. how you speak on public housing but leave Newark NJ out. Said to be the poster child of failed public housing in the 80’s when they started demolishing them. Also you can check out the Newark riots 1967….. they started in Hayse Homes. Do your homework.
