@Shantel Scott so you have to come from the projects to be successful? That mentality creates low standards and doesn’t hold parents accountable for making the types of poor decisions that put their family there in the first place.

@@willpower3317 I agree that sometimes people get it confused between making it because of something vs making it despite something. I feel the same way the OP does since I don't live in New Orleans anymore. That being said, I think people make poor decisions or have bad things happen in life that keep them there, but that's not usually what got them there in the first place. A lot of the people who lived through the worst times had parents or grandparents that have been living in those areas (not just public housing) since way before it got bad. I don't think it's very common for people who didn't grow up in rough areas to move there as adults even when they do make bad decisions. They usually have family to fall back on in the relatively safe area they grew up in. People in the bad areas are usually from there. Many don't even know what normal is. Edit: Needed to clean up some sentences.

They have built up many capitalist apartment buildings recently. It's fairly gentrified now. No idea why anyone would be investing in this backwards democrat-run city. They are probably losing money hand over fist with Covid-19.

@iwouldliketoorderanumber1b79 3 жыл бұрын

They didn’t want them in that community, they wanted to transform the neighborhood and make money off the land by building new development. They gave them vouchers to find an apartment somewhere else in the city, relocating to a different public housing unit and the funny one you can work your way back to the new development. Where these buildings were located really was prime real estate they wanted to capitalize on.

@RETROGEMS Жыл бұрын

They call that *gentrification*. The honest & innocent tenants of the old Cabrini Green deserved a quality place to live in. Instead, from what I've learned, many if not most were dispersed & their neighborhood 'rehabilated' for a bunch of upper middle-class Chicagoans. For all the hell the *good* folks of the projects went through, that seems beyond unfair that others are now benefiting & thriving in their old neighborhood.

Why are they acting like there is no choice but to live in public housing? Or depend on the government to pay for their food and homes? There are hundreds of thousands of poor and working class immigrants from Mexico and Puerto Rico and Costa Rica and Honduras living in Chicago without government support. These people are being interviewed as if this group should be living on government support as a way of life. There are millions of black people who are living middle class lives. And there are black millionaires and billionaires. In Chicago. How are they doing it and not these people?

If you don't provide services and training to assist people in moving out of temporary housing, they won't go. Without public assistance, they are stuck in this kind of lifestyle no matter where they live. The residents knew living in projects would not be temporary. Several generations have lived in nothing but public housing. . I don't know why the government didn't know it.
