The destruction of the projects only means replacement but the reconstruction of minds means moving forward. The tenants settling throughout the metro area with a dysfunctional mindset and culture will only make the city worse.
Post-war migration from the South seeking employment and a better life for their families in the big cities. What they found instead were Sociologists, Politicians, and Urban Planners who, within one generation, decimated their in-tact families and replaced them with vice and slums and the hopelessness of the welfare state.
What a craphole. I remember going into the neighborhood at night for storm work clearing damaged power lines. I used to stand and guard the truck with a chainsaw. People were brazen enough to try to get into truck boxes right in front of me.
@@vanessaboyd3798 Partially true, but if you consider the large concentration of shootings from 91" to 1998 all of it came from the West side mostly Murphy Sometimes Johnston and Collington Square. So once the towers went down Laffeytte, Murphy and The Terrace by the time we get to the 2000's it had shifted from west to park heights and then fractured.
That’s my great grandmother at 2:45🥹 Mary Francis Holmes, the great-grandmother of Murphy Holmes. She was the Tenant Council President who advocated the most for the Housing Authority to step in and do something about the decrepit buildings and drugs.
I was there! I was turning 9 or just turned 9 yrs old(Jul '99). My father brought his big camcorder to record the whole thing & it was hot af. Edit: okay I saw Jul 3, 1999 so I was 8 going on 9 lmao
My father took me and my sister there I was 13. Matter fact we were right on lee st where the guy who tried to climb up under the bridge to get a better view to film the demolition fell down who later died.

Won't never forget that HOT sunny morning being out there on The Ave. It was like a big ol' block party outside.
Which turned into low rise projects 🤔🌺🦋

I remember this day I was on the bridge watching what a day to remember
A beautiful day

Chainsaw 😂😂😂 ayo
it's like season 3 of the wire lolol
it didn't do much but spread the crime throughout the city where at one point it was simply concentrated.
You got a point.
No! it added because it was all over the city in the first place 🤨🦋🌺
