Due to health issues I've had to rely on public housing, but I'm blessed that the apartments where I reside are very nice and were newly renovated about 3 yrs ago. They were actually practically rebuilt. Crime is pretty much non existent. Its quiet and I'm grateful because I know I could be in a much worse situation.
Many of these places need trees, bushes, flowers, playgrounds, outdoor exercise equipment, places to play ball etc. Make them nice for people to live in so they can focus their energy on getting an education or job. They can then move on up or pay a higher rent if they want to stay. Surroundings massively affect you even if you’re not aware of it, particularly when the government deliberately want to make the residents feel inferior. Very good and informative video👏
@Roy Harper. I don’t think you can generalize. I believe most people will make an effort to take care of a nice area - and why not have a place for children to burn off energy, it’s common and good sense to put proper playgrounds, basketball courts etc, when many families can’t afford to pay for kids having hobbies. On the other hand if you get an apartment in a place like the barrack ones in Chattanooga I understand why some might get frustrated over time. Those are honestly identical to the barracks in Auschwitz concentration camp.
@@jollymollyramram9702The projects in the United States had all of that! They had amenities. Even the ones that became notorious like RTH and CG. The PEOPLE living there destroyed them! Stereotyping may be lazy but facts do not lie! I am not viewing all of the poor the same. I am viewing people with certain attitudes and behaviors the same. Also, the same people ended up trashing the new and nicer apartments and even houses they moved to, after the cities got rid of the projects. I saw this with my own eyes too.

Habitat for Humanity is not owned by the government. It's a private program that was created by a non-profit. It's a good program for low-income working people or retired people who buy their own homes. HUD housing in Washington State is livable and some of the housing, especially in rural areas are well-maintained. The subsidized housing in Vermont consists of renovated buildings and houses. Unfortunately, one person told that drug dealers have become guests of some of the tenants in those buildings. I can't verify whether that is true or not. This was in Brattleboro, Vermont.
spot inspections would help stop people from living there not on the lease . im in alabama cops now have cameras and stop cars that keep going in and out of the aprts. its helped.stop crime
It's a racial problem even here in Italy. 99% of people who qualifies for public housing are immigrants, mostly from African or Arabic countries. Apartments in old public housing neighborhoods, where Italian lived when there was no immigration, have all been bought by the tenants themselves and renovated. While still some former Italians tenants, now owners, still lives there, now those neighborhoods are gentrified and the homes there sells for top money. Look, for example, through Google Translate, to neighborhoods like Garbatella or Pigneto in Rome.
Katie has finished her real estate course and can now sell houses! 😁👋 great new adventures as she finished her studies and can soon go on to sell homes In Florida.
That info about the Tampa, FL housing project being built on the graves of African Americans is unreal. I am pretty well-versed in the disgusting history of racism in America, but that made even my jaw drop.
look up rosemary cementary in Naples. there are black tombs under pine ridge road. 2000 blacks were hanged in downtown montgomery for seamly meaningless faults.
There are many videos on public housing in the capital of Austria, Vienna. Fully 75% of the Austrians living in Vienna live in public housing or in government subsidized apartments built and managed by government regulated non-profit companies. This is because the rents are kept reasonable and people earning up to $6,000 in monthly income for a two or more person household are eligible. That means there is a mix of middle class residents and the poor. Needless to say, the buildings are well-maintained, close to public transportation, and have amenities like nearby shopping and parks.
The projects have destroyed the black community because people get stuck. 1) should be a 3 year limit 2) Dont make it income based : this make people not want to work because now you have to pay to stay in a shitty place
It seems that most things that were created for a good reason almost always get manipulated into something bad. Once they let the inmates in. Theft, drugs, attacks and more always happen. And the good people that were there are afraid to go outside. And sure won't open their mouths against the people doing wrong for fear of repercussions. And then there's the Government, They want people dependent upon them. So they give them hardly enough to make it on, and those people learn to be happy with that.
I've been doing applications for the homeless, housing them through the various Housing Authority programs from H.U.D (projects and Section 8) within Los Angeles County over a decade and can say that you spoke on 2 inaccuracies: 1) Black males can't reside within their households and 2) recipients can't be employed through a legal job. I have SEVERAL families I've housed as a County Social Worker over the years where I can attest that this is false information!
I used to work for the Columbia (SC) Public Housing Authority In the neighborhoods we were in, OUR housing projects were some of the nicest housing in the neighborhood
The projects in atlanta have definitely disappeared from certain areas but other neighborhoods around the metro area still have privately owned apartments that look so rundown and are in terrible neighborhoods you might as well consider them public housing you will actually see more of them here then you will government housing
Home ownership is the best thing to have if u can afford to do it because relying on the government isn't always promising & they have those ridiculous rules since your getting the help for housing.
@@royharper2003 Nope, Like just wanting to find a reason to keep on coming into the apartment so they can look & snoop around for No Damn Reason invading your privacy.
@@francescamiller4340 maybe it is to make sure you're not trahishing the property. I've been renting due to my own bad choices for the lasdt 16 years and private owners don't do that.
@@royharper2003 That's what I'm talking about if anyone's able to rent from a private owner, or buy a house u won't have to worry about government housing & those kind of rules so that it's more freedom.
Hey this country was better off w/ Public Housing, because before many of them were born down, there were fewer homeless camps. If ppl thought the Projects were bad, crimes in our cities have skyrocketed w/ more ppl living on the streets. I like Section 8 better, but when u have to be on the Waiting List, Public Housing had quicker options. Keep in mind that there r also White projects.
The San Antonio housing projects pictured are actually not housing projects in San Antonio…I live in San Antonio and can’t identify them…I grew up here…
I am a disabled senior, and i was forced out of my housing after 12 years because of a greedy landlord sold the place after Covid, . I never missed one rent payment. i was forced into Section 8 housing and my life has been destroyed. Government housing sucks and so does Section 8. They make you poor and keep you poor. I will be living out of storage locker this week rather than put up with one more day of this misery, Government housing is horrible and it will kill you!
I never knew there were projects let alone a hood anywhere in the keys well I guess where ever there is rich people there is someone poor not to far behind to serve them
Is people getting out of the service Benefit What their families would have in housing Some of us It was like a mansion And I live there You had to be in the house before the street lights
I'm in Hawaii public housing in Honolulu not too bad at all real quiet and Hardy no crime our facilities are well maintained the building I live in is mostly Asian like key West we're living in public housing on a tropical island
In every public housing compund must have activities and entertainiment like shpping mall swimming pool and sports payground and security with the management of the leader nearby . Moreover, agriculture program must be number one! What the people eat in a dry wall and no entertainment! This is life with plenty action! Must have plenty idea planning to improve community
Honestly, other than da gangs n shit; Cabrini Green n Chicago used to have alotta families dat were just working class families tryin to get by; so honestly I think dat housing projects or ain’t a bad thing especially for Homeless people, it could really be helpful.
Please do your research before you put out information that's completely incorrect. The projects were developed as an immediate result to solve homelessness. After the great depression . They mainly wanted to help lower income white people get a leg up and there's that part of the population recover financially they were able to buy houses. At the same time Black people were not allowed to buy. Houses banks was not banks were not loaning black Americans mortgages so they were left with that as the only type of housing available to them in many major cities. So they were not developed for Black people.
As a grown ass person who doesn't want anything in life but a hand out. And then you get a whole bunch of them in one location. You're going to get a shit hole. I understand the trap that some women get into but that's a small portion
easy fix. take the trillions of dollars our government sends to other countries for they can have nice places to live and play and fix up are cites in the u.s.a. for we can have a nice place to live and play.
they wil just trash it, doesn't matter how nice it is when they move in. Give people free housing and they act they they deserve it instead of working and paying for a place of their own. They will have no respect for it and only expect more handouts. That is why they stopped builing housing projects.
The jealousy amongst neighbors. Ive expierienced that. TOok me by surprise because I dont really think like that. I dont care at all what neighbors do or got. NEighbors start being snitches when they get jealous and apartment complexes got some strict rules sometimes to get snitched on for too. Nosy neighbors get mad when I never let them know shyt or dont see me. One even called the cops on me to make sure Im ok. Literally had 2 officers knock on my door to check to see if im ok. I told em the nosy lady is the problem and I dont talk to her so shes wierd and mad and called the cops on me. Officers totally were on my side and realized yep, shes crazy. I dont even do anything illegal. I just was making too much money and the neighbors hated on me.
That's a very American view of the world. Every country has housing for the destitute, the unwell, and the self destructive. It's called putting the community before any one person's personal wealth and security. Govt is there to protect the general population from corporate and business predatory practices. Except in America. The US doesn't seem to understand why govts exist. The US government prioritises wealth over health and money over life. Instead of investing in the future, Americans seem to romanticise the past and would rather move backwards, spiralling further and further down the gurgler, and weaker and weaker on the world stage. America has been at war with itself for decades.

NOT GOVERMENT'S HOUSING🏚. IT'S TAXPAYERS HOUSING🏘 MONEY💰.

States put more money into policing their population than educating or supporting them.
