    Where ever you have gotten your information from, you were misinformed ,your information is way off, Tasker homes were built for military families initially not low income families, not too mention the Lex street massacre happened in a house(not a project house) and did not happen as you described it, you really need to go back and research again (better this time) thumbs down for the false information.

    Yes, I grew up in No Philly near Richard Allen, had to walk through 10th and Berks projects, played basketball at 33rd and Diamond and had to walk through the Valley, where the Raymond Rosen projects were. Mid 70s Philly was bad, but the gang wars had died down alot by the 80s. Crack took over then and it was a war zone/zombie land.

      Gentrification is only temporary as the Left wing hipsters love the "city life" but run for the burbs when they are struck with the fact their kids will eventually have to attend the city public school system. Kensington is just a few blocks East of Temple and it's the largest open air heroin now fentenyl market in the Country. Meanwhile Mayfair-tacony is becoming the New Kenso. It is worse then ever. Gentrification is a myth especially in Philadelphia

Bloomberg projects shootouts ain’t no different than any other projects in the USA. Ramon Rosen was really bad in the 80’s and 90’s but no different than any other PJ in the USA. Again Philly don’t have gangs. Tasker homes was one of the worse in the city. This dude is angry with Philly. Richard Allen was terrible but a fun place to hang at.

From that place came Drs, Teachers, Professors, Actors, Comedians, Singers top ranking military personnel and more.Growing up there yes we've seen some things, but we played outside, built snow ladies, played in the mail and laundry rooms. Went to Charles Memorial Baptist church.Shoped on Marshall street and St. Luke's was our go to hospital. M.C. Wister was our School. 8th street was our pool and playground.

    The sad part is some things were bought on by ourselves. We didn't have a lot but we helped each other. We were a community then. Mrs. Smith watched and whooped us when our parents weren't around. We shared food, kept the places clean. Sometimes I wonder if we would of kept up with that, would PHA done more to keep the places safe and clean. Just a thought. The rate of fatherlessness led to more poverty, babies having more babies and being allowed to stay on welfare for so long as an option didn't help. It hindered us, made us lazy. The more kids you had, the more money you received. The system failed us and we failed ourselves.

    Very surprised that Queen Lame Projects did not make the list. The neighborhood is much safer. The Germantown Courier (local paper) reported more crime that did not make local news. When I was 5 there were alot of stabbings in the 70's. The shootings happened in the 80's and 90's. I had family that lived near Richard Allen Projects but I felt more safe in the day time than walking around Queen Lane Projects during the day time. I remember always seeing the chaulk marks of the dead bodies at the QLP. I was very afraid as a child because of all the killings. What made matters worse was that these killings were not getting local attention in the news like the attention that Raymond Rosen Homes and Richard Allen Projects were receiving in the news.

Outside of the tower, the basketball court was not a place to hang (day or night). Pulaski was a different street back then. It's COMPLETELY different now.

Been to LA and all that shit. Everybody in Philly that know me from the hood to the schools I went to know me for being a Piru. And I can tell you for sure there are probably about 150 total Bloods (if you combine all the different sets) operating within the city. We still from Philly so we have the same accents and dress alike. But there are definitely Bloods in the city. Again, the majority of Philly don't gang bang so it is not going to make any mainstream media news in the city.

      Not sure how old you are but the gangs that dominated Philly were late 50's, 60's & 70's and they were definitely larger than 15 - 20 members. The gangs ended in the mid 70's. All of the urban projects had gangs attached to them and in some cases multiple gangs. Gangs in Philly were identified by the corner you were from, i.e., Raymond Rosen Projects (The Valley), Richard Allen Projects (12th & Poplar), Blumberg Projects (Demarcco's gang & 24th & Redner street gang). The gangs littered the entire city fighting and killing one another until the Black mafia and the drug game took over the streets in the early-mid 70's. If you go into the Daily new archives, you can see all the articles written about the gang activity, way before there were Bloods and Crips, which surfaced in the late 70s-80s.
