Well done Robert Taylor only #20, that place would give you nightmares as a child. I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago in the 70's and 80's that place was always in the news, along with Cabrini-Green.
In Atlanta Techwood Homes, Eastlake Meadows, and Perry Homes was a war zone. Techwood homes was the most dangerous housing project in America. The violent crime rate was 37x the national average. Cabrini Green and Techwood should of been tied and #1.
Them Miami boys terrorized techwood .and tookover they're block and shut they're traps down...spilled a lot of blood and kidnapped a drug dealer from techwood and killed him...them atl boys were scared of them Miami boys until they got fed up and ran them off....true story...
IT'S DOCUMENTED CHICAGO HAD THE WORSE HOUSING PROJECTS IN AMERICA GANGS DRUGS TOOK OVER THE BUILDINGS BECAME FORTRESSES FOR THE GANGS AND THE MAINTENANCE WORKERS WOULDN'T GO TO THE BUILDINGS AND ALL THE MAINTENANCE ISSUES DETERIORATED AWAY MAKING LIVING CONDITIONS HORRIBLE
@@empirebbk Yes music and dancing . All the motown music was going strong and I truly love soul music . Music was def one of the happiest things going on way back then .Thank you for asking 😃
Robert Taylor was the worst because of the population: 97% on welfare, single mothers, literally the poorest area in the US. But it was such a scourge on the children that lived there. So dangerous and depressing.
You’re probably right, but you have to remember that Cabrini pjs crime stayed within the developments. The other pjs’ crimes spread beyond the developments.
Bra you don't know nothing bout Eastlake meadows or techwood home's and perry home's in Atlanta was the worst of the worst they must didn't no bout perry home's btw techwood home's was the first pjs built in the usa atlanta was pj's capital of the world atlanta had over 40 something pj's it's started in Atlanta
Untrue regarding the Towers- there was no upper income requirement in the beginning. We moved there in March 67. It was called the Eichler Towers then. Eichler went bankrupt and HUD turned it into Section 8 and it became the Geneva Towers. We were one of the few families who paid market price for the Ghetto. Crime ridden and poorly maintained, the residents lived with roaches and some had rats too. The residents would destroy the elevators and the 20 storey buildings smelled of urine and decay. It was such a beautiful place when we moved in but within 2 years it really degraded ❤
Although Puerto Rico isn’t a state it’s still United States territory and some projects in San Juan Ponce Bayamon and Rio Piedras are extremely dangerous. Lloren Torres projects are the largest ones in the Caribbean.
@@empirebbk I’m very sad to say no. The Pink Houses are part of the East NY section of Brooklyn. The area surrounding of the projects is not good. The East NY section has eleven houses projects which they have beef with each other. You also have the tenements and private houses that are horrible in that section. If you do get a chance to do some research on the East NY section of Brooklyn. I also agree with these developments on your list: Prospect Plaza (#8) Queensbridge (#22) Marcy (#29) Honorable mentions could be: Red Hook Houses (BK) Soundview Houses (Bx) Edgemere Houses (Qns)
Father panick village in Bridgeport was the worse everrrrrrrrrrrt, cops didn’t go in there at all, they robbed the cable man and left him on the telephone pole
Mar Vista Gardens in West L.A. didn't make the cut. But when I was growing up a couple of blocks from it in the 1970s and early 1980s, it was crazy. Helicopters every weekend, gunshots, a couple times I even heard a Tommy gun going off in there.
Tx is top 3 biggest states..HOW they don't have atleast one on the list..Dallas TX had one of the 1st projects in America..This video is Good but not great
Dallas had some notorious projects in south Dallas called Bon Ton housing projects.Those projects were were spread out mile and half wide and a mile long.They tore them down due to violence,drug dealing, and poverty about 10 to 12 years ago.
Texas is in the top 3 currently, but it wasn't even in the top 5 when all those projects were built. New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, & Michigan were bigger. On top of that, Houston & Dallas weren't that big either, and are not traditional big cities, so it's common for places like that to not make the cut.
@@MoneyC225 what? Houston has always been #4 largest city. Just folks didn’t know bout it. What I mean been or just live here. Before recently, only folks they could tell some things bout htown certain parts of Louisiana. Well a lot of folks from Louisiana and Texas are related. Most others can’t speak on no hoods, culture , or anything.
@@dominicwilliams6300 Houston has only been the 4th largest for 35 years. Houston, like many cities out west & in Florida, came up after WW2. Learn your history.

I’m from Brooklyn. It’s some worst then Marcy
I believe you the Brownvilles and Flatbush neighborhoods are pretty bad I heard.
Nah, Pink Houses are the worst in Brooklyn.
@@ES-wv2uiat one time Seth low in Brownsville was worst than pink houses … bushwick projects too during the 90s was wild.
Good list and accurate.
When start fixing these places up the tenant's should be trained on how to keep the property up an😢not allow their children destroy the property
They've demolished a lot of them
I grew up in Columbia point . It gave me 20 yrs of nightmares when we finally got out . Felt like prison and terrifying as a child .

None of those projects are worse than Cabrini & Robert Taylor! Trust me!!

The projects in Miami ain't no joke
these projects were crazy. ands thats exactly wtf they were...projects. that failed.
I had family lived in the Pink Houses (#15). It’s still considered the worst projects in Brooklyn.
Do you think it will ever get better?

Could work in constructions rather then sell drugs

A shame they hunt each other at record numbers year after year. Other demographics have poverty, but don't destroy the buildings they live in.
