Growing up in the projects lowkey is goat

[invalid]

But I feel what Op is saying, you knew everyone. we had common bb/courts and a giant field and all the kids knew fkd w/each other. every summer was crazy

You literally said nothing that doesn’t happen every place else.

go and visit the pjs in a hellhole like west palm beach or liberty city if u wanna grow up suicidal and miserable

The only advantage I can see is making you mentally stronger but you can also get that as a kid if you play sports so

fukk growin up on the projects

Also depends on perspective, for a kid who was born poor in Africa the
Projects is royalty

nikkas really need to stop thinking growing up in poverty is a good thing.

Growing up in poverty is a great motivator to improve yourself.

Look at them privileged CACs with their parents money who turn drug addicts and kill themselves. They aint got nothing better to do because theyre already financially stable and party all day.

it's funny how people will claim that black people have associated poverty with blackness

yet all people here are doing is expanding that it's beyond said poverty

They tore my child hood projects down and replaced them with housing plus I'm grown now and can look back on where I came from. Some of y'all nighas a bit in here lowkey.

My thoughts exactly. First time traveling to a third world country, seeing family's living in shanty's, happy to just have a roof over their heads changed my perspective of "poverty" in America.

Growing up in the village in Africa is GOAT

moved to the suburbs in middle school and was full of wannabe snob cacs and asians. only thing there was passive aggressiveness and nosey neighbors

There's a lot of projection just off someone reminiscing.

If those are the reasons you love the projects, then you would really love the country
