Lol Harvey BEEN ratchet brehs(no offense @Milk N Cookies
)
Even before the projects were torn down. Same with maywood, chicago heights, robbins, parts of aurora etc.
I do remember when most of the south burbs still pretty decent in the 90s
But on the subject I remember when the former Mayor Daley first closed Cabrini Green & the westside folks slowly began to come to the south burbs(Dolton, Cal City, Hazel Crest, Tinley Park, Saulk Trail, South Holland, Homewood) and now look at it. Can't even tell what once stood there&'the people who will be living there wouldn't have dared stepped foot in that area 10-15 years ago.
If Candyman is real tho... I'd hate to be a yuppie chillin in a condo.Also Harvey was decent... Like in the 60s.

For real!
But they don't hear you though
I don't even know what some folks here are complaining about. C-B was a disaster, as we're ALL of the high rise projects throughout the city. They were beyond repair. Except for maybe a select few buildings that were renovated
I get it. Alot of black people never ventured out of their small impoverished towns and saw places where there was a mass of upwardly mobile blacks. At my alma mater (an hbcu) I'd say that 70% of the student body came from well to do households, children of lawyers, doctors, dentists, bankers, businessmen, engineers. And we got along great with none of that "element" being present
So no, I don't want to be around no crazy ass nikkas

Knockin it down only shook the bee hive & sent shyt into a confused state.. Even tho we had violent times, shyt was manageable & understandable... Project nikkas(Taylors) moved into my neighborhood & fukked it up. shyt was organized, everybody knew everybody... Them nikkas moved in straight chaos, a hood that was together is now divided into clicks operating in 2 - 3 block..Shootin at each other all within a 10 block radius...
They should've rehab them buildings and let them stay... They loved them projects anyway 
Honestly, community purchasing of property is necessary to stave off gentrification, or for it to go to the advantage of the people who would generally be pushed out.
A bit of gentrification is going on in Cleveland near the Cleveland Clinic, and the neighborhood surrounding is almost totally Black, but not everyone who owns the surrounding property is Black. If the area and the businesses could be Black owned, gentrification would not be an issue.
Cabrini Greens was not likely to be Black owned, because it was projects and apartment complexes. If they could buy up some of the West and South Side neighborhoods that are still near Chicago's epicenter, before the value starts shooting up, everything would improve.

Yeah we use to live on the east side and a whole bunch of folks from the projects (no pun intended) started moving there in the early 00's like crazy.
I think the city could've renovated them if really really wanted to but decided not to for a slew of reasons. Edit: but, quiet as kept a lot of them did loved the projects lowkey
I actually had a homeboy from greens. Dude would talk bout how he use to miss it sometimes

Yeah most of the og hood Nikkas from Chicago heights came from the south not the city don't get me wrong a lot of city folks did come to the heights but if you ask the ogs around 60 to 70 they are from Alabama,Georgia and Mississippi that's why most of us from the heights talk Country as hellLol Harvey BEEN ratchet brehs
