Government housing projects had a bad outcome in the US... "The Projects".
- newfonewhodis 4y agoYour statement isn't wrong but can be misconstrued to imply that government housing led to bad outcomes. I very strongly suggest reading through citations of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidized_housing_in_the_United_States#Social_issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidized_housing_in_the_Unit.... tl;dr: "The Projects" were primarily concentrated outside of major economic centers, were left out of public transportation (and other) infrastructure projects. Mix in the government sanctioned racism and segregation of economic groups, "The Projects" in the US were doomed before they even started.
