Wait......I thought they had been torn these projects down?
They're still UP?
They're still UP?
Are you serious?
maybe thats whatthey could afford?
wow
Nah they tore down most of them years ago this was the last building
That bitch probably look like the Carter by now. 
in a way i feel so bad for the generations of families that grew up there
man there is so much history in laces like this
i know there are a lot of negative things that came out of there
but damn i would be heartbroken if i grew up there and i had to leave

Strangely enough that's not a ghetto mentality, sometimes you just want to go back home where you grew up and once they're torn down that place won't exist anymore, you essentially can't go "home" again!
I haven't been back to the Chi in about 2 years. I thought Cabrini was toast already. I grew up in Rockwell Gardens back in the 70's and they are gone as well as Henry Horner projects down the street.
The project mentality is alive and well whether the physical building exists or not. It's sad to see but this is just another sad piece of evidence on the continuation of the slave mindset still festering amidst squalid urine drenched poverty in the year 2010 in the richest country in the world.

Right,its like a city within a city.Everyone knows you or your family and for some its all they know.
They holding out for a better deal - maybe a semi-luxury HUD home in a better neighborhood outside of Chicago or something. Wrigleyville/Lakeview area? Heh.
yeah, i was just home in mid october.

LOL, the infamous Cabrini-Green housing project in the opening of "Good Times".
The Evans family lived in Apt.17C @ 963 N. Gilbert Avenue.
Ok. I miss the windy city. An uncle that just passed away last month, lived there for the last 50 years.
I remember the first time we went in the early to mid 80's. My dad is a man that likes to be amongst the people. He asked my uncle could we go in "there", pointing to these large buildings across the way. My uncle said, "We can go in, I just can't guarantee we can make it out". He was talking about Cabrini-Greene. That sh!t has stuck with me to this day. They grew up poor so I know that sh!t was worse.
You know what I just noticed, and the fam can clown if necessary, these motherfucking producers had the audacity to name a show with a black family living in arguably the worst housing projects on the north side of Chicago "Good Times"......
......really?
when the safety harnest pops up the ride is over
This is all I think of when they say Cabrini Green...
Made me think Techwood Homes in ATL back in the day was a cakewalk!

Fam you listened to the lyrics? I mean yea its fucked up considered you know the strugglea of,project living but for ninjas that never experienced that shit they will think shit is all gravy
just like jersey back in the days, they broke them shits down and put up town homes
Eat a dick.
they were holding that las bit of hope
This is why we need to get rid of public assistance.Mentality like that lasts generations.If we got rid of public assistance for the abled bodied,people would be forced to work instead of generations living at the will of the government.
they were holding that las bit of hope
no,they were living rent free

Listen to the lyrics to the theme song. It was a tongue in cheek comment on living in the projects.
The story posted by the OP was extremely vague.
Also...im sure none of you know the two families or their current situation.
The title of the thread including most of ignorant responses based off the vagueness that you all just read just shows how idiotic most of you are.
Yeah....
..continue on.
