Or maybe I am speaking from experience because my aunt and grandmother lived in the projects on 115th and 2nd ave from 1982 - 2020, where I was also born, and spend my life visiting and seeing crazy shit.

There are still projects and you still have to keep your head on a swivel around them. The issue wasn't w places getting better and safer, but who has been allowed to stay to experience that increased safety in their community. Obviously

Therein lies the contradiction though.

The neighborhoods got safer because certian people got pushed out (not all).

So it’s a double edged sword.

People living in these areas has never been the issue, the issue is clearly larger right and it's just easier to blame people who are trying to survive.
