PUBLIC HOUSING (PROJECTS) IN AMERICA
Public housing, or as they are generally known in the hood/barrio, the projects, are a surreal place to live as adults and live and grow up as children in a country as wealthy as that of the United States of America. People of color, typically African Americans, are warehoused in these government subsidized dwellings. There is a certain unspoken but felt stigma associated with the standard of living and life-style experienced in the confines of these urban compounds (ghettos). This work is personal having lived the experience. It is intended primarily for state and federal politicians, educators, and researchers.
On the one hand, a person could say that these places to live are better than nothing or being totally homeless in the streets. On the other hand, how would social scientists evaluate the goodness of such shelters for humanity, and how would they determine that the benefits out-weigh the detriments? Also, how well are people socialized there eventually integrated into a primary single-dwelling society that serves as the standard for appropriate American life-styles? Do the projects create a cultural problem that America needs to address? Let's explore the issue initially and partially through the fictitious life featured in the below essay of Stanley Myers living in any urban city USA:
