Projects

[Raeanne Dimick]

The real definition:[Public housing] or project homes is a form of housing [tenure] in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local. Although the common goal is to maintain affordable housing, the details of the arrangements differ between countries, and so does the terminology.
My definition for projects is the trap, a struggle, livin pay check to paycheck, tryin to make it out of there. Goverment owned so they can tell you to get out at anytime. Fighting to stay alive. Pretending to be [blinde] because if you see something you not suposed to all you can do is turn your head and not say shit. A lot of funerals, nobody cares, [hustlin] to make a living, and depressing.

sometimes rent goes by how much money you make, so if you have a really crap job, you can still afford to live there.
[because of this], drug-dealers, gangsters, [heathens] and [hoodrats] make it in, and thats why there is a bad connotation to the word projects

[Lanell]

A [low income] housing area. Usually involved with a large amount of crimes. Including drug dealers, gangsters, violence. Often on the local [polices] radar If you go in there and you dont belong, you will be harmed.
The TV show [The Wire] depicts projects in season one.

[Monty]

A place where crime is [in its] highest, drugs, whores, [pimps] and gangsters [thrive]. Hint: if you see two guys walking slowly or suspisiously its best to stay away from them otherwise they will ask you for a dollar and if you dont give them a dollar they would kill you or beat you up
