"They Called It Hell—Then Demolished It And Called It Progress" Cabrini-Green opened in 1942 as beautiful public housing for 15,000 Chicago families. The city stopped maintaining it, let it decay, then spent $2 billion demolishing it—promising residents could return. Most never did. Only 137 of 3,600 units remain. This is how America erased the poor to make room for the rich. 🔥 #CabriniGreen, #Chicago, #PublicHousing, #Gentrification, #BlackHistory, #UrbanRenewal, #Demolition, #HOPEVIGrant, #19

Inside Cabrini Green, the streets and prisons have become a battleground. Since January, 36 wounded, 10 lives lost—violence fueled by gangs like the Disciples, the largest yet most disorganized of the 60s re-emerging. Authorities say not all violence is gang-related, but the connection is clear. The fight for peace continues, but the danger remains real. Stay informed. Stay safe. #CabriniGreen #GangViolence #CommunityWatch | Al Profit
