"Projects" is the key word here. I'm talking about the commenced building of those high rise towers in major cities--mostly filled with single parent welfare recipients--that to my knowledge were a 70's phenomena. Cabrini–Green was composed of 10 sections built over a 20-year period: the Frances Cabrini Rowhouses (586 units in 1942), Cabrini Extension North and Cabrini Extension South (1,925 units in 1957), and the William Green Homes (1,096 units in 1962) (see Chronology below). en.wikipedia.org Housing projects by public housing authorities were not built in the 1970s. By the 1970s, it was already becoming clear we had a problem. What you are terming "projects" was initially for working class white folks and didn't have the negative connotations associated with them that the later high rises did (i.e. crime and poverty and single parents .) They didn't have the same negative connotations because they weren't occupied by blacks.
