Most people just don't have the ability to separate what the current environment is from a what the current environment was, say, 50 or 100 years ago. The old "the world only started when I gained self-awareness" p.o.v. Face it, we're all freekin' spoiled beyond the dreams of ancient kings or whatever. Just one look at those photos you posted (...and, hmmm, mighty curious as to who is in those photos, ain't it?) shows that, well, todays slums ain't nothing compared to what many of our ancestors came from.You lived like that, best believe a brand new "tower" filled with spanking clean rooms and modern conveniences and good bathrooms is gonna look like paradise. Even today, there's no excuse AT ALL for folks `effin' up where they live just because it's a "project". To my admittedly limited experience it sure seems like the condition of a neighborhood is totally dependent on the behavior of the residents. Go check out the Taylor-Wythe Houses in Williamsburg, then walk down Lee Avenue to the Marcy Houses for proof. That's why remnants of past urban infrastructures are so damn good to have around. Un-alterable proof of what was "normal" in different times. |
