Just to point out a few..

Aint Nas, Cormega & Marley Marl all from QB? I've heard about QB... never seen a pic of it before though. I'm surprised at the lack of graffitti in that pic. Obviously the POV is up real high but given that its NYC I thought the projects would be canvases from top to bottom... lol

but wow at the rows and rows of 20 story + projects... that looks like a city within itself.

Well, Upstate NY is different from Downstate NY. Just make sure you got that job lined up first though.

Taxes still can be no joke, but even when they are figured in, getting a home here can be cheaper than many Southern areas actually.

Yeah they are all from QB also Lamar Odom and Ron Artest are from there as well. Lol some pj's have had graffitti on them, but yeah that picture is taken from high up and I don't know why but you just don't see a lot of spray paint on the actual projects itself, usually vacant buildings. It almost is like a city within itself, in the middle of the neighborhood they have stores and stuff let me see if I can find a pic.

Let me try this again....I think you are asking me how to post streetviews so that they just pop up on streetview automatically. To do that, click on Link and then copy the first line that is usually highlighted in blue. Then, you just post it.

lol...

I've actually been to the Watts projects though... that **** is BAD. When I was there it was nothing but bloods who will kill you if you look at them funny. If you're over there and nobody recognizes you they'll kill you. The same probably goes for the others but I doubt they're like that... everybody in those projects thinks that the day that they don't have their gun on em will be the day they die.

It pretty much is like a city within itself, heres the center of QB Projects:

Google Maps

They have stores, a restaurant, and even an afterschool area for the kids.
