Anyway, these big housing projects are hard to manage and the city looses alot of money doing so. But they are the best solution to house the poor. And it works in the city. I can't think of any other America city that it works that well.
It works for the poor but there is a direct relationship between low income public housing projects, crime and urban decay. Neighborhoods with these complexes will always have these issues. In other words, they are a failure. They took on the same problems as the slums before them. Modern slums.

I was talking about the areas tha are 'dangerous'. Now go back to work.
I see keeper deleted my posts. Fair enough, but hey keeper, can you delete the Photos posted by Hustla718 which has nothing to do with East Harlem, that is actually in Brownsville or who knows where. I dont think the person who started of this thread ask to see photos of housing projects. Be fair please.
Those Brownsville photos are around Rockaway Avenue. I've been through there, and it's one abandoned housing project. OK, one abandoned PJ in a hood is bad, but that is NOT East Harlem. Brownsville and East Harlem are like comparing Apples v. Oranges!
Thank's a lot for yours informations!!!
My English is not very good... I will try to explain better. In this travel I'm not going to be alone, but with my husband. We are going to stay here only little time and we are looking for a cheap hostel or hotel. I found a guest house in this area (the rate is very good), but I didn't know it... Now I think we will search in another place. Do you have some suggestions? Do you know a cheap, but cleaned hotel?
Thank's a lot!!!!!

Try the Pod Hotel. Great location 230 E 51st Street. Very simple, small place, but clean and great rates for NYC and got good reviews. You can go to Trip Advisor and see the reviews.
The thing is where you see my name and all the post that have been deleted, some of them are actually Hustla. I don't know why you only see my name. It looks like I posted alot.

There is also a hotel on 71st street between riverside drive and West End Avenue, super safe location on the Upper west Side, and my friends stay there before, but it cost about $100 a night (two years ago, now my friends crash at my place ). You do have to share bathrooms with other guests and all that. I think is called Riverside Hotel. I could be wrong though. Lots of Europeans like to stay there.
