Pink houses were bad too when I was in bklyn, they used to split sides before fights based on what FLOOR they lived on (8th fighting 7th etc.). Sad..

middle income in Manhattan

No $30-40 is not low income .Here's the deal. When you see a new building rising in Manhattan check the newpapers for applications for that site. Or visit the rental office. MOST of the new building do have a few
apts set aside for low or middle income. the income varies from building to building. Its usually by lottary. Once your application is accepted it will remain on file until there's an opening.

The worst projects in NYC are probably Brownsville.

Soundview houses deserve a mention. It was probably the worst in the city when Pistol Pete and the SMM Bloods ran them back in the late 90's. It's calmed down but you wont catch many people around there, even today.

I guess the overall consensus is the Louis E. Pink Houses.

It's a little ironic that the worst projects are named Pink Houses.

I originally thought it was a joke when someone told me that they were the Pink Houses. One of my boyfriends friends lives there with his Dad. But man..when I went there it was BAD. Just in the few minutes I was actually able to observe. My bf made me stay inside the apartment once we got upstairs and him and his friend brought me back down when we left. No diddly daddling that's for sure.

pink houses are bad by but thats not the worst in nyc.
like morris, butler, edenwald, soundview, bronx river. all those are worse.
pink houses are dangerous because they cover a large area and they're isolated. but any project in brownsville beats louis h. pink.
