Larry Hoover who started GD' s was indicted in 1996, Gustavo Colon of Latin Kings was indicted not long after. This spread gangs into rival gang territories, whichnincreased the violence. Also they continue to indite gang leaders. So now instead of a structured gang, it's basically like just groups of friends running the gangs. Unstructured, unorganized, and no one to check members if they do something really stupid
WRONG!!!! Your neighborhood geography is way off. Cabrini Green was located in Old Town or the Near North Side (depending on how you define neighborhoods) around Division Street. Everyone who lives in Chicago knows that Cabrini Green wasn't located anywhere near Lincoln Park.

Old Town/ Near North Side is a really nice area, minus a couple streets that have much smaller public housing, which can be a little dicey. The area where the old Cabrini Green was has brand new mixed income condos and is right across from a new Taget and shopping center.

Lincoln Park is obviously a nice area but has never been associated with Cabrini Green.

Cabrini had towers north of Division. Lincoln Park starts at North Ave. So LP was less than half a mile from Cabrini.

I believe some of the low rise buildings are still there just east of orleans and north of chicago. but they are quickly clearing those out as well. there were very few residents over there the last time I was out there.

Cabrini Green was only a couple blocks from the southwest corner of Lincoln Park, and that corner of Lincoln Park absolutely suffered from its closeness to the projects. The Clybourn corridor from Division to about Southport was a dump, it was nothing like the sanitized chain-store "suburbia imported into the north side" strip mall that it is today.

That's what I was referring to. But yes, my geography was slightly off. All of the other information that I stated was correct though

walking down the rowhouses today, if you're not a resident and don't have (legal) business there, you can be ticketed for tresspassing. I know more than one person who has been.

Some bangers and their enablers moved to the Marshall Field Garden Apartments just south of the Sedgwick Brown line. Careful around there at night.

Lathrop homes in Lincoln Park far nw side of lp. Google this projects and what is going on.

Cabrini green is a travesty for blacks forced to live there then kick them out but nothing better for them while things keep getting better for urban whites.

How about opening a dicks, and sone movie theatres on the south side.

It's a never ending battle. A new movie theater won't open because few people on the south side will pay to enter. But because there isn't a new movie theater, people with money won't move there.

Were they prowling around behind the fenced off area? A person could get into trouble messing around beyond the fenced off area and it would make sense to ticket them. On the other hand, a few of the rows seem to be open and I believe some people are still living there. There's a decent amount of foot traffic all around the perimeter of the row homes on any given day.
