I have long had this thought...

What genius in the 1930s woke up one morning and said,

"I have a good idea. Let's have the city build all our residential housing."
 
Robert Moses/NYCHA were the largest and best known, but they were not alone.

In St Louis was the Pruitt-Igoe Project- the architect's next design project was the World Trade Center in New York. In Chicago was the Robert Taylor Homes and Cabrini- Green Project (among others). Mercifully, they have all been torn down.

In the mid-1950's, Chicago built a firehouse on W. Division St, across the street from Cabrini- Green. It housed several companies over the years, but ended up with Engine 4 and Truck 10. CFD had to switch the firehouse windows to Lexan to help with sniper fire damage. Across the street was a grocery store. The firemen quickly learned to don full turn-out gear to go shopping. Airmail was a constant. The engineer on the last due engine on the box to Cabrini-Green told me that at night he would hide in the cab when the rest of the company went into the building. When a member got jammed up, he would find a sudden transfer to the "bad boy" house- Engine 4 or Truck 10. Of course, the Local Two President worked there.

Pruitt-Igoe: the troubled high-rise that came to define urban America – a history of cities in 50 buildings, day 21

From its fanfare opening in 1954 to its live-TV demolition three decades later, the St Louis public housing project remains a powerful symbol of the social, racial and architectural tensions that dogged America’s cities in the mid-20th century

Same thing down here for E.1/L.5. They had a hi rise project behind the firehouse and for fun the locals would shoot at the kitchen windows. The project was eventually torn down.
