	Cabrini-Green - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Chicago Housing Authority, the early residents of the Cabrini rowhouses were predominantly of Italian ancestry, although by 1962 the majority of those living in the completed Cabrini-Green complex were African-American.
		Later phases of public housing development (such as the Green Homes, the newest of the Cabrini-Green buildings) were built on notoriously stingy budgets, with attendant problems with construction quality and durability.
		On the exterior, boarded-up windows, burned-out areas on the façade, and pavement instead of green space--all in the name of economizing on maintenance--created a depressing atmosphere of neglect and decay.
