While I am glad that they are coming down, what were their positives, if any? They once housed thousands of residents, but now these communities are dispersed across the city and metro area. It would be interesting to at least preserve their memory with a memorial of some sort; perhaps a museum or pictorial history on Chicago's public housing? At the same time, Cabrini Green has done much to wreck the image of public housing worldwide. It's notoriety will outlive the structures themselves.
