Be, b-boys and girls, listen up You can be anything in the world, in God we trust An architect, doctor, maybe an actress But nothing comes easy, it takes much practice Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe Singing songs, Lena Horne, but the younger version Hung with the wrong person, got her strung on that heroin Cocaine, sniffing up drugs, all in her nose Could've died, so young, now looks ugly and old No fun 'cause when she reaches for hugs, people hold their breath 'Cause she smells of corrosion and death Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring 'Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing So if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how Put your hands in the air, and take the vow

If you look up 'largest social housing complex in the world' Queensbridge Houses do come up on top, yet I'm familiar with a public housing complex built in the 70's in my hometown in Argentina that has 7958 units and an estimated population of around 50,000, so far larger than Queensbridge. And that's just my hometown. I'm pretty sure there are even larger housing developments in Eastern Europe and Asia.

There's a housing complex near me, actually it's right across the street, in Beijing. It's 20 something buildings and has around 10,000 people. And that's not even considered a big complex.

Does that government share information on public housing developments tho
JayThaGrappla t1_iy8gl0q wrote
China, bro. The government doesn't share any information lol
I know this from talking to the real estate agents in the area as I was interested in living there. It's actually a nice community with nice apartments, but found something better nearby.
RetroMetroShow t1_iy8gu2v wrote
Did they happen to mention how they subsidize their housing?
JayThaGrappla t1_iy8h8g0 wrote
Oh this isn't government housing. It's all "owned" by people and mostly rented out to others. In China you don't buy land for life, you lease it for 30 years or so from the government. Developers buy it and build upon that land, people buy the apartments, people rent those out.

This post is about public housing though that is subsidized and maintained by the government. Public housing may seem like a generic term but at least in the US it has a fairly specific meaning.

Alt-Erlaa in Vienna has about 10,000 inhabitants. It is very popular subsidized housing,featuring rooftop and indoor swimming pools and club and hobby spaces, as well as all amenities (shops, schools, church etc) within the complex.

Maybe they don’t show up in online search since they are less than 2/3 public housing and more than 1/3 privatized

This made me think of the TV series "Good Times" from the 70s. It was a sitcom featuring a black impoverished family living in public housing in Chicago. While never stated in the show, it was implied that they lived in the Cabrini-Green Housing Project, in Chicago. From what I gather, there were 15,000 people living there in 3600 (600, 2000, 1000) apartments. Its mostly been demolished now, though.

How do you define largest? Pruitt-Igoe in St Louis was built to house over 10,000 people in about 2900 units.
I guess it is the largest current housing project.

Yes, but it was never fully occupied.
