“I can see Cabrini-Green from my window, it’s six blocks. But it’s a cancer that can spread to all the other neighborhoods in our city.” 
~ Jane Byrne, Mayor

“People who were concerned about their children playing were up sixteen floors, while their children were sixteen floors away. All of a sudden, the children are making their own rules, without the connection of their mothers, fathers, their uncles, their grandparents…a sixteen story building pouring out children, and then the children deciding what they want to do, what was good, whether or not they wanted to fight, whether or not they wanted to steal.”
~ Tehray Phenom Hale, Resident

“The police always used to say they don’t go into Cabrini until the shooting stops. You hear a lot of residents say they feared for their lives.”
~ JR Fleming, Resident
