Welcome to the NeighborHUD!
January 5th, 2009
The Projects Project is finally live. I apologize for it taking so long to come to fruition, but fruition is extremely expensive these days. I know what you're thinking: "Low-income housing units are so nice that they sell themselves! They need your website like a fish needs a bathing suit!"
Not everybody is as enlightened and clever as you though. The government has built these luxury projects with the upper middle-class in mind, but somehow the only people taking them up on this fantastic deal are low-income urbanites! I understand that not everybody can afford a nice three piece Dickies suit or a luxurious velveteen tie like yours truly, but frankly there must be someplace where the poor are meant to live, and low-income housing is not it!
That's why the HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) has enlisted me to make this site. We at the Projects Project will review housing projects around the country and provide you, our intended yuppie audience, with updates and editorials on low-income housing in America in order to show you how fantastic these properties truly are and why they're the ideal setting to raise your family.
So welcome to the NeighborHUD! Please stay seated in your antique IKEA chair, let your baby relax in its Skinner box for a little while longer, and enjoy a bottle of distilled municipal air while we explain to you why the projects are a much better place for your marriage to blossom and collapse and die than the harsh world of the suburbs.
