2.0 The Projects
Welcome to the Projects - large social housing estates built during and after the great depression to cope with increasing homelessness all across Banlieue. They are affectionately called "Crack Stacks" by most Banlieue natives, which might be some kind of black humor since these buildings are home to about 300.000 people...
No wonder Banlieue licensed more liquor stores between 1970 and 2009 than the whole state of Oregon.
The pictures I'm going to show you were mainly taken in the port area of the city, but there are quite a few spots where they can be found.
Next We have an office center quite close to where the previous panorama was shot. It's one of those soulless parts of town that gets most of its attention at night when desperate men come to the many strip clubs in this area...
And last but not least we have a project which I'm currently developing on another coastline
Hope you enjoyed the mosaics...it took me quite a while to make them. And' I'd be grateful if you could tell me whether I should keep the texts or not.

First off, I'm glad this CJ got such a positive reception..so thanks for that.
@Jeh7497: Thanks, the region is actually larger than what I showed so there is more to come. And thanks a lot for the first comment! 
@Keep-Up: Thanks! I have never been to Cleveland as I'm from Germany, but I have briefly visited DC and originally had something in mind like the DC metro area with sprawling suburbs and some public transport, but then I figured that it might be interesting to build some really ghetto style cities..The DC area has however greatly influenced Banlieue's public transport which I might show in the following update.
@TekindusT: I actually looked at your most current CJ and really liked it. Especially the use of the LA River which I have too, but I haven't found a use for it yet. Anyways, thanks a lot for your time and the kind words!
@Dethsrow: Well, I hope you like this update then! Thanks!
