Frederick Douglass Houses^[1] is a public housing project^[2] roughly one quarter-mile southeast. Named in honor of escaped slave and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass^[3], it provides housing to low-income families and is operated by The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)^[4]. NYCHA is the largest public housing authority in North America, with over 400,000 residents in 328 developments. This was early on a winter weekend night, and it seems most everybody was home. I like how the variety of colors provides a kind of counter-argument to the common perception of housing projects as drab and uniform (a perception some extend to the people living there).
