Ah ok, I knew they weren't all part of the same development specifically but figured they were set up the same. I used to live in the weird little neighborhood sandwiched between them, Liberties West I think it is/was called. Looking at geohistory that was actually housing projects before the Franklin/Marshall projects were, but at some point got developed back into private residential. The complex was a mixture of property managed and privately owned apartments and had like its own courtyards and off street parking, it was a weird little block.

My apartment there butted right up against Wallace St and I heard a few shootings in 2.5ish years, but a lot of the issues seemed mostly contained within the housing projects themselves.
