Cincinnati has entire neighborhoods that are public housing. English Woods and Winton Place both come to mind immediately. By far the most significant is Laurel Homes, the second largest Public Works Administration public housing project in the country in 1933. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 (unfortunately). It wiped out a good chunk of the West End, along with I-75.

(though the area around it is "coming back" with mixed-use income housing like below)

The west-central portion of the city is where I'd say 90% of the housing projects are including their own neighborhood identification (some are just massive):

For notorious-ness, English Woods is half empty, half still ghetto.

There are others like Fay, Winton, etc but the only other notable one that pop in my mind visually are the Stanley Rowe blocks in the West End. Basically, project towers surrounded by 1800's rowhouses/townhomes. A shame, really.
