My first association is Cabrini-Green, a notorious housing project in Chicago that was fully demolished about five years ago. From wikipedia: "Over the years, crime, gang violence and neglect created deplorable living conditions for the residents, and 'Cabrini–Green' became synonymous with the problems associated with public housing in the United States." Now it's supposedly "mixed-income," with all kinds of gentrification and development planned or ongoing; it's probably also worth mentioning that it's surrounded by some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Chicago.

Based on the other names in the sibset, I'm guessing this family is not from the US, so the people this girl is interacting with on a daily basis probably don't have that association. I, however, live in Chicago and can't get past it.
