I would treat downtown Newport News like downtown Baghdad. Busting in doors, confiscating illegal weapons, pulling criminals out of their houses at 3AM and carting them off to jail.

As far as I know, Norfolk doesn't have any more projects. Projects are government owned housing for low-income tenants. There is no rent and there is only a supervisor as opposed to a landlord.
