I read that between 15 and 20% of the UK population lives in their version of housing projects called council buildings. They are supposed to be nicer and safer than American projects.

not only are they nicer and safer, they are often mixed amongst regular housing spread throughout cities and towns, and for an American it's hard to even realise which are and which aren't in many places.

After World War II, Britain tried out for-real socialism for a bit. That lasted for about 15 years, and most of the local housing councils etc date from that time.
