I worked for Ryder Truck Rental as a mechanic back in the late 80’s and hod to go to the shop that was near Louisa street exit near the industrial canal bridge. Apparently there was a project near there that was horrible with crime. Some of the mechanics at that location told me quite a few stories about stolen vehicles including tractor trailer rigs that would end up at that project and the cops wouldn’t go in and help recover the stripped vehicles. Does anyone know the name of a project in that area?
Probably Desire. There was another one next to Desire that was just as bad.
Flooded during Katrina and have since been demolished.

Some photos of the larger ones:
When I lived in New Orleans I worked next door to the St. Thomas projects just off Jackson Ave. This was back in the 90s, and they were as bad or worse than any of the larger ones.

20th Century Democratic controlled plantations. Worse conditions and living conditions than white slave masters provided.

And Fisher in Algiers.
This is correct answer. A special place that led to a high profile young white nurse sent in to assist elderly care. She was brutally raped and murdered and had an Algiers hospital named after her, Jo Ellen Smith.
Another wonderful architectural feature with Fischer was the 13 story high rise with close proximity to the GNO Miss River bridge. Several snipers took advantage of the high ground with shooting practice on unsuspecting vehicles crossing the bridge in the 70s and 80s.
Fischer is one of NOLAs great public housing achievements by the Dem led administrations.

The structures are gone, but the government housing persists in new construction multi-family houses that look something like the Cottages in Baton Rouge (or whatever it's called now).
Just hose off the blood stains every morning and wait for the GOVT checks, and it’s just like normal.
Oh yeah and ignore the daily gunshot sounds and SWAT rolls.

Is that a flaw or feature of this communist paradise?

So there used to be a housing project in the garden district? Wow. What was magazine street like back then?

Desire was the big project and Florida was the smaller one. The were next door to one another. I guess they were built at different times, so they had different names.
Desire was bad. Florida was worse.
Desire was bad. Florida was worse.

The insides look like they live in the old ones. We frequent the magnolia and it’s the same residents as the old.

It was closer to Tchoup, but magazine, at the end, wasn’t what it is post Katrina.

Getting rid of the St Thomas was the catalyst that led to what Magazine Street is today.
