Governor Greg R. Smith Houses is a low income public-housing project located across the streets of President Avenue, Presidents City, Algonquin, Liberty City on both sides of the road in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Description[]
The complex consists of four 19-story apartments with each building being inaccessible to the player. The site also has a basketball court located in its surrounding park.
The residents of the projects are mostly Americans with a Latino or African descent.
The apartments are never referenced in the storyline, nor are they included in any mission. The only known resident is Marcy, a random character in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
The complex's name is quite similar to the Governor Greg Johnson Projects, which is another housing project located in Northwood.
Influence[]
The projects are based on the Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia Houses projects in Lower East Side, Manhattan.
Crime and Gangs[]
The Governor Greg R. Smith Houses seem to have a relatively low crime rate, as when the player goes to the buildings, they might see only the occasional crackhead, or hobos sleeping in the park or around the buildings. But it is otherwise unknown what the crime rate in these projects may be, as they serve no role in the storyline.
