User:T-doter/Chalkfarm Housing Projects

Built in 1972 Chalkfarm housing projects located off of Jane Street, north of Wilson ave. in North York, Chalkfarm Drive is a residential street consisting of middle class homes situated on it as well. These buildings are mainly occupied by new immigrants from the Caribbean, South Asia and various African nations. The street is near two elementary schools and Chalkfarm Park, which runs along the banks of Black Creek. Chalkfarm Drive is the home base for a gang calling itself the Chalktown Bloods, one of about 25 gangs that police consider a serious criminal threat. This Toronto based gang originates from the Downsview, Ontario, Canada. They are sworn enemies of the Falstaff Crips gang, whose turf is off of Jane Street south of Wilson Avenue, just a couple blocks away. The Chalktown Bloods are believed to be heavily involved in the street level distribution of narcotics and extortion. Its members range in age and are considered armed and violent.
