    Robert Taylor housing is the development shown during the credits of Good Times. If it's supposed to be set in another development, also in Chicago ..., well ..., that would be silly.

    It isn't Cabrini Green.

    There's a third development - or was, but I can't think of the name of it - either way, I'm certain the show was set at Robert Taylor housing.

    Really? I'd have to question that - as imdb went up so long after the show ended.

    They may just be going by the fact that Cabrini Green had the reputation for being the most crime-ridden and with the harshest living conditions.

    Wiki-pedia also says the show was implied to be set in Cabrini Green. It also says the projects shown in the opening credits is Cabrini-Green. But, if you ask anyone from Chicago, they say it's Robert Taylor.

    and, after a quick google search, imdb and wiki are the only sites that mention any name for the projects; most just say chicago's south side.
