As head of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, Carl R. Greene presided over a workplace of fear.
For women, his subordinates say, there could be ogling, groping, and pressure for sex.
For men and women alike, there were insults and humiliation.
"You're stupid. You're lazy. I can't believe your parents wasted college education on you," Greene yelled at one young aide, she recalled. "I can't believe you're so incompetent."
She left his sixth-floor office in tears, mascara streaming down her cheeks.
Greene called out after her, telling his assistant: "Fix her up. Get her some makeup. I don't want her to leave the office looking like that."
That was the world that Greene created within PHA. While menacing public housing towers were imploded across Philadelphia, careers were ruined inside PHA's headquarters on 23d Street in Center City.
"I've never worked somewhere where I've seen so many professionals crying," said one former PHA executive.
Greene, once hailed as one of the nation's top public housing directors, was suspended last week amid disclosures that PHA had agreed to pay at least $900,000 to settle four sexual-harassment complaints filed against him.
The agency's five board members are investigating whether Greene hid the payouts from them. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has ordered an immediate audit of PHA operations, and the U.S. Attorney's Office, working with the FBI and the HUD inspector general, has launched a criminal probe.

Ah, yes, the woman-friendly Democrats...but not in a good way.
They can always give up their jobs if they do not like it.
Another day, another low-life Democrat.
Carl R Greene
by — pending. Sorry
His house is also being foreclosed on. What a jerk!
When convicted, he should be sentanced to house arrrest, with ankle bracelet, in a ground floor apartment in one of his housing projects. Give him a broom and an EBT card.
Bill Cosby has tried to deal with what many wish to not talk about - the self-hatred, abuse, and dysfunction in black culture and families.
The sad thing is there shouldn’t even be a PHA! Thousands taking money from tax payers, while hundreds or thousands more take money to HELP the thousands taking money.
“They can always give up their jobs if they do not like it.”
Did you really just say that?
Will anything stick to Rendell?
Not in Philadelphia where the Stockhold syndrome runs deep
Stockholm Syndrome - Fat fingers today.
Billie! Billie Buckwheat Thomas! Is that you?
It looks like Carl R. Green is graduate of the Kwami Kilpatrick school of public service.
The Peter Principle demonstrated.
Another victim of the CIA run plot to oppress and destroy African-Americans!
He coulda been a pimp, but he didn’t have the personality for it....
I would suspect this guy is a Democrat as well
