The citizens of Anderson, Indiana know that the town has its ups and downs. From the outside looking in Anderson appears to be a safe and peaceful place to live. However , Anderson has a major problem with crime that needs to be immediately addressed.

In Baltimore, the abandoned houses allowed investors to buy the houses and turn them into luxury condominiums and houses. In turn, this encourages other companies to continue to develop condominiums and houses and abandon the development of low-income housing. This cycle is called gentrification, but it is disguised as restoration to the city

Maple Ridge is a thriving and growing city that is part of the Greater Metro Vancouver Area. This friendly and welcoming community offers a wide selection of transit options that links Maple Ridge to the rest of the Lower Mainland. Here is a comprehensive list of the transit and transportation options in Maple Ridge.

Housing and Zoning Crowded, lots of brick and cement; few parks, cars parked very closely together on street. Some areas show severe urban blight.

The deserted domain is basically lost in the wind. It inhabits no form of leisure activities or culinary establishments. The cars rides resemble wooden amusement rides with its back-breaking crumbled roads. The school are god awful and the children endorse a more barbaric approach, barely being in attendance are their academies. The city is empty, and cold; the streetlights only signal a blinking yellow. One would expect a hay ball to tumble across the roads and the sounds of a lonely coyote howl. South Jacksonians are extremely loyal, however. Its unlike anything before. The south does not have much to offer and the residents seem very defensive about it. Even if there is no one threatening them initially, a South Jackson citizen is quick to defend their homes in everyday conversations. Most identify the southern sector as the backbone of

Growing up in East Austin, one would be accustomed to seeing rundown neighborhoods inhabited mostly by African American and Hispanic working-class families. In the past few years though, the view has drastically changed. Now brightly colored two-story homes housing affluent Caucasian families occupy the once dilapidated areas. The previously desolated lots are now the future sites of lofts and condominiums. The recent changes in East Austin are a clear sign of gentrification. Gentrification is the extremely evident process of displacement. Revitalizing a derelict neighborhood favors the entire community, not just the ones with money. However, revitalization and gentrification

Eagle Village is located in Hersey, Michigan. The organizations has many different benefits and departments from six residential houses, adoption/foster care, community camps, and training opportunities. I work in the Ashmun house with 11 adolescents who have who have been victims of abuse and neglect. The residents in the house age range between thirteen and sixteen, and the residents come from all over the state of Michigan. As a resident is moved into Ashmun house, they are expected to successfully complete the program.

A major influence on health in a community is the availability of services and opportunities within the neighborhood. Public health can be further influenced by the social environments. Accessibility to health care along with education and employment opportunities are fundamental factors to be considered (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2015). These elements create both advantages and disadvantages for those living within the neighborhood. If we want to improve public health outcomes, we must consider and evaluate these along with many other contributing factors.

The Fort Wayne’s downtown area has many historic buildings that are listed and protected in the national register. There are a mix of old historic homes to fifty plus year old homes along with new construction of apartment buildings. Therefore, there is a mix of old and new. There are many churches in the area from many religions from Catholic to Baptist to Seven Day Adventist as well as Muslim Mosque. A few of the Catholic and Lutheran churches date back to the early 1900’s. Heading southeast many of the homes are not well maintained with some being condemned and boarded up. Yards and many homes are in need of maintenance and litter or trash can be seen throughout neighborhoods. Stores that once were occupied are now empty and falling

It takes a lot to rip apart a town. It takes a lot to ravage a community, particularly one as tightly-knit as Ridgway, Pennsylvania. Nestled snugly at the southeastern edge of Allegheny National Forest, Ridgway’s population has dipped to just below four thousand in recent years, though in its 191 years of settlement, it’s never once been called home by more than roughly six thousand people at once. Its proximity to the forest attracts huntsmen and hikers alike, but unless one were actively looking for the town—the square mileage of which comes in at just over two and a half miles, total—it would be remarkably easy for Ridgway to not make a blip on someone’s radar at all. It’s small, out of the way, and most of all, quiet—a recipe for insignificance.

CLINTON TWP. — In a densely wooded and overgrown area, with temperatures in the upper 80s, a three-man crew battled pesky flies, buzzing mosquitoes, crawling spiders, marching ants, strong odors and trash mounds as they cleaned a property in the 8200 block of Newkirk Road Thursday.

Low income housing areas, especially public ones, across the country are in very bad shape and are a hotbed of crime because of their design. In Knoxville, Tennessee, where I am a Patrol Lieutenant, half of the public housing was built after World War II for returning soldiers and is in very bad shape. The designed was closed in and packed as many residents in as possible, which attracts crime and prevents emergency personnel from entering in an efficient manner. Some have been torn down because of poor conditions, but many still remain. The Knoxville Community Development Corporation would like to replace all of the older design developments, but money is the issue as in many other cities.

“Building family, building business, building future[O1] .” This is the New Salem town motto. Three senior nursing students assessed the rural community and have determined the motto is fitting. New Salem is only 20 miles from the larger, urban city of Bismarck, but that does not mean that New Salem has nothing to offer. New Salem has a grocery store, a school, several churches, and recreational activities available. New Salem also has several different attractions including a statue of world’s largest Holstein cow also known as “Salem Sue.” Diving deeper into New Salem, students explored the civic core, subsystems, perceptions, and priority needs of the community.

Last year brought 100,000 new feet onto Colorado soil. Not far behind those feet, rolled an army of hungry bulldozers and cranes. Even in the suburbs, old walls crumbled to make way for sparkling new housing. People want to be here. Perhaps the only bearable part of living in Denver’s suburbs for me has been the gritty old farm houses tucked behind groves of mangled cottonwood trees. Haven’t you ever seen an old, abandoned building and wondered what it could tell you? This curiosity is the basis of urban exploration, or urbexing.
