The Case Of Buffalo For Real

With its many natural assets, as well as a strategic position on the US border, the Niagara Region was one of the first parts of Ontario to be settled. The Welland Canal was built in 1830s to allow ships to travel between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie; water power and later hydro electricity were made possible by the many waterfalls. Many industries were established in the area. Based on 2001 Canada Census, the region had a population of 410,574. With an area of 1852 square km., the region has a population density of over 220 people per square km. This high density offers the region same challenges in maintaining a healthy environment

In the context of this paper, it is important to understand the significance of place designation in Hip Hop culture. Dr. Murray Foreman, a professor of media studies at Northeastern University captured this when he stated, “…youth use rap in the deployment of discourses of urban space and more proximate scales of urban locality, or place (Foreman).” Dr. Foreman’s assertion reveals two things. First, urban youth engaging with rap is significant because many black males see Hip Hop as an opportunity to escape and reverse their ill-fated futures as the urban untouchables. Rappers like Shawn “Jay Z” Carter describes this when he raps,

This essay aims to examine the role of the mayor in regards to the politics of local government in Ontario. The process of the development of public policy has shifted considerably during the last few decades. Due to the advent of globalization and of social media, public sector decision making has expanded to include more stakeholders than ever before. As a result, mayors have come under significant pressures to engage not only political actors in decision making, but also communities and individuals as well, which changes the way that they operate in their public role. This indicates that the idea of municipal governance may also be changing within the minds of citizens. This essay will draw on a case study based on the city of Mississauga and its needs from the mayor and city council. This essay strives to provide insight into the process of developing a strong mayoral strategy using the example of the city of Mississauga, looking at its current and future plans for development. The thesis of this essay is that the role of the mayor is to act as a local and global ambassador for the

The story of Richmond’s West End is a story that is often not told as part of Richmond’s narrative at all. Richmond, who has traditionally been described as a city with struggling public schools, high poverty and high unemployment, isn’t the picture you think of when you hear West End. For my entire life, I’ve lived in Henrico County, studying Richmond from the outside and not understanding all of its problems but also never attributing the West End to be “suffering” from any of the problems above. The West End never seems to fit the traditional narrative of Richmond but little did I know the West End had its own story full of ups and downs to tell itself.

New York City’s history of affordable housing policy and development is one of success and has been modeled and replicated around the country. But, no good deed goes unpunished and those successes have an equally long history of unintended, or ill-intended, consequences. Previous administrations built towards lofty numbers with a singular focus that had harsh consequences for everyday citizens forced out of their own communities. Last year, land prices in East New York tripled on the announcement of impending up-zoning.

Being in the military there is so many places I call home or my area as I have moved arounds so much over so long. I looked into my hometown of Niagara Falls, NY, which is known as the Honeymoon capital of the world. But what I find is that even though the Niagara Falls may be inviting to some the truth is no one should live there, drink the water or even breathe in the Air.

The city of Compton, CA has long been associated with negativity. The 1980s and 1990s gave Compton its reputation as being a gang-infested, high-crime city, promulgated by film and music. While violent crime and property crime rates have plummeted in the past decade, the reputation stands. The 2000s and The Great Recession, brought about new problems to further tarnish Compton’s reputation. This paper will identify and detail three current fiscal issues that have prevented the emergence of a successful middle and upper classes, the improvement of city-wide infrastructure and programs and issues explaining recent scandals involving city funds.

Every NHL season brings a new batch of talent who could become potential household names. Who do you think will come out on top this year? These are some of our bets for the prospects who are likely to make their clubs out of training camp and log big minutes for their teams.

At the local level in a community, there are leverage point areas for change. In community building, leverage points are places in a complex system where one small change produces big changes in everything (Meadows 1). In the Louisville-Metro and Metro-adjacent areas, a present leverage point that needs change is low-income housing. There are a large amount of citizens who do live in low-income apartments or houses, but there needs to be more homeowners in this area. Low-income housing is a leverage point because a small shift in the amount of residents living in low-income houses actually improves the city. In this case, the bigger the change that leverage points produce is best. The point of low-income housing can actually be explained through

The City of St. Charles is at crossroads road in its development cycle. After years of steady suburban “greenfield” development, construction activity has decreased as St. Charles reaches its ultimate build-out potential. In the last 15 years there has been a substantial increase of competing commercial development outside of the City’s corporate limits; particularly, on the Randall Road Corridor. Over the same time period there has been a lack of residential development in St. Charles and surrounding communities. This combination of increased competition, static residential development, changing retail dynamics (online shopping), and the economic downturn during the “Great Recession” has affected the trade area’s vacancy rates and demand

When people heard about the West, they tried to go to that place and found that there had enormous buffalo population. Then, they wanted to dominate the West, and threw the Indians out of there. The white people put tax on water and air which no one did that before. That led to the conflict with the people who came and bought land to make their farm. The news of buffalo was more and more spread out to the East. As the result, a lot of people from the East took a train to go there just to kill buffalo for meat, and the settlers also bring abundant tools to kill buffalo. At that moment, the gun company thought that they could get money if they made a buffalo gun, and they made it. The more white people came to the West, the more buffalo were

I’m Kirk and my friends Henry and Clarence and me, are going on a quest to find a buffalo. You’re probably like, seriously, that’s easy. But this isn’t just a regular buffalo, this is a white buffalo very rare, and we want to find a herd of them. At least that is what Henry said. I asked if we could shoot one but Henry said that’s illegal. But who cares.

How and why then did a plan with such socioeconomic promise fail? It is the aim of this research paper to examine, inform and discover how and why a failure of this nature occurred and the ramifications that followed. Callowhills decline was the result of deindustrialization in Philadelphia and a failed urban renewal effort, but the neighborhood is making a comeback as a residential hotspot.

However, this gave way to an entrepreneurial approach that primarily focused on local development and employment growth in the following decades. This is mirrored across the capitalist world, but is perhaps most evident in the United States where the reduction in the flow of federal redistributions and local tax revenues after 1972 led to this revival in civic boosterism and entrepreneurialism (Harvey, 1989). It certainly has far reaching consequences in that future growth prospects may all be about “playing the capitalist game”, the paving to a zero-sum development. To that, Harvey asserted that urban entrepreneurialism (1) is based on public-private partnership so that local boosterism attracts external sources of funding, direct investments, and employment sources, (2) is speculative in general and thus compounded with risks and difficulties that are absorbed by the local public sector, and (3) places emphasis on political economy rather than economic projects that improve living and working conditions. The extension is a prime example of this because it was intended to bring business and entertainment to the Hudson Yards neighborhood, and it did- many businesses in the area have seen increased profits since the project’s construction leading to a development boom in its vicinity. However, it faced its own risks and difficulties from the start, seeing that it was supposed to be funded by an innovative “tax incremental financing” that issued city bonds for the construction to be repaid by future tax revenue from developers (Jaffe,
