Compare And Contrast Phoenix And Ellensburg

For those only weakly committed to city living, particularly middle-class people who have serious difficulty with social diversity and who have clear housing alternatives, the "problem-free" suburbs become tempting. After an incident such as a car break-in or a bicycle theft, a "last straw" can make them leave. (249)

The Pacific Northwest has an amazing landscape throughout several states. I’m from the great state of Washington, and my hometown of Ellensburg, Washington has a lot to offer. Ellensburg is located in Kittitas county near the Yakima river, and Wilson Creek. Ellensburg has a lot to offer, from the First National Bank of Ellensburg and the Ellensburg Hook & Ladder Company being built in 1883 (City of Ellensburg, nd). There is the beautiful Central Washington University that was founded in 1889 (City of Ellensburg, nd). There are a lot of sports in Ellensburg, from the youth leagues to the collegiate leagues. In the town of Ellensburg people love to fish, swim, hunt, and rodeo. Those activities are sort of a tradition

When I arrived in Dallas, I was legitimately surprised to see that people in Texas were normal. They were not all wearing cowboy hats and boots with pistols tucked into their belts. I was ten years old, and I had just become accustomed to life in Missouri, right after leaving to Texas. Previously, I had moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Missouri when my dad’s job relocated us. Then, my dad quit his job and decided to pursue his dreams of owning a cattle ranch because his job had asked he relocate us to White Plains, New York. While his worst nightmare was being forced to live in a crowded, bustling urban municipality, mine included simply moving again.Visions of tumbleweed and desert haunted me the days following his announcement. This

How much of a difference is there in the daily life of a midwesterner compared to an east coast resident? How does one’s life differ in the same country, but across a distance of over 1,551 miles? These factors are what makes one area or another a highly sought after place to live. Comparing my time living in North Kingston, Rhode Island to my time living in Garretson, South Dakota will show that both are great places, but the atmosphere and daily life of Rhode Island really set the two places apart, making it a better place to live.

There is a city nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains (“About the…”). With a population of approximately 100,000 and approximately forty-three square miles, this city incorporates the feel of both a small and big town (“Quickfacts…”; “Roanoke, VA”). Today the city is known as “Roanoke, Virginia” and sometimes called the “Star City of the South” or the “Magic City of Virginia” (“Roanoke Star”; Bruce 132). However, if you look back through its history, you will see that this city of Roanoke did not always exist. During the late nineteenth century, railroads caused the growth of a small town into the flourishing urban city we now call Roanoke (“Roanoke,

Phoenix is an amazing place to hike year-round if you are prepared. The Sonoran Desert has a charm of its own that can only be experienced out on the trail.

The second city also selected for this report is located just south of Los Angeles California, the City of Compton founded on May 11, 1888 was the eighth city to be incorporated. A brief history on Compton and its population is that according to the U.S Census Bureau in 2010, the total population size was at 96,455 residents. This number of residents is lower than what was expected to see in California. After further investigation in the website, after five-year span in 2015, the population of Compton raised to 97,955 residents. Although the smaller population growth isn’t what it seems to be like in Arvada Colorado. But in 2016 in Compton California the total population size decreased to 97,550 residents. A decrease in 400 residents within the one year span. Both cities roughly over 1,000 miles apart do share some similarities and differences between them.

Kansas City born and raised in rural Indiana, I did not live and grow up in the same house as most kids around here do. I’ve moved twice in my lifetime and couldn’t be more grateful that we did. My family has made southern Indiana our home now for the last 15 years. I’ve played multiple sports here and with each sport I made more and more friends. When I go back to the city I was born in, I think about how different my life would’ve been if my parents hadn’t decided to move. I would have never gotten the chance to wake up and be surrounded by corn fields every day. I would never have been able to ride fourwheelers in my backyard, mow grass on a riding-mower, or even have a garden. There is privacy here, whereas neighbors in the city can see

Growing up in small-town Pflugerville, I never imagined what life would be like outside of a "country" area - until I moved to Killeen, Texas. Killeen is a town full of hot-headed, military, city-slickers that clog up the highway like ants. Often, I think of times when I was younger - looking up at the clear, blue, open skies; the smell of fresh-cut grass always awakened my senses. Now, I look up and I see wires, buildings, cars, and smog. They always say "There is no place like home," and in this case, there are no two places that differ more than my hometown and the town I live in now. The speed of life, the buildings, and most of all, the crime rates are all very new to me. The world is like bowl of fruit, sometimes the taste of each point on a map can differ as greatly as apples and oranges.

America, in the early colonial years, was mostly country. Multitudes of people lived on farms, and few towns existed. As time has passed, America has innovated, and now millions of prodigious cities overpower the dwindling areas of the country. Because of the numerous towns, rarely any Americans have experienced the modest country life. Some individuals believe that the city is superior to the nation only by considering the conveniences that the city possesses. However, nearly all Americans have yet to realize the specialness of this country. It is an improved place to live in the city because it is peaceful, self sufficient, and beautiful.

California is a state with a lifestyle and identity all its own. One factor contributing to California’s unique singularity is the lay out of its cities and suburban areas. Unlike many metropolitan areas, which built up, California spread out, creating a commuter culture of loosely connected communities surrounding larger cities and urban areas. The popularization of suburban neighborhoods gained prominence and momentum in the 1950s, following World War II,and the influx of veterans returning home and starting families. That decade’s economic growth, attributed to government spending on the construction of interstate highways and schools, the distribution of veterans’ benefits and the increase in military spending, left Californians with high wages and low unemployment and inflation (The 1950s). These circumstances, combined with the ingenuity of new developers regarding the layout, construction and affordability of economically built homes, spear headed the creation of suburban communities in California. With thousands of new homes being built and purchased and hundreds of people
