El Paso

Being the most populated city in Texas, it comes as no surprise that Houston is without question the most diverse. The various ethnic ‘districts’ that exist not only within the city but in its expansive suburbs are fascinating. You could find yourself driving through the typical, American metropolitan shopping strip one minute, and find yourself in the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the next! And sure, it’ll never substitute the real thing; but that was as close as I formally believed I’d ever get.

Imagine yourself moving to a different city. You have looked at all the cities you would most likely move to and you have finally picked out that El Paso, Texas and London, England are your two final choices. After narrowing down the options to two cities its important to look at similarities and differences. Although El Paso, Texas and London, England are similar in their cheap housing and exuberant job opportunities, they differ in their getaways, job opportunities, and housing.

The issue with the re-developing of New Orleans is an area that has been debated between governors, investors, urban planners, residents and other professionals since hurricane Katrina, the costliest “natural” disaster in 2005. This wonderful place, is a Louisiana city near the Gulf of Mexico. Its strategic position, becomes the exit of the great Mississippi-Missouri river system, which drains the interior North of America. New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

The author uses an anecdotal story of a metropolitan area called McAllen located in Hidalgo County, Texas. McAllen is an impoverished small town where residence earn $12,000 a year on average, yet has the highest health care costs in the country besides for the massive metropolitan area of Miami. Medicare spends $15,000 dollars a year per person in this area which is $3,000 more than the residences earn in a year. Spending on health care now consumes $1 dollar of every $6 an American earns. The strain of American’s health care system has hurt major companies trying to pay outrageous costs for their employee’s coverage which makes the US less open to foreign investment unlike other western countries. When comparing McAllen to El Paso which both

It's was the “heart of the Mexican diaspora,” claims Yolanda Chávez Leyva, chair of the University of Texas at El Paso history department (Azenett Cornejo). It was always considered a temporary location, the first stop until immigrants could make enough money to move elsewhere. However, times have always been tough and discrimination has always had a way of making people feel lost even in a place that should have been their home. Eventually a community began to flourish and Segundo Barrio became an extension of Mexico, a home away from home, or as my mother tells me a “community inside of a community,” which is most likely where the first part Segundo comes from. Home is what you make of it, and El Paso was home to many, but a community is what develops over time and is a connection made between people and place. My neighbor and friend, Margarita Martinez, would joke with me about how no matter where her brother goes in the U.S. whenever he wears a shirt from a local and long-established restaurant he always gets people that come up to him and talk with him as if they were old friends that were catching up with each other. They would talk about where they grew up and the connection they have with the city, “it's so weird how excited some people get about this place” says

In looking at the City of Dallas Affordable Housing Programs, the focus of this report will be in the form of a two-part series. The first part will be a program evaluation that examines the quantitative numbers or measurable objectives, goals, & achievements as established by the City of Dallas Community Development & Housing Department over a five-year consolidated plan period; and the second part will be a program analysis that seeks to take this quantified data of the program evaluation and really measure how effective these Dallas housing programs have been in not only achieving pre-determined objectives and goals but in changing low-income area housing buying trends; through creating more housing choices for low-to-moderate income families; in bringing about more mixed-income neighborhoods; improving infill affordable housing development opportunities; thru providing financial and training opportunities of minority businesses; etc.

This is important because it's good to have different cultures,, because it would be boring if all states had the same culture. Amarillo and albuquerque may not have the same traditions and way of life. The hours are different , amarillo is one hour ahead from albuquerque. The climate; albuquerque is cool climate and amarillo is close to dry warm forest temperature. There diffrent by hours, temperature , way of life , and cultures.

People all over the world long for new adventures. One way that people seek to find adventure is by traveling to other countries. One country that all tourists should visit is Mexico because of its food, art, and animals.

One comparable point between these two cities is lifestyle. In El Paso there is a chance to see people starting the day early to go run before performing tasks. There are a lot of gyms and people can go any time of the day when they are able. That is not the case in Cd. Juarez, where some people do get up very early, but to get ready to work. Also there are gyms or recreational centers, but not many. In Cd. Juarez, the streets in neighborhoods are very active. Most of the afternoons, parents, specially mothers or grandmothers get chairs and place them outside in front of their home to sit and talk with each other or the neighbors while watching the children who are playing soccer, riding bicycles, or interacting. Neighborhoods in El Paso usually are very calm; rarely neighbors

Brooklyn, NY – December 30, 2009 Foreclosures continue to rise drastically across the United States due to the recession, and have effected, and continue to affect thousands of families and individuals every day. One aspect we must take into consideration is that most people are not informed of what foreclosure means, or the process, even those who are homeowners. I believe that one step to preventing foreclosure is to educate first-time homebuyers. In addition, first-time homebuyer programs should not only assist potential buyers with financially preparing them to buy a home, but to keep the home once

The company will also target younger individuals who may have student loans and are not ready to purchase a house of their own while having other debt obligations. Due to the close proximity of the local college and the military installation the amount of potential tenants is greatly increased.

As a future economic developer and self-employed entrepreneur, I am writing a feasibility report to Credit Union One about information to potential members on how to make income and purchase property with no major losses. Providing this information to potential members will promote the core purpose of Credit Union One by potentially creating a lifetime source of income. I set-up guidelines on how to purchase property, employ low-cost contactors, and zone out the best locations to become a homeowner or make income from rent, foster care, and investment properties. Further on my report will show the problem Detroit’s real estate market is facing, how to unfold this situation, and comment the questions of my complex audience to ensure my proposal has sufficient evidence.
