Ryan 's Housing Situation : A Very Safe, And Small Part Of Santa Clara

Adding to the inequalities and misfortunes within communities of color, gentrification has taken the Bay Area by a storm. Gentrification is the purchasing of deteriorated urban homes and areas, then the renovation by higher-end and middle class communities. An abundance of high-end people rush into the Bay Area and purchase up the real estate. Incoming middle and higher class take the Bay Area real estate and revitalise it into up-and-coming neighborhoods, then increase rent prices. Therefore, reducing affordable housing for communities of color. Therefore, this revitalization is changing the character of communities because the Bay Area may appear nicer, the communities of color are unable to afford the standard of living. Communities of

Given the information, this project seems promising for success assuming high occupancy levels. The Millegan Creek Apartments would be a 390 unit apartment project in Williamson County, for a proposed $15,715,000 loan. It would be about 11 miles northwest of the CBD and close to many of Austin’s high tech companies. This location would be beneficial because it can service many of the high tech companies’ employees and since the apartments are being built as a typical luxury apartment complex, it will be more appealing to these employees. JPI had begun to search for the ideal location for the Millegan Creek Apartments in 1993. They sought an area with employment

Case Study 14.1: David’s coming Out Process 1. What are the developmental challenges for sexual minority youth, as articulated in David’s story? David’s story points out the complicated lives that LGBTQ youth experience, youth who identify as transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer are more than twice as likely to attempt suicide, and studies show that that higher risk stems from their experiences of discrimination and victimization. David’s journey as a gay teen reveals the challenges some young people face just for being who they are.

Shortage of housing supply, especially in the coastal areas, is the critical issue that drives housing affordability crisis in California. California’s major coastal metros (such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego), where about two-thirds of Californian live, is lacking in sufficient housing to accommodate all the people who want to live there . For example, in 2015, there were 133,000 jobs created in the Bay Area while only 16,000 units of housing added there . In addition, the construction of new housings in California’s coastal metros, from 1980 to 2010, was low from both national and historical standpoints. During the past three decades, the number of housing units in the typical U.S. urban center grew by 54%, compared with 32%

After demolishing the Worker’s School with bricks and clubs, the raiders went to the Workers' School, and continued the same technique of smashing anything from typewriters to windows. A total of only four radicals escaped this raid by running upstairs and leaping from the windows. The raiders then targeted an alleged Communist headquarters on 1223 Fillmore st., where they struck three men. Following this event, they advanced to the Mission Workers' Neighborhood House on 741 Valencia st. In both of these scenarios, they obstructed the interiors of the buildings, only leaving behind a marred scenery for the public eye to see. After the raiders left the Mission Workers’ Neighborhood House on Valencia st., a crowd of bystanders, that consisted

Every day in the United States, a young person, under the age of eighteen faces homelessness, and most often it’s because of others. In a report by The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, it was noted that 26% of LGBTQ youth were kicked out of their homes when they came out (Ray, 2006). The Urban Justice League reports numbers as high as 78% of LGBTQ youth that “were removed from or left their foster care placements because they were un-welcoming or hostile towards their sexual orientation and/or gender identity ” (Feinstein, Greenblatt, Hass, Kohn, & Rana, 2001). The United States is an independent, individualistic country; we prize the freedom of expression, but do we really? One of the most significant, if not the most important, social structures is the family. Gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals who are aware of their sexuality, must create an alternative self to present to family and friends, especially if there is an understanding, verbalized or implicit, that homosexuality is not tolerated, or simply wrong. Many gay, lesbian and bisexual men and women would rather go with the flow, assimilate, not make waves, rather than to express their own gay identity, and risk ostracism.

One is graduating high school with honor roll, and obtaining his first job. As we got more into the conversation I asked him if coming to terms with being gay was an important event. He said yes, it was because he finally felt like he truly understood himself. Unfortunately, with positive moments there are also negative ones. Some serious losses, and traumas that Ryan went through was his grandfather passing away. Ryan remembers very little of his grandfather, but his death did play into a negative factor. Yet, was not the most serious loss that he went through. Senior year Ryan lost one of his dear friends in a plane accident. This took a strong toll on Ryan, and I could tell because of the way his eyes watered when he talked about her. He went to counseling that the school offered, and could not focus. They were in the same graduating class, and the graduation was the quietest Lincoln ever had, and he said the week that she passed away Lincoln was silent. As for the trauma he did not experience much beside hitting his head on the playground which caused a crack in his skull. Another traumatic moment for Ryan was that when he was younger his dad gave away his two dogs. Ryan had formed a strong bond with his dog, and was one of the only reasons he would go see his dad. Once he found out that his dad gave him away, he was crushed. Family dysfunctions are normal in life , and Ryan had a couple, but he felt like it was not much. He never had a good relationship with his dad because for the longest time Ryan knew that he was gay. He always thought boys were cute, and he liked things like Winx Club, Powerpuff, girls, pink, and glittery. The thought of Ryan being gay made his father upset, and resulted in him saying that if he wanted to act like a girl he would cut off his private parts. Ryan did not understand why his father would want to hurt him like that, and was

I thought that Dr. Thomas presented many great ideas when she discussed the findings from her research. One of my favorite ideas that she spoke about was housing such as Moore Place for the homeless. She said that her results were surprising because they actually saved money by putting the homeless in housing rather than leaving them on the street. This occurred because homeless people in housing did not have as much medical expenses which were commonly induced by living outside. It was much cheaper to just help people living in extreme poverty. Overall, I liked the message that Dr. Thomas shared with us. Her passion to help the homeless is very strong. I am glad I was able to see her presentation because it gives me motivation to help others.

Denver has distanced himself from Ryan because he is afraid Ryan’s lifestyle will “influence” him in some way. To Denver’s knowledge, none of his friends or classmates are homosexual and he is embarrassed by the thought of any of them discovering that his brother is homosexual. Now that Denver has been made aware of Ryan’s sexuality, he feels like he can see evidence of his sexual orientation with everything Ryan does, from his posture, manner of speaking, and food preferences. Denver no longer wants to be seen in public with Ryan because of new development. Denver has recently asked his parents if he can have his own room instead of sharing one with Ryan. Rather than talking to Denver, Ryan has accepted Denver’s unacceptance towards him. Ryan feels like it is justified because he expected the same behaviour from his

I look at myself as an optimist. I have worked with various levels of learner and I believe that all students have a chance to succeed and achieve, which, is made possible with just a little help, persistence and teaching. I also have strong leadership and collaboration skills. I credit these skills to me playing on multiple sports teams and for participating in a college sport. It has taught me persistence and how to work with others to reach a common goal. I am a leader from it because you have people that are relying on you to take charge, guide them and be accountable.

This can also be seen in Season 1 when Maxxies best friend Anwar refuses to tell his parents about Maxxies sexuality due to their religious beliefs. We see that Maxxie is torn between who he is and whom Anwar wants him to be and this puts the friendship under great strain resulting in Maxxie refusing to turn up to Anwars party. “Gay adolescents who are more conventional in their gender characteristics have the option of passing as straight and many do.” (Op. cit. p. 461) This situation happens a lot in real life but can be the cause of many problems, both for the person dealing with feelings of homosexuality and hiding them and those around that person. Many people have reported having feelings of being ‘trapped within themselves’ and having pent up aggression due to being in such a situation, which isn’t hard to believe when we think that adolescence is when we discover ourselves sexually. “Adolescence involves the development of a sense of self and social identity independent of one’s parents (Erikson, 1968; Steinberg 2004). Answering questions about one’s sexuality figure centrally in this
