A further benefit, according to crime-prevention sites such as “Talk-theft” and “U.S. News” articles, these tight-knit communities can help to deter theft, largely because there is either someone always home very close by – or vastly assumed as such! Regardless, those who live in tight-knit communities tend to report odd “visitations” within the community. MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOUSING Today, one of the biggest trends in both home and community design is multi-generational housing, whereas several generations of a family live within the same planned neighborhood.

Lynnwood, Washington is not unlike many of the medium sized cities within the United States. With a population of roughly 36,000 people, the area has characteristics that correspond to both large and small cities. For one, the area is small enough to allow intimate relationships between those within the community. However, the city is large enough to allow for anonymity in regards to daily life, if an individual so chooses. Both these characteristics provide Lynnwood with a unique experience relative to its other Washington state counterparts. The streets, much like other small cities are very clean. The community being very intimate in regards to their relationships with one another have pride in the appearance of their city. This is very much unlike many large cities where individuals are so overwhelmed with daily life, that they often neglect the aesthetics appeal of their city. Instead they rely on third parties such as the state or local government to lead these initiatives. This does not occur at Lynnwood, which is very prideful about its cleanliness, appeal, and look. In addition, another small city benefit that is derived from the Lynnwood community is that of space and privacy. Typically, in very densely populated, large cities, homes tend to be clustered.

As gentrification of housing stress continues, Local Government Areas (LGA) will lose lower income groups and assimilate into a predominance of higher income groups, effectively homogenizing the population and decreasing diversity. This trend will drive the housing market price up, decrease housing affordability and deter outsiders into joining the community. The existing housing units will experience financial hardships, housing stress, and a gradual deprivation of a means to cope with increasing basic living costs. In order to combat this ongoing issue, speculative approaches by the City have been in consideration.¬¬¬¬

Gentrification is the process of buying and renovating houses and store the housing in urban neighborhoods, which results in increase property values and replacing the lower income and small businesses. Once gentrification happens, rental units are often change to a more luxury housing or condominiums that are available to be purchased. As real estate changes, land use is also altered. Before the gentrification happens, the area usually consist of low-income family housing and sometimes light industries. But after the gentrification, it shifts the housing in an urban community lifestyle, along with businesses, office, restaurants, retails, and other form of entertainment.

Throughout history we can see that housing has followed certain trends. These trends are most heavily influenced by the technology available to the public at that time. As can be seen throughout history, living conditions in general have improved, as there are more access to resources and building technologies. Although the world we live in has changed greatly, the basic type of shelter needed for everyday life and the resources needed to construct them has changed very little. This is why we can see a lot of parallels between the ways people live throughout history. However, the biggest change is in the way we construct buildings and especially housing. History has taught us that as time goes by, technology increases, making it easier for us to build structures. For example the Egyptians relied solely on Adobe (sun dried mud bricks) and slave labor for construction. Then came the development of hydraulic lime mortar, the Treadwell cranes (which is a wooden, human powered hoisting and lowering device) as well as the start of domes and arches, as structural components in architecture. Followed by the Middle Ages, which saw a huge emphasis on the construction of massive public buildings such as Cathedrals, Churches, Fortifications
