    Baltimore City Narrative

    I align myself with the youth of Baltimore City. Since enrolling in a Baltimore City Public School, I feel more connected to the rest of the city and the issues that affect young people daily. There is often times negative, and discriminatory image of us, which I admittedly used to have myself. During my young life, I thought those in public school were uniformly impoverished, aggressive, and, for lack of a better term, “ghetto.” I was insecure about my voice, my packed lunch, even my own safety when I entered high school.…

    All men are equal, but their circumstances are not. America bears an ugly history of racial segregation in cities, mostly due to the practice of redlining. Lending companies and banks withhold mortgages and other loans from people who live in neighborhoods of certain ethnic makeups. In a perfect world, arbitrary factors such as race would not affect someone’s ability to buy a home. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world.…

    According to the United States Census Bureau, society's demographics have changed vastly over the past four to five years. The population of the United States has increased by 4.1% since 2010 (census.gov, 2015). Stated by the 5th edition of Marketing Strategy textbook, experts predict that by 2050 there will be 124% increase of 65 year olds and over which means 7.6% increase of the population. This will lead to marketers focusing extensively on healthcare, recreation and retirement housing within the next few decades (O. Ferrell & Hartline, 2011). Housing units over the past years are steadily increasing by 1.02% with more singles and single-family households (census.gov, 2015).…

    For example, Lavone Twitty, a native resident of Washington, DC, has two daughters in D.C. public schools and has found herself unable to keep up with rising rents and describes her experiences as “being swept out of town on a tide of gentrification” (Molloy 2016). Another example involves Loretta Holloman, a resident of Northeast Washington, who is experiencing first-hand the displacement that comes with gentrification. She lives in Brookline Manor, a World War II-era development of 19 squat brick blockhouses with 535 no-frills apartments. A few miles north of the U.S. Capitol, the complex is occupied mainly by low-income tenants whose rents are government-subsidized. As the District’s growing affluence spreads in every direction, the tide of prosperity is moving toward Brookland Manor, and Brookland’s owner has decided that the complex will raze and rebuild to erect a modern, denser, more aesthetically attractive complex of 1,760 residences with an array of amenities, and far pricier rents for most tenants.…

    • 1807 Words

    Public Housing in the United States has by many been considered to be a major failure. It has generally failed to provide its residents with a safe environment to live, and outside of the buildings often plagued with violence, segregation, lack of upward mobility, the failure to maintain the buildings for its residents, and unemployment have led to failure in the public housing system. While changes are being made to improve public housing and root out problems such as racism, and corruption within the housing authority, overwhelmingly the history of what was supposed to be a revolutionary way of living for urban poor, has been a failure. Due to the decline of the city at the time public housing arose, racism, and the failure of the federal…
