The Quality Initiative Consulting Company has compiled the Legacy City Citizen Survey. Mayor Patel was provided a preview meeting which the results were discussed.

    According to an article on pbs.org, “gentrification is a general term for the arrival of wealthier people in an existing urban district, a related increase in rents and property values, and changes in the district’s character and culture”. Some of the points of having gentrification take place is to reduce crime, make an area desirable to live in, and have economic activity increase. Although these are some positive ways to impact a neighborhood, some of the people that have been living in these neighborhoods for many years end up having to pay a high price, quiet literally. Old tenants end up having to move out as new tenants, who are seen as competition due to their higher paychecks, end up moving in and begin to change the neighborhood…

    419-421c The goal is to make the community as a whole happy, not any particular parts of it. The Republic Book IV questions “How would you answer socrates if he said, if a person were to say that you are making these people miserable, and that they are the cause of their own unhappiness?”. Adeimantus told Guardians that the value of the city and its interest must be good to the Guardians. Perhaps, the city doesn 't make the people, but does it dispossess them to many pleasing things? The resolution will be between what the people desire, what we think will make them happy, and what really makes people happy in reality.…

A compromising political system successfully upheld stability.…
