“Well, that’s a first. Most harts let me inside them because I have an accent.” As I start to reply with a diss, Noah talks over me with, “You’ll discover real soon that Lotty isn’t like most girls. She’s…” He trails off, eyes on me. My ears perk up and my heart pauses its job, waiting for the complete sentence. I’m what? I’m what? Say it, goddammit! But he doesn’t, flicking his eyes from me. Qwesie has…

large-scale property development. This shift created a new, but also exclusionary way to live within the city (Shaw, 2006). Like Sydney, many other countries across the globe were experiencing a similar shift in thinking. In New York, the recent real-estate boom has lead to a shift in the housing price and living costs in the area with rising rents, and small locally owned stores being replaced by pricey designer labels (Zurich et al. 2009). This change in ownership of both the homes and…

The issue I would like to address is the need for additional funding for federal housing programs and projects. Affordable housing continues to be a major barrier for low-income individuals. The availability of affordable continues to decrease, as does funds dedicated to affordable housing programs such as public housing and housing choice vouchers (HCV). It is dire that more funding be allocated to updating and increasing affordable housing programs, so that our most vulnerable populations…

My wife and I just bought our first home, a small goat farm with a residence located just outside of a college in North Central Florida. For my MCDM assignment, I am going construct a MCDM model drawing from the pros and cons list my wife and I compiled while trying to decide which home to buy.

Watching a neighbor’s house being burned down in the middle of the night is something you never forget. Then to soon realize the man burning the house down was your neighbor, the owner of the house. Burning Montag’s house because he broke the law is unacceptable and completely immoral. It was terrible seeing a new friend of mine’s house burn to the ground because of something he was curious about. No one can ever think or be curious about anything anymore without suffering dire consequences. I…

For my walking survey, I decided to use my grandmother’s neighborhood. She resides in a home built in 1953 and has lived there for over 30 years. I am familiar with this neighborhood and I felt very comfortable with the area. The neighborhood has a strong community feel, most of the residents have lived there for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood does not have any new houses or buildings. The houses have remained the same. The only one abandoned house in the neighborhood and this due…
