Bowring Vs Cy-Leung
Philip Bowring harangues his views on the coming policy address, trying to exhort CY to pay more attention on housing and health care. Bowring was the one who suggested that Tang Ying Yan was better than CY Leung, before the time when Tang was found having illegal structure. However, today, Bowring is going to change his stance.

Well, the housing problem is still rousing, even though CY had done so many mouth promises, pretending to be exhausted in finding land to build. While a lot of brownfield haven't been explored, He suggests everybody to think out of the box, persuading people to use country park land. By no mean don't those localists with entrenched environmental awareness disagree with it, but CY Leung seems not even care about those

    The topic of my project is gentrification in Wicker Park and Humboldt Park. In my video I show how the remodeling of these neighborhoods causes a negative effect on those that live there. Usually development projects are meant to beautify and make neighborhoods a better place to live; though, this only causing more problems by raising nearby housing prices, and making many unable to afford their homes.…

    The “brothers of the green woods” are highway robbers with a Robin Hood type disposition. Ma Joong and Chiao Tai are two highwaymen that gave up their robbing ways and joined Judge Dee as his lieutenants. Once, when Judge Dee was traveling to the capital on some official business, these two men attacked him and his party on the road intending to rob them. Judge Dee at once saw that Ma Joong and Chiao Tai, far from being common thieves, were men of a heroic disposition, while the passes they made at him showed him convincingly that they were well versed in the arts of fencing and boxing. Instead of fighting with these men, it seemed to Judge Dee that he might try to reform these men, and use their service later to assist him in executing the King’s business. He ordered them to desist and gave them a speech that greatly moved them. By hearing Judge Dee speak they realized they were in the presence of a man with very good virtue. They explained that they became highwaymen because they found the Empire in turmoil and wicked ministers in charge at Court. With only their able bodies and knowledge of the martial arts, they had no other course but to take to the highway. But since Judge Dee spoke to them with such kindness they vowed to give up robbery and show their gratitude for his kindness. Judge Dee made them his lieutenants and sends them out to make discreet inquiries; interview witnesses,…

    Selling the land to real estate developers to build homes benefits the luxury develops and possible buyers. However, selling the land does nothing to help with the current repairs of the school. This decision might even upset the citizens who want a recreational park instead of a dog park. There is little space available from the natural environment.…

    It is easy to relate to Ehrenreich’s trials and tribulations with the housing situation because being from San Francisco, the housing market has always been expensive, even years ago when I got my first place before the dot com boom, and all the new software company start ups. Also in an expensive city that’s only seven by seven miles, low cost housing is hard to come by. Anything new being built in the city is very overpriced and even the old houses and buildings are very expensive. In bad areas of the city one could maybe find affordable housing, but one would still need a lot of money for move-in costs. So a lot of people have to live outside of San Francisco in less desirable cities.…

    Barrio Logan Case

    It’s mainly been difficult because the chemical and naval corporations in the vicinity are unwilling to negotiate with the community to redevelop, forcing this community to be physically pinned down. Also, unfortunately local government hasn’t been helpful either. Therefore, my prospective on how the community is addressing these issues has changed, and how I see gentrification issues of the community. Lastly, due to these external factors, families rather work on and combat other tangible social justice issues, such as immigration, food insecurity and healthcare mainly because they can directly see the results of their…

    The government subsidized Jordan Downs Housing Projects in the Watts district of Los Angeles consist of 700 units that are home to some of the poorest residents in the entire state of California. Recently a measure was unanimously passed by the LA City Council that calls for the demolition and redevelopment of the projects, leaving a gravely uncertain future for the nearly 2400 low income residents that currently occupy Jordan Downs. The poor condition and high crime rate have caused nearly unanimous support from the residents for some form of government intervention in the area, though the extremity of the proposed redevelopment has community members uneasy about their future.…

    Ever since the 1960s, there has been an influx of high-income populations moving into urban areas from the suburbs. This phenomenon was coined ‘gentrification’ by sociologist Ruth Glass in 1964 to describe “the movement of upscale (mostly white) setters into rundown (mostly minority) neighborhoods” (Hampson). Proposition 555 has stated that in order to increase government funding and provide citizens a better life with a cleaner environment and safer community, the process of gentrification would require the destruction of some old and unsafe houses. Since then, this policy has received mixed reception from all walks of life. Protagonists, on one side, consider gentrification as the solution to current hard urban issues. Antagonists, on the other side, believe…

    Suburban America Promise

    I found out that there is a lot more to the political side of suburban communities. For example, in the documentary they talked about Long Island, New York suburban areas and how depending on the governor that is elected into office. That will determine on whether or not the money for development and sustainment will go to Manhattan Island for the city or to Long Island for the suburban areas. I thought before watching the documentary it would be about problems within the community, for example two neighbors having a dispute about problems in their daily lives or problems with unwelcome pets trespassing on their property. As I watched the documentary I didn’t really have any questions in mind about the…

    The world is constantly changing. Within all changes there are mixed views and controversy. This happens especially when the topic is about gentrification. According to the article “What is Gentrification?”, gentrification is a term for “the arrival of wealthier people in an existing urban district”(Grant). Now the concept itself is like a mathematical equation: economic increase plus a safer neighborhood equals a positive reputation. Still, there are those who believe the idea of gentrification produces a negative outcome for the community. Despite the cons to gentrification one should strongly take into consideration the positive effect it leaves in a community. The question now is, why are there residents against the idea, if gentrifying…

    Bay Area Argument Essay

    I agree with the content and observation within the article, because it is a growing problem in California, especially in the Bay Area. However, the writing style and delivery in which it is portrayed is relying more on emotional appeal, rather on the logical aspect such as numbers and charts. Levin details the displacement of individuals in the Reserve Apartments, due to the fact that it is being dismantled to make way for a development of market-rate housing, because it can lure people of higher income into the world’s prosperous-technology businesses. However, it would pose a problem to many of the tenants, because it would mean they would have to move to other locations where rents is more affordable.…

    Zoning In Houston

    All residents regardless of income level want to live in a beautiful and well constructed city and Houstonians have found ways to work around the lack of zoning regulations. From Houston’s case example, the lack of zoning does not mean a lack of rules, but it does mean a lack of thoughtful planning and consideration of who the rules benefit. It is commonly the more affluent neighborhoods that have strong homeowner associations to police deed restrictions, while lower-income neighborhoods with weak or non-existent deed restrictions are left defenseless. Government regulations must balance the interests of residents to have aesthetic neighborhoods with the need for the construction industry to respond to market demands for housing so prices can be kept…

    As modifications are made and longtime residents removed the region irreversibly changes into something new, and all of the personality along with its rich antiquity is replaced by frilly boutiques and cookie cutter housing complexes. The area begins to take on a new life, and as this transition takes place the things that made a neighborhood a loving memory quickly becomes a fleeting idea. This isn’t to say that change is necessarily unwarranted, but if something is going to change it should because the people have allowed it, and they will be around to enjoy those changes. The modifications brought forth by gentrification are solely enjoyed by those moving in. The residents being forced out are gone before the area has fully reached its new chic status. With them goes the memory of their neighborhood all the child banter from playing baseball in the lot, along with the gossip filled bodega at the corner of the street. All of this replaced by upscale dessert shops and high rise, lofts for newfound professionals. The security that a home used to provide is stripped for the benefit of those that want to live in the new “it” area. Nation (2016) writes “Developers targeting young professionals and global investors have sent a surge of capital into places where public and private dollars once fled. Families in these areas that never escaped the recession are now feeling the shove.” This…

    High quality homes aren’t enough for everyone to live in a high standard, for this reason spatial inequality exists. The people that have money have a greater chance of getting a big, nice home rather than those who don’t have money. In the interview Neighborhood Visit 1 Chapter 9, tells us that there’s only 18 square feet per person of green space in the federal district of Iztapalapa and Magdalena Contreras. This isn’t much space if people keep coming to urban cities such as Mexico City. This connects back to homes because the less space available the less amount of houses build for people to live in. People live in block homes with tar covered roofs that have a lack of water and electricity. People living in Mexico City need an equal amount of green space because the rich people might have huge homes that take a lot of space while other people are living on the street struggling just to have a roof over their heads.…

    Urban sprawl is destroying wildlife, rapidly expanding, and causing a rise in pollution and disease. If people keep in mind all these detrimental effects of urban sprawl more people will want to start taking a stand against it and get laws and such passed to help slow, and stop sprawl.
