Why My Family Moved To Nathron Heights

307 Words2 Pages

My family moved around a lot for many reasons. There were two things that pushed them and one thing that pulled them. They all lived near Natrona Heights, I believe, but they moved to Burrell and there weren’t many urbanization issues. Burrell is safe and there are cops looking over schools and houses. One push factor for why they moved was from the lack of security and lack of safety. When my parents had me, they were prejudice and thought that New Kensington wasn’t a very safe place for me to live in. There were shootings and break-ins. My parents didn’t want me to grow up in a bad environment. A pull factor when they moved was because the area was safer. There were less shootings. There were also nicer people and better security.

Everyday we walk down streets we’ve traversed thousands of times -- or will-- and everyday they get a little bit different, a collection of faces passing us by, old and new. I am one of those new faces, a recent New Orleans transplant. While I can 't speak to the impact of changes this city and its residents have gone through, being from heavily gentrified Oakland, CA, I can certainly relate to the twisted mess of pride, politics, and pain that comes with the feeling of being a newcomer in your own city.

  • Race, Housing, And The Soul Of Suburbia Summary

    1580 Words  | 7 Pages

    The idea of equality for all people, regardless of their race, is instilled in the American society of today. Unfortunately, this idea has not always been present, which ultimately has caused many issues for America’s society in the past. As discussed in the book Our Town: Race, Housing, and the Soul of Suburbia, David L. Kirp focuses on the inequality that was found between the low-income blacks and the middle class whites in a South Jersey town, Mount Laurel. At the time, the whites had a goal of running the blacks out of the town by making the costs of housing expensive enough where blacks could not afford it. This lead to unequal treatment for the blacks who lived in Mount Laurel compared to the whites when it came to housing opportunities.

It all started when my mom tried kicking my step dad out of the house for domestic violence. She kicked him out because not only has he fought with my mom, but he and I have fought a few times. Everything seemed fine at first until he kept bringing police officers to our house claiming almost all of our household items were his and he wanted to get them back.
