Being involved in your community and being a change that people want to see is fantastic and allows the place we call home to grow. Instead of waiting for someone to be the change, make that person who’s making the change be you. You should do more volunteering, more activities to meet new people, and so much more. Not every city or state is going to be perfect but it’s always worth a
Throughout examining past budgets, it was noticed that states usually tend to shift their expenditures towards the future in order to meet their current period budgets, and this usually occurs with states that have strict balanced budget requirements. The positive aspect towards balancing this city’s budget was to make sure that the budget is spent equally and efficiently on areas that need more focus within the city, since the city does not want any tax increases it should be able to spend money on maintaining basic city services for the neighborhoods as well addressing issues such as pension benefits, employment, employee health benefits and so on. As for the negative aspect to balancing the City of Calma’s budget is that it may not be easy to deal with a budget if the city is going through an economic crisis, there might be a recurring form of deficit spending which causes a negative effect on the value of the dollar. Also, percentages of the budget are usually used in order to finance activities that produce a particularly negative effect on the economic activities. For example, many agencies have relatively small budgets but they enforce great costs on the economy’s private
The Regent Park Employment Plan and TCHC provide connections to jobs available through Regent Park revitalization, city-wide initiatives, and wider labour market opportunities. Revitalized Regent Park creates a wider job market, furthermore being more economically
These do ensure that leaders can come up with strategies that factor in inputs from various stakeholders and sectors ensures that the policies in place are aligned to the strengths of locals and available resources as well as assets. Such partners include community-based organizations, hospitals, learning institutions as well as religious organizations that are in touch with the members of the city and who have the wishes of the city at heart. With this, it becomes possible to achieve the ambitious targets of a progressive economy. The restoration of the American Dream is an immense responsibility that usually calls upon city leaders to have appropriate insights that do offer solutions that are in themselves long lasting and effective. Cities can also strive towards ensuring that the wage gaps are healthy and not as devastating they currently are on those seeking the American Dream.
The Summary of My Testimony on Plea-Bargaining State legislators are considering a bill that bans all plea-bargaining in our state. As the leading expert on plea-bargaining, I’m aware of the instrumental role that it plays in our justice system. Therefore, I’m grateful that this committee wants to hear from me. From the outset, I would like to state my definitive position on this matter: that state legislators should not ban plea bargaining. To support this position, I offer the following testimony.
The advantages of CPTED is that communities will have opportunities to play meaningful roles in crime prevention in their neighborhood, business leaders/owners will gain safer locations that are more attractive to customers and employees, and lastly planners/architects will gain a greater role in designing the environment. Law enforcement will benefit from this method because it will give links to repeating offenders in a specific area and gives clarification and action on important priorities in a community. The advantages will continue to expand in every agency using this method, due to new ideas that can be
Camping for your life may seem like a fun idea to some people. To others, it is a means of survival. Through a sympathetic and understanding tone, Scott Bransford’s article titled Camping for Their Lives discusses the rise in tent cities across America. Bransford wants everyone to understand what life is like for the people living in these cities. His hope is that by sharing this information, he can help create a better community inspired life for the tent city residents.
“The Triumph of the City” by Edward Glaeser gives insight into factors that can make an urban center thrive economically and culturally as well. A city that provides a conducive environment for people to live in ultimately leads to its development. Cities such as Paris and New York are a reflection of successful cities in the book. They offer a business-friendly environment and job opportunities as well. However, they too face challenges of rapid urbanization such as high-cost of living and congestion.

For those asylum seekers who come and are financially unstable even buying or renting a house can be a big problem and with the brexit happening, global share prices and the economy could change. I ask you again do we want to put people who have come seeking for a better life through this. won't it be better for us to send aid to the respective countries and help them with there
I do agree with the rebuilding to make the city look better but not with the rising rent prices and displacing families. Hopefully in the future the process of gentrification would change and not include rising rent prices, or people can choose if they want it in their area or
It’s an interesting approach what did the city New Orleans to combat this issue. I think it was a smart move to check around to see the homeless population in the city. Therefore the city can create a better budget to tackle this issue. Also I think the mayor did a great job by bringing active military members to help fight this problem. The soldiers bring valuable help because they understand the struggles a veteran that might go through when returning home.
However, what is happening now in Yonkers is the reverse effect. This decrease in value can be attributed to the current state of Getty Square and the homeless. Yet, this statistic will not last forever. In fact, the fervor the Mayor has for this project will ultimately force him to make a critical decision: continue to rebuild Yonkers while still maintaining a place for the homeless, or get rid of them in order to increase rent
Introduction As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive? In my opinion, urban areas are places that consist of a variety of land uses and buildings, where services and amenities are easily accessible to the general public, and includes an established multimodal transportation network. Also, it should be a place where people can play, learn, work, and grow in a safe and collaborative manner.
