Hey,
I hope everyone is faring well after the storm. Unfortunately, I am still without power, but being at school today has restored some sense of normalcy!
When last I posted, I had figured out my argument. Hooray! Now, I am working on actually formulating the data to substantiate it. I have an article from Peter Salins, “City, Suburbs, and the Urban Crisis.” It outlines the growing urban crisis, due to the exodus of wealth and business due to suburbs. Salins argues that, because there is a tax incentive, as well as a social incentive, for people to move to suburbs, it increases the likelihood, leaving cities to do more with less. Right now, I am trying to find more articles with data that outlines the economic impact of this move on cities, as well as sociological articles as to how the enforcement of Broken Windows changes residents’ perception of crime.
See you all tomorrow!
