More on Urban Neighborhoods

Many neighborhoods seem to be segregated by race, income and hypothesized demographics. I think that we are still living in communities that are segregated by class and race. This can only be proved by the financial officers who let this happen. Perhaps urban neighborhoods are kept in their position so that people don't have to recognize the rich diversity that surrounds them. I think that the media, especially television news promotes fear of urban neighborhoods. How many times have we heard stories of shootings, robberies, rape and domestic abuse in these neighborhoods? The real problem is poverty, which is not being addressed. Instead we are taught to fear these neighborhoods that are rich in culture and diversity. Many people live here, and not all of them commit crime. Often only the negative stories are heard of in these neighborhoods. I especially like the photograph of the American flag in front of this Latin-American structure. The flag in front of this building represents the heart and freedom of America.
