Response to Greenpark Homes

Woodbrige is a great place to live. I live just on the outskirts of it and woodbridge avenue and vellore woods are two of the most successful and famous places in this area. Although i beg to differ on the fact that the feature collection of homes are elegant and exquiste, but rather that it is the same as any ither house in the area, just more up to date. It is not good for the area i live in that continues to develop over time, because taxes are never ending!! These spaces which will eventually turn into places are like any other place in scale. They just make these new homes sound so perfect with a "powder room, gourmet island kitchen"..etc. It is just a tool advertisers use to pull one into the market of buying an extravagent home. About any neighbourhood on the urban fringe is family friendly, surrounded by life's necessities like food stores, shopping malls. Although it is important to note that these homes are trying to be sold as high class entities that are used by the middle and upper middle classes. Relating this to lectures and readings, this is an area which is highly inaccessible by public transport for people who have physical disabilities. Services and places must be reached by car or public transit, because almost nothing is in walking distance. Fear can also be discussed in terms of security and types of people (families) that will be living in the area. If older families move into this nieghbourhood and become emptynesters, many young people will be seen walking the streets. If younger families move in, children will be playing the yards and more family acitivities will take place in the community. As these children age and become young adults, they will hang out in the streets at night and cause the elder people to be fearful. Personal spaces such as the home may be a fearful place, even in woodbridge,where more and more crime has been taking place over the years.
Spaces and places have been changing and transforming over the years, this process will never finish! (FIRE ALARM WENT OFF!! I HAVE TO CUT THIS SHORT!!) sorry....have a great summer everyone!
