Housing Persuasive Speech
Today I am talking about the quality of housing in the North Hill District of Akron. This issue affects everyone in the North Hill district. I live in the North Hill District and I can tell you everything I say is from experience. People are not caring about their quality of their houses. This mentality of housing quality will cause a rot in all houses in America. You no longer see a good looking house with a white picket house, but you see houses that look like they belong in a scary movie. All dirty, broken windows, houses falling apart, garbage out on the front lawn, and dogs barking all day long. This is what 99% of the North Hill District looks like. The other 1% is a street that my friend lives on. The houses their look like a gated community housing. This is …show more content…

That's all Ohio is known for, and the fact people can’t sell their house and move out makes it a bigger problem. We should let the people go we should let them enjoy life, because everyone knows Ohio is depressing. Ways we could solve this problem is getting a Home program set up in North Hill and educating people about what the Home program is. The Home program is a program to help people out with fixing up their house. They do this by getting grants from the government or nonprofit groups, and the money is used to build, buy, and fix up housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. The Home program helps each community different because not every community is the same. The community that is getting worked on only has to pay 25 cents per dollar used making it easy on the residents. The way the community gets its grant is by the housing supply, its incidence of poverty, and its fiscal distress. Which for the North Hill District I think we are overqualified for all those things. So all the people that live in communities like mine you should contact a Local Government

    I think you made some great points. I, too, wear many hats because we are a small organization with three employees. Networking is important because as you mentioned you rely on other physicians to send patients your way. Same thing with my organization we have to rely on other organizations who provide services we don’t. At my organization, we provide affordable housing and we offer a first-time homebuyer’s program but we do not offer the HUD certified homebuyer’s counseling class; therefore, we rely on other non-profits who do offer the class to help our clients.…

    One might believe that this type of change is needed in all neighbor; upper middle class and affluent citizens can move into these neighborhoods, providing resources that low-income residents could have access to. For instance, job opportunities emerge and “credit scores of the poor residents improve in gentrifying neighborhoods” (Gillespie 6). If gentrification seems beneficial on the surface level, then why do some people suffer from its…

    There are many changes that I have observed in my neighborhood since living here for 21 years. There has been a recent migration of homeowners moving out of the neighborhoods. The home owners are either renting out their homes, to a new influx of section 8 tenants or they have chosen to walk away from their homes leaving many in the area to go into foreclosure. Foreclosure and crime are two of the biggest element of change that I have noticed in my neighborhood, and many of these problems arise from the economy, health and illness, and familial structure breakdown.…

    Rent Strikes Harlem

    The continued gentrification of urban centers, though providing a larger tax base and improved funding for cities, has come at the cost of increased housing prices. Housing costs have increased in cities across the U.S., and the percentage of income required to pay for housing has increased as well. The force of gentrification (for neighborhoods that have yet to experience it fully) can also lead to increased concentrations of poverty in low-income neighborhoods. This has produced dilapidation in urban areas that is similar to what occurred in 1950-60’s…

    How would you feel waking up one day and realizing you can’t live in your home anymore? This is what many people in gentrified areas across the US have to deal with every day. Gentrification is an alarming and rapidly growing problem that occurs in most major cities across America. Gentrification is the process of renovating and improving a housing district so that it conforms to a higher class taste. This seems like a good thing but the majority of the time this causes affordable living to skyrocket in price and become high class living. Then the previous homeowners must leave their homes due to the sharp increase in rent money they cannot afford. This slippery slope of events is a clear cut example of why gentrification must be contained to only certain districts in the US.…

    Myth Of Gentrification

    The article, “The Myth of Gentrification: It’s extremely rare and not as bad for the poor as you think” by John Butin, focuses on the positive aspects of remodeling low income neighborhoods. Butin begins the article by stating two facts. Butin believes that popular cities in New York started the trend of gentrification by introducing an upscale vibe to rundown low income neighborhoods. Butin informs the reader how it seemingly started to spread to other states. He describes most peoples’ view with gentrification. Most people believe that gentrification is a displacement of poor people and making the neighborhood inhabitable to those with low wages. Butin states that the goal of gentrification is to change low-income neighborhood into high-income…

    As Columbus has had the highest poverty growth rate over the last seventeen years, what can the community do to allow all people to live “the American dream”? Spreading awareness, giving people opportunities to help, and creating new ways to give to those suffering will put an end to the problem. Willingness and drive is what will take a growing poverty rate and flip it upside down. There is no easier solution than one that by simply telling someone about the poverty issue might lead someone to give or lead another to start an organization. By realizing this issue, a chain reaction automatically starts. A chain reaction that only helps dissolve the issue, not the issue bigger. The issue of poverty within central Ohio can easily be conquered if those who have the ability to act, decide to act. The opportunities to help are circling around the community, waiting for someone to grab ahold of them a start the…

    On the neighborhood level, population loss is still an area of concern. According to data collected by the Greater Ohio Policy Center, the number of neighborhoods losing population faster than the city as a whole dropped slightly from thirteen out of twenty-one between 1990 and 2000 to eleven between 2000 and 2010.

Additionally, the number of neighborhoods with a higher rate of poverty than the city as a whole rose from nine in the year 2000 to thirteen in 2010. In seven of those neighborhoods, over a third of residents were living in poverty.…
