I currently live in the suburbs of Miami, otherwise known as Homestead, FL which is a very hot and rainy area. Homestead is mostly flat and grassy. In this region the majority of the population is Hispanic and the most practiced religion is Christianity. We are very close to the Everglades, which are filled with much wildlife, ranging from raccoons to the invasive species, anacondas. Homestead is the second oldest city after Miami. We made national news because of a category 5 hurricane, Andrew, and ever since the city has experienced a building and housing boom. This is a result due to the scarcity of developable land elsewhere in Miami-Dade County.

    All my life I have lived Pearl, MS. I never went out of state for vacation, even though I have always wanted to travel and explore the world. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to go to my parent’s hometown: Santa Catharina, OA. My parents would always show me pictures and videos of their hometown that infatuated me. I would constantly ask my parents to take me, until they finally took me on thanksgiving break. When I arrived to Santa Catharina, I did not expect to see the immense amount of difference that I perceived. The city of Pearl has different geography, cars, and opportunities from Santa…

    I grew up in one of the poorest cities in America, Fresno, California, and I loved it there. There is so much diversity, people who "have it all"; stable income, huge houses, healthy families, and people who have very little; crowded apartments, broken family structures, and barely enough money to pay the bills. It is a very racially and ethnically diverse city. About half of the population of Fresno is caucasian, and about forty percent is Hispanic or Latino. Asians and African-Americans make up the most of the rest of the population. Growing up, I went to a high school in southwest Fresno, which many would consider the "scary part" of town. There was a high concentration of crime, poverty, and specific races in that area, that many people…

    As shown by Figure 4, Miami has a high degree of residential segregation. Hispanics, Blacks, and Whites cluster together, while Asians and other minority groups are dispersed intermittently throughout the White and Hispanic populations. Miami is unique in the sense that Whites are not the dominating control factor in determining residential segregation. Hispanics, regardless to class, choose to sequester in clustered neighborhoods, isolating them from both Whites and Blacks. Whites have the resources…

    My hometown is Tampa, Florida, according to the 2000 census data the city of Tampa consists of predominantly Caucasian and African Americans (Area Connect.) A large part of Tampa’s rich cultural history is thanks to the Cuban and Spanish settlers who established Ybor City in the late 1800’s and the establishment of a military base during the Spanish-American War and in modern times through MacDill Air Force Base being located in South Tampa (City of Tampa.)…

    It is an aspect that is lived day by day around the world. Many of us had to emigrated from our countries of origin in search of new directions, and with the purpose of making our dreams come true, since in our countries we were faced with limitations to obtain them. Not only is it a personal issue, migration has become a global discussion. In many nations the laws and statutes of constitutions have been modified to provide better living conditions. The migration, on a personal level, makes our way of thinking change as we adapt to live in cities unknown and, perhaps for some people, uncertain. Arriving in Miami, I felt at home; As if Colombia were closer than ever. Miami has taught me that it is a city to progress, change and adapt easyly . It has been considered and evaluated in different magazines as the financial and tourist center of Latin America, opening its doors for many. Miami is definitely the city that welcomes us and leads us to reach our dreams.…

    I remember I was with one of my best friends from high school Ricky walking along South Beach and seeing the changes since I moved away to come back to Montreal. While we were walking, he made a comment saying “I’ve never seen so many millionaires that make $20,000 a year” to which I laughed so hard I almost chocked on my water. This city is the perfect example of what not to do and the risks of capitalism and consumer culture, especially in a very young city like Miami. When I moved there in 2001, I remember how empty the city was, which didn’t help with its flat terrain. The skyline was small, downtown was just surface parking lots, and people asked me if I spoke Canadian and lived in igloos, anyways, fast forward to 2005 and the city is being invaded by foreign investors. By 2006-2007 Downtown Miami merged with Brickell, so much so that Brickell is considered the “new downtown” or just “downtown #2” due to the sheer amount of condos built between 2005-2008. Although the boom started prior to 2005, the biggest out of nowhere boom that resembled weeds cracking through sidewalks happened during the 2005-2008 time period when according to diagrams on Skyscraperpage.com, a total of 95 structures were built between those 3 years in and around Miami. During this incredible boom, many citizens were taking out loans thanks to low interest rates, and buying condos everywhere, even though they did not have the financial means to buy them. I remember seeing friends of mine who lived at the poverty line rate move into these new condos, in my head I was thinking “your family makes $24,000 a year, yet you guys bought a condo that was $850,000”. That was the new norm in Miami, luxury and only luxury, nothing else unfortunately. It was during that time the middle class was slowly disappearing, or moving out while the others bought new cars, boats, designer clothes, brand new condos in areas they couldn’t…

    As of right now, I currently live in the suburbs with my mom and younger sister. In the suburban area that I live in consist of a majority of African American people, and a small group of Caucasian and Latino people. The area is a very nice neighborhood, and there is also a middle school that is around the corner where I attended as a kid. The neighborhood now is very quiet, and the other residents are very nice people as well. There is one problem in the area that no one has done anything about is the shortage of affordable housing. For example, down the street there are still some empty homes that no has moved in to and it’s been that way for quite some time now. A couple of months ago there was some thieves who came to the subdivision and…
