Sanctuary Hills is a private neighborhood built 2265 and was built for the high end of society. In the year 2287, a nuke decimated the entire northern east coast including Sanctuary Hills. The sole survivor of Vault 111 rebuilt the glorious neighborhood two centuries later. That is not the full truth. There is much more to the history of the neighborhood than meets the eye. Two centuries after the nuclear attack, the sole survivor escaped the vault in search of his child that he did not know was 60 years old due to the fact of him being locked in a cryogenic chamber. When he escaped he found his old neighborhood infested with super mutants. so he headed off to the only place he could think of. He headed straight to The Prydwin, the home of

  • Chavez Ravine

    1879 Words  | 4 Pages

    Years ago, there was once a small town called Chaves Ravine within Los Angeles, California and this town was a poor rural community that was always full of life. Two hundred families, mostly Chicano families, were living here quite peacefully until the Housing Act of 1949 was passed. The Federal Housing Act of 1949 granted money to cities from the federal government to build public housing projects for the low income. Los Angeles was one of the first cities to receive the funds for project. Unfortunately, Chavez Ravine was one of the sites chosen for the housing project, so, to prepare for the construction work of the low-income apartments, the Housing Authority of Los Angeles had to convince the people of the ravine to leave, or forcibly oust them from their property. Since Chavez Ravine was to be used for public use, the Housing Authority of Los Angeles was able seize and buy Chavez Ravine from the property owners and evict whoever stayed behind with the help of Eminent Domain. The LA Housing Authority had told the inhabitants that low-income housing was to be built on the land, but, because of a sequence of events, the public housing project was never built there and instead Dodgers Stadium was built on Chavez Ravine. Although Chavez Ravine public housing project was the result of the goodwill and intent of the government, rather than helping the people Chavez Ravine with their promise of low-income housing, the project ended up destroying many of their lives because of those in opposition of the public housing project and government mismanagement.

  • Development of Neighborhoods in Chicago

    1872 Words  | 4 Pages

    Chicago in the 1920s was a turning point for the development of ethnic neighborhoods. After the opening of the first rail connection from New York to Chicago in the 1840s, immigration sky rocketed from that point on. Majority of the immigrants to Chicago were Europeans. The Irish, Italians, eastern European Jews, Germans, and Mexicans were among the most common ethnicities to reside in Chicago. These groups made up the greater part of Chicago. The sudden increase in immigration to Chicago in the 1920s soon led to an even further distinguished separation of ethnicities in neighborhoods. The overall development of these neighborhoods deeply impacted how Chicago is sectioned off nowadays. Without these ethnicities immigrating to Chicago almost 100 years ago, Chicago neighborhoods would not be as culturally defined and shaped as they are today.

  • The Problems of Southern California

    1808 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the main issues that the book, “Ecology of Fear,” discussed about were the inherent dangers and problems that suburbanization imposed upon the landscape of Southern California. Although suburbanization in theory and in reality did create abundant benefits to a great mass of people, especially to those who wanted to avoid the daily nuisances of urban city life, its negative consequences were quite grave indeed. Suburbanization led to a complete eradication to the natural landscape of many areas in California. The book’s vivid accounts of how the lush, green landscape was bulldozed just to build tracts of homes were a painful reminder of the beauty that was lost due to suburbanization. “In 1958 sociologist William Whyte – author of The Organization Man – had a disturbing vision as he was leaving Southern California. ‘Flying from Los Angeles to San Bernardino – an unnerving lesson in man’s infinite capacity to mess up his environment – the traveler can see a legion of bulldozers gnawing into the last remaining tract of green between the two cities’.” (Davis, p. 77)...

  • Our Town

    469 Words  | 1 Pages

    Wilder's passionate plea in the play is to appreciate every moment of every day, for life is a fleeting thing. With troubles rapidly expanding in Europe and war becoming a looming reality, people were inundated with the negative aspects of life. To see Our Town was to escape from the negative and rejoice in the ordinary; it reaffirmed faith in the unchanging moral values of small town living. It was obviously the balm that audiences needed in the midst of a pessimistic and changing world. Through his play, Wilder tries to teach the audience to seize the moment and enjoy living. There are no guarantees about a certain life span, as evidenced by the premature deaths of Emily Webb and her brother, Wally; tomorrow may be too late. By calling the drama Our Town and portraying ordinary people and events, the people in the audience and the readers of the play can identify with the theme and apply it to their own lives. Our Town is an unusual play in structure. It intentionally contains little action, in order to support the theme; nothing exciting or

  • Environmental Racism: Discrimination, Causes And Consequences Of Environmental Racis

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    Minority communities are often in areas with lower land values (Kevin 1991). Also, it is likely that house prices declined in the surrounding neighborhood after the waste facility was introduced and economically depressed minority group members may have been unable to move to more affluent settings (Noonan, Krupka and Baden 2007). It is also plausible that minorities move to these neighborhoods at least in part because of the availability and proximity of jobs in the waste facility (Noonan, Krupka & Baden 2007). Additionally, the minority population in these neighborhoods may have grown due to the common tendency of people who move to different communities to migrate to areas already settled by relatives and fellow ethnic group members (Noonan, Krupka and Baden 2007). All these factors independent of racism play a role in why poor minorities live near waste

  • The Atmosphere Of The Neighborhood

    1191 Words  | 3 Pages

    Zhao Zhuang, a rural neighborhood in Taiyuan, a second tier city in China, is the place where I was born. Rather than shopping malls, theaters and indifferent neighbors who are always busy doing their jobs; farms, storytelling and caring people were what I needed to face. The rural neighborhood in one way enabled me, a girl younger than six years old, to talk to people from different age groups, ranging from one year old to eighty years old, and who have various life experience, ranging from people who never had a job to ones who switched several jobs in lifetime (AUTHOR). The atmosphere of the neighborhood makes me inclusive enough to feel comfortable and always curious to learn from others. In another way the environment reinforced gender scripts. Since agriculture is the main industry in rural area of China, boys are expected to farm and girls are expected to stay at home and do housework. The notion of doing gender took root in my mind until senior high school. My parents, a female kindergarten teacher and a male businessman without BA diplomas, were in a low economic class, like most people do not have BA diplomas end up with (AUTHOR); they firmly believed in financially upward mobility, and so sent me to my grandparents’ apartment, in the rural area, 10 days after I was born in order to focus on their jobs.
