What makes a good community. Michael Nordland

My paper is about what I think makes a good community.
I think a good a good community is what most average American families
either want to,or are currently living in.Whether they are single moms,
or bachelors. They can feel safe knowing they are surrounded by
honest, hard working people.

There is a fine line between a good community, and a bad
one. The economy plays a big role in this. For example, if a car lot closes
all of those people who lost their jobs, will be unable to pay for their houses
until they get another job. If they can't afford the house they live in, they
will be forced to move. On a larger scale this can create a vast amount
of vacant community's, and we all know we cant have a community
without people.

On a better note, if a community has crime watch it will help
weed out the trouble makers, making the community safer. Also, the
neighborhood crime watch people, keep criminals in check.They do
this by talking to neighbors, making sure the criminals haven't violated
their terms of release. In my opinion, I think it would be a good idea to
put crime watch in some of the not so good areas, and see if the crime
rate goes down. I don't know what we would do with out the crime watch
program.

I think speed bumps are a must for a good community.
No one wants to hear a car ripping through the neighborhood.I don't
know about you, but that's not a place i would want to live. unfortunately
for a lot of people, they don't take this into consideration, and get stuck
with this problem. It also puts children at an unnecessary risk.

So to make a good community, you need good people, otherwise
it's not a good community. You should also have crime watch or something
like it, to help prevent crime.As we discussed earlier, the economy can either
make or break a community.But what we didn't discuss is how the economy can
affect the way a house is built.Maybe next time
