So, we went out on a sort of neighborhood tour. We visited Homestead, EastLiberty, and Shadyside. They were alike in some ways but also very diffrent. Homestead was the first place we visited it didnt have many green practices, but there was alot of open green space not being used for anything. It seemed afforadle for people to live. Theres alot of places where you can go for eating, shop for clothes in other things in that nature, right down the street. I didnt see alot of litter anywere, and it seemed pretty peacful on the roads were drove on. Next, we visted East Liberty which is also a very liveable community. Theres alot of green bussinesses and stores around. They have a co-op, with lots of organic foods. That are locally grown and healthier. Theres really alot of new things being put into East Liberty, & its really coming along nice. Also on the other hand it seems as if there trynna push the colored or low income people out, and make it like it use to be back in the day. Even though its nice over there I wouldnt consider moving ouat there. Shadyside is another beautiful community to live in also has alot of green practices. Lots of green, such as gardens, recycle bins solar panels and lots of trees. Altthough it seems as if its more expensive then the other places. If i had a good income i would love to live there, but if not i wouldnt.
The community i live in today is called beechview its not a real big community on green, but we do have lots of garbage cans and recycling bins on the streets. We also have a farmers market every Thursday which is a good thing. Fresh fruit & vegetables from a local farm is always a plus. It's also affordable for my mom and her five kids. The only thing i would change about the community would be more local stores. Also, more green practices.
