Marlo Height vs. Colony Park

Marlo Height
In Marlo Heights Community, the residents feel that their issues is due to the crime in the neighborhood because they don't know their neighbors and because of the poor lighting around their  house which causes the residents to fear what they don't see.
Colony Park
In Colony Parks, the only thing that the community wants is to have a better living environment. In the Colony Parks community their biggest issue is that they are fighting for better living arrangements they have with the City of Austin. (the rat infestation, and poor housing structures) The City of Austin categories Colony Parks as a poor-living community and does nothing to change that.
MH and CP
I believe that in Marlo Heights and Colony Parks Communities both need for there resident to get to know each resident better and to have beautification within their community.
Gentrification
Is a shift in an urban community to attacked a wealthier residents to increase the property values, but that also cause the old/poor residents to move out because they are unable to live in a high cost living environment. ex. Colony Parks
Food Desert
Is when affordable healthy food is difficult to obtain. Ex. Colony Parks
