I feel like my neighborhood still need's more gun control.

# data[].attributes.body
As of last week compared to my observations from last year, nothing has really changed in terms the number of trees in my neighborhood.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its mostly the same It most likely has gotten worse gentrification wise.

# data[].attributes.body
Something similar is the need for people to come together. Some that has changed is that now we need more of an impact towards crime.

Whats similair is the same amount of garbage. What changed is that theres less smokers than there used to be and thats good, so less cig buds all over the place.

Not much changed from last summer something that did change was the cleaning not much though because they could clean up more in the buildings they started to do it every morning for outside but not in the buildings .

The things that are similar from this time and last time is the violence and the littering problem.

there is a lot of crackheads that are not afraid to jump at you and people in my neighborhood end up smacking crackheads whenever they are sleep which is messed up but sometimes the crackheads start it

# data[].attributes.body
I participated in decade of fire last year in 2021. I focused mainly on the amount of homeless people that were in the neighborhood and how bad it's getting. The series helped me realize that there's more of a history behind the place I live at.

# data[].attributes.body
i particpated in february and my project was on the enviroment of my neighborhood being filled with litter. when i was researching i actually realized more about why neighborhoods like mine have more litter problems than usual.

# data[].attributes.body
nothing has changed since last year, the rent is still rising and the roads have gotten worse .
