While it is great that this neighborhood has a large park for recreation, the area is not kept up well. Much of the greenery is dead or dying. There are no sprinklers to maintain the plants, the grass is uncut, and the area could be much more aesthetically welcoming overall.

Many people in this neighborhood cannot maintain their houses properly due to lack of money. Because of this, a lot of the houses have broken parts, boarded-up windows, overgrown plants, and basically no yard.

While I'm sure this place makes great food, the building is in rough shape. There is graffiti on the back of the building and the signs are worn and difficult to read. If the building had better signage and was better kept up, I think the business would get more business due to a more welcoming appearance.

In the middle of a street of houses, there was an empty field. In my opinion, this field brought down the aesthetic value of this street immensely. The grass was dead and overgrown weeds were covering the area. I think this empty space could be used for something more helpful such as a house, recreational space, or garden.

This building is called Louise Gardens. I believe that the garden is still in business, but it is not clear by simply looking at the area. The sign for the business is down the street from the gardens and is small and difficult to read. There are also paper signs with writing in marker on them. I think this business could use some help improving the professionalism of their appearance and their advertising.

I decided to include two houses in my project because, in my opinion, rundown houses are the biggest deficit in this neighborhood. Many houses had graffiti on the outside, broken or boarded windows, chipping paint, broken porches, dead lawns, and garbage covering the area around the houses. I think these people need help from the city to maintain their houses and clean up the neighborhood.

This project has shown me how diverse one neighborhood can be. On the same street as nicer and well-kept-up houses, some houses were falling apart. Also, many in-need neighborhoods have the "items" that we look for in a functioning neighborhood like churches, markets, parks, etc., but just because they have these resources doesn't mean that they are well-maintained. I think it should be the city or the state's responsibility to ensure these areas are kept up and available for residents. I did some research on this neighborhood and found that it is one of the more dangerous areas in Salt Lake City. It has more homelessness and crime than some other areas. I strongly believe that improving the resources this neighborhood already has like a park, a homelessness reduction office, a food pantry, a thrift store and more would make the area safer and more welcoming for families and surrounding residents.
