When it comes to landscape origins, crime levels, architecture, neighborhood plans, leisure spirit, and health rates, SCV and Levittowns share similarities to such a large extent. ]]> 2018-04-11 01:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250537911 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250540018 The creator of Levittown mentioned in an interview that how his homes were best known for their spacious housing. They offered compartments with conveniently large storage availability. They would be stylishly camoflauged with the rest of the house. The same was done in Santa Clarita homes. There are convenient areas with easy-reach compartments. These areas blend in and match with the style of the rest of the rooms.]]> 2018-04-11 02:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250540018 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250545155 Santa Clarita Valley is known for having a vigilant police department always on hold to respond to any threats. The total population in Santa Clarita is 181,972. The probability of being a victim of a crime in SCV is about 1 in 529. In Levittowns, the locals went under a widespread feeling of pride and unity. This led to a reputation of low crime rates within Levittowns, much like Santa Clarita.]]> 2018-04-11 02:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250545155 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250547001 In Santa Clarita, residential zones have houses built with the same planning. For example, houses would have 4 bedrooms, typically 3 on the 2nd floor, and one more on the lower. The first-level bedroom would go near the front entrance to the house, while the top three would be closely bunched around a laundry room. In Levittowns, "modern ranch houses" were widely advertised as the home design of the new age. They would consist of 3-4 rooms, in similar structures surrounding a bathroom or laundry room. In addition, living rooms & kitchens from both eras were always placed next to each other in a fashion that lines up against the terrace or backyard. This also includes exterior construction. Santa Clarita homes are follow a pattern very two-to-three houses.]]> 2018-04-11 02:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250547001 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250979502 Another major similarity between Levittowns and Santa Clarita Valley is spending time leisurely. Levittowns started building more grocery stores, baseball diamonds, pools, etc. In Santa Clarita Valley, each neighborhood has community pools and large parks with basketball and baseball areas. There are plazas with numerous stores that offer equipment for sports, food for cooking, and televisions for home theaters. In major cities and metropolises, there are no parks spread around business and residential zones, but rather very large parks approximately every couple dozen square miles at the minimum. Clearly, both towns share a spirit of leisure time within their inhabitants. ]]> 2018-04-12 02:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250979502 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250983758 Levittowns were known for splitting up their towns into small sectors or regions. They would refer to these areas with easily recognizable names, such as ... . Santa Clarita is similar, in that there are miniature sectors with different themes for their streets. There are neighborhoods with streets named after poets, authors, trees, and flowers. Some of these neighborhoods are distinguished by the types of buildings they contain. For example, there are regions dedicated to explicitly residential zones, while there are others with either educational or commercial retail zones. ]]> 2018-04-12 03:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250983758 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250985203 Levittowns were also known for being dedicated to medical care for their citizens and having high health ratings in their towns. They would build hospitals and pharmacies available to all citizens. Santa Clarita is the same way, in that it is home to many different clinics and medical centers. There are medical care places such as Henry Mayo, Facey, and Kaiser.]]> 2018-04-12 03:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/250985203 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/251007463 Here is a side-by-side comparison of two homes with twin exterior designs]]> 2018-04-12 06:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/251007463 tabagoo12 https://padlet.com/tabagoo12/ejfn8sk7s9n0/wish/251008425 Left photo: Westfield Valencia Town Center (Mall)
