Waste, Abuse Assure Changes In Section 8 Housing, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"The series of articles and subsequent editorials on the Section 8 program that appeared in these papers have drawn several angry responses to the editor from residents of this government-assisted housing. Typical is the following: 'When something worthwhile is being done for the handicapped and elderly in Rhode Island, why do you do your best to kill it?...If the Section 8 program is hurt in any way because of your articles, you can sit back and laugh while 1,700 future applicants for housing are crying.'"

Suburban Elderly Speak Out In Providence, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"The talk was designed to elicit information and reactions from the audience of elderly. And it did just that because old people do not waste words and are not reluctant to speak out, perhaps because they realize that they have little time left, so they were ready with their comments and quite willing to fill out the questionnaire."

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "Burglary Offender Characteristics Can Be Predicted: Enhancing Investigation Efficiency Through the Development of Probability Models¹," by Chris W. Eskridge.

Crime is not a new phenomenon in American living. For decades, researchers have documented and projected the growth and devastating complexity of the crime problem in the United States, its causes, and its destructive effects on national life. The intense damage to innocent persons, property, and spirit, coupled with the lingering fear of unprovoked, unpredictable violence are indeed familiar entities in all realms of society.

More Tenants Would Strengthen Downtown Retailing, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"One of the most obvious symptoms of our sick cities is the decline of downtown retailing. Everywhere vacant shops and empty upper floors remind us of an activity that was the mainstay of downtown vitality, and which today has increasingly shifted to the ubiquitous suburban mall, that notable merchandising technique."

Although some of the ideas were in conflict, those who read this report will find some common threads on which to build a program. Different interests have different …

Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski

The net migration figure was developed for a given county by subtracting the number of households …

Right Mix For Successful Downtown Renewal, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"It is sometimes called a 'big, small town.' It has all the trappings of a large urban center: from outdoor concerts at the Civic Center to a Go-Go lounge; parking problems and traffic congestion, to a Worthinton Street where bars and prostitutes prevail; and vacant old buildings , to new, high-rise office blocks. Sheer numbers alone in this city bring visible evidence of the activities and characteristics common to the downtowns of most large American cities."

As a unit the American region known as the Great Plains suffered net migration losses in each of the five census periods prior to 1970. During the following six years, however, these losses had begun to abate.¹ This study examines the 1970-1976 net migration changes in a bloc of 320 nonmetropolitan, nonmetropolitan- fringe counties roughly coincident with the Great Plains and seeks to account for the higher net migration gains recorded …

Housing Rehabilitation Working In Hoboken, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"One may not believe the argument but George Kohn, executive vice president of Applied Housing Associates, makes an interesting point. His business is housing, and he raises the question of where one should live--Manhattan or Hoboken. Why live on Manhattan's West Side, he asks, and pay $1,000 a month to wake each morning and view the flat, industrial ad boring New Jersey landscape across the Hudson? Why not live in Hoboken, at a $250 monthly rental, and view the fantastic, and only one like it in the world, Manhattan skyline to the east? Thirty cents and a 12-minute PATH subway …

Visit Radburn Where People Turn Their Backs To The Automobile, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"After 50 years it is still one of America's most visited communities, yet there is little for the tourist to see or do. It consists of only 150 acres, as mall part of the municipality of Fair Lawn, with 3,000 persons living in 430 single-family houses and 196 apartments, row houses and duplexes. Except for the sizable expanses of green spaces and differently arranged houses, what is it about Radburn, located just 10 miles west of the George Washington Bridge, that makes it such a unique community?"

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "New Migration Patterns Emerge in U.S.: The Movement of Metropolitan Populations to Nonmetropolitan America: Anomaly or Trend?" by David R. DiMartino.

Internal migration patterns have shifted markedly in the United States during the twentieth century. The exodus of rural populations to urban centers which dominated internal migration during the nineteenth century continued into the twentieth. By mid-century, however, that earlier pattern had given way to different, dominant trends. On the one hand, urban centers had grown massively and were sprawling rapidly out· ward, creating a pattern of decentralized metropolitan populations in …

American Migratory Patterns between 1970 and 1976 began to reflect a growing tendency for metropolitan counties (SMSA's)1 to suffer net migration losses and for nonmetropolitan counties to record net migration gains. The nonmetropolitan counties which had the largest net gains were those which are contiguous to an SMSA and which thus form a metropolitan fringe. This contiguity of SMSA and fringe suggests that a loss in a given SMSA is …

For more than a century Americans have migrated from the rural communities in which they were raised, but by 1970 this process had begun to change. Nebraska, however, has not reflected this change, and as late as 1976 the State stood alone among seven central and southern plains states in having non-metropolitan losses in population.! Nevertheless, during the 1970's the number of manufacturing industries in the State's …

More Inner City Jobs, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"Congressman Henry S. Reuss of Wisconsin has given the answer most succinctly: "The most straightforward way to help cities is to provide jobs...From a city's standpoint, jobless citizens make no contributions to a community's revenues. But they add greatly to its costs for welfare, crime, and assorted ills."
