Introduction

I live in Rego park it is part of the NEW YORK city borough of QUEENS. The neighbohood North boundary is Elmhurst and Corona, the east and south
is Forest Hills and the west is the Middle village. This area has a huge nember of jewish population, most of them are jewish immigrants who came from Russia , Israil ,
Romania , Iran and Albania. The name "Rego Park" came from the REal GOod Construction Company, which began development of the area in the mid of 1920's,
starting with eight-room houses costing $8,000 each, stores were built in 1926 on Queens blvd and 63rd drive and apartment buildings were built in 1927 and
1928.Queens Center Mall opened in 1972, the boroughs largest shopping center is a few blocks away from my house,which include some of queens most
popular shopping department stores such as macy's , jcpenny and sears. This mall gives a nice view for the area but it makes the area too crawded and noisy by people
and cars during the day time and the weekends.Queens mall affect Rego Park, it became a big shopping district and the busiest area in Queens. It affect the whole
neighborhood statistics,such as the population, real state prices, transportation and the unemployment rate in Rego Park .

This document show how queens center mall is one of the most successful malls in the borough and the fifth largest mall in the country. It also show the location of the mall give chance to queens residents to shop easier without travelling far to the city, so they can find whatever they need in queens mall same like the city malls and stores .The boroughs largest shopping center which include some of the most popular shopping department stores such as macy's , jcpenny and sears earned $953 in sales of last year and it will definitely be a challenge for Roosevelt Field because its revenues goes high every year.

chspter 11&12:

in chapter 11&12 JACOBS talk about the need of concentration,This concentration includes visitors as well as residents. High ppulation densities in residential areas realy in need for this concentration it is very important for those places and high population density is not the same thing as overcrowding.But Jacobs discusses neighborhoods in cities with comparable high population densities and that some are successful, such as greenwich Village and some are not, like Roxbury. Many city slum areas have low population densities Ex. Oakland, Cleveland, Detroit, and new york. Densities should be at a level that promotes divrsity.

after 1950

I chose to describe my house as one of the buildinds that was constructed after 1950.It is a standerd two floors small building, This building takes
two corners with two side walks, one side in woodhaven blvd and the other one in 63 ave. the entrance of the house located in 63 ave at
the middle of the house between two different doors, The left side dolce cafe's door and the right side doctors office door. The house paint in biege color which give it a nice view, The bulding have 2 apartments in front of each other in the second floor and each one has 2 bedrooms. The view from my apartment is realy nice view because it take two corners as you see in the pics. my apartment is the one above the cafe and the other apartment above th doctors office, my room have two windows and the other room have 3 windows (the one above the cafe), the dining room also have 2 windows next to my parentsroom and the kitchen has only one window.I realy hate this building because sience i moved to it and i ddidn't feel confortable at all day or night time ,because the doctors office is too noisy at thedat time and the cafe is noisy at the night time for no reason,every time ipass bu the cafe i find it empty no one in there, but only the waiter and the passboy waiting for some one to come in even to buy one cup of coffie for 1 dollar, they always try to keep on busy specially when the owner is in the store, the music is always loud, thats why i realy suffer to get a few hours to sleep during the day because of the music specially the weekends because they bring a singer how start singing from 8:00pm to 12pm after the mednight tring to attrackt any new coustmers, I can't relax in this house there is no way.
