Cully, Portland: Green Infrastructure as an Antipoverty Strategy (Main…

- - - - I always imagine how the org. or such would try so hard to reach out the residents to work together on something that the org. proposed while the residents are there to give heir opinions and show somewhat support on the proposal
    - - I'm not surprised to the technique of providing job training but more amazed on leadership development because usually orgs. like Living Cully would provide something like awareness info session to the communities to be aware of something instead. I really think trying to give the power to people to make them allow to make the changes themselves is a fantastic idea
    - - That's not surprised, I also think that areas with nicer street has strict rules or has much more stronger polivy enforcement which differs from the "nicer" neighborhood and other such as House Owner Association, it makes sense if a person from HOA comes visit nicer street to make sure everyone is following their guidelines instead of going into a ghetto or streets that doesn't even have sidewalk
      - "Rain gardens and other green infrastructure elements often appeal to more affluent, white investors. They can cause real estate values to rise, which often results in involuntary displacement."
        
        I never thought of that but it makes alot of sense, I guess there may be a thing as improving "too much" or else you will be doing more damage than you're helping
  - - - Are there techniques that we can take now to prevent what Cully were facing before State College becomes too urbanized?
  - - - Did a light research and reading on this Photovoice, found a website dedicated to this (https://photovoice.org/) I mean people do say that a picture can have a thousands word also found a website that focuses on the specific technique of this tool (http://designresearchtechniques.com/casestudies/photovoice/)
        
        You know, this is basically those pictures that you see in the commercial of Red Cross or orgs. that helps the unfortunate kids and have sad songs played in the background to make the viewers to actually feel bad an makes themselves feel that they need to actually do something
        
        South Park, a cartoon comey tv show, had made a scene out of this, where the protagonists watched the commercial for abandoned baby and despite that the protagonists doesn't really care about the cause but the commercial have made him volunteer otherwise
  - - - This method may truly give community members voice instead of having a voice from expert through community member which could have a difficult transitioning or actually saying what the residents want to say
    - - "For this group, the fundamental moral argument that unequal representation results in social injustice outcomes will be most compelling to incite change."
      - Instead of force teaching community members on issues that orgs. usually works on, Living Cully prefers to have community members to identify any issues which hopes to have them reveal to an issues that would spark their personal interest which can leads to higher engagement o solving the issues
  - - - I feel like this is basically the mobile and a smaller version of Living Cully, and I think this is a great first step and would need to keep promoting this org and similar org. and just keep helping people who demands them
