Regent Park News.

Regent Park has recently went through a Redevelopment faze in which the community's older buildings and homes have been demolished to make way for condos, which in turn forced may people out of their homes, and made them find somewhere else to live. The main problem with this is that many different people have had to give up their homes because of the Government, they have to start a new life for no reason at all. All for the reason to mix both poor and rich citizens into the same community, this idea in principal is a great one but it is still up in the air if it is going to work, hopefully for everyone's sake this redevelopment is successful.

Problems in Regent Park.

Regent Park is a housing project for members of the city who are in poverty; the people who live in Regent Park are mostly young people. Regent park has also been in the media over the years for crime related issues, and violence. The citizens of the area have always maintained that the area is still a great place to live and raise children no matter what the media says. The problems sounding Regent Park have always been dealt with by the community and will continue to be dealt with by the community. Living in Regent Park i can say that in my experiences that the neighbourhood is not as bad as the media makes it out to be.
