Enhancing the amenities of a city is crucial to the long-term survival of any community.
All people seek to live in an environment that offers a comfortable living.
Today's world is more transient, with more options, than at any time in our history. Middle-class Americans can, with relative ease, decide when and where they want to live, work and raise a family. This freedom of movement has created new challenges and opportunities for American cities. Today's laborers, whether they be highly paid professionals or hourly workers, are attracted to cities based upon the availability of jobs and their perception of the community - not necessarily in that order. Perception is a key motivator of why people move to a particular community.
