**Q2:** I live in Pomona, California. Pomona isn't the nicest or most attractive city around, therefore the affordability here is very high. The main reason is dwell here is because almost everything around here is cheaper than in surrounding cities. Access to education is good as well. Several high schools and elementary schools available. My university, California Polytechnic State University of Pomona is located 10 min away. The easy access to friends and family is a factor that contributes to where is reside as well. The Environment, and Recreation Possibilities take part too. My family is big on sports and any type of physical exercise. There are several organizations that offer people ranging from all sorts of ages even well into adult hood. ![enter image description here][1] **Q3:** 1. Job Opportunities - 70 2. Safety- 30 3. Education - 90 4. transportation - 60 5. Housing - 80 OVERALL LIVABILITY: 66 The City of Pomona is ideal in all my Livability criteria except for safety. The safety in this city is low because the the prices of housing is cheap therefore the type of people who come to live here are big families predominately Hispanic and Black. Pomona is a fairly Large city, therefore police enforcement is scarce. Crime rate is slightly higher than other cities so Police help for menial things that you would normally get in other cities, you don't get here. ![enter image description here][2] **Q4:** The first measure I would take to increase Livability is the appearance and first impressions people get when they travel through the city. I would put up more better quality street lamps up.i would enforce more cleansing of exterior buildings for all business. So as people drive or walk around they don't develop a repelling attitude. People would feel content instead of uncomfortable living here. **Q5:** 1. *New York City, New York*: Recent historic background that had a pivotal effect on our nation, Attractiveness, Job opportunities, Infrastructure, and Economy 2. *Paris, France*: Culture, International Connectivity, Infrastructure, Housing, and Environment 3. *Rome, Italy*: Historic Background, Culture, International connectivity, Infrastructure, and Housing [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14446837458689309.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1444683812675273.jpg
