No Place Like Home

In this story the author talks about how he went to visit a corporate master-planned community called Green Valley. In this community, everything is the same, they are all built by the corporates to look alike. the houses are identical, and to me, the way he is describing it seems like a fake world like the Truman Show. A "city" like this is run by the corporation, and has rules, and certain things everyone has to follow. He had went to Green Valley to see how the people acted and felt living in a corporate designed and run community.

My neighborhood is a lot different from a corporate neighborhood. I was in a nice little neighborhood in Antioch, Tennessee. Everyone was friendly and were friends with each other. All of the kids in the neighborhood would play in the streets during the summer days because we lived on a dead end. All of the houses we different and because of the hills, it would be almost impossible to be the same. There are no rules that everyone has to follow, so that is different from the story, but we did have a neighborhood watch at one time to walk around the neighborhood to make sure it was safe. I still live at this house and for a while when people moved out, the neighborhood was not as friendly as it used to be, but now more people have moved in and we are back to a little neighborhood.
