Blockbusting

Blockbusting Compare and Contrast Report One of the most silent and unspoken truths about society today is the issue of prejudice and all of its faces. Prejudice take on many different shapes, sizes and colors and is found to be one of the hardest topics to talk about. Because weather we want to admit it or not, we all are prejudice to some degree. The one thing that makes the human race unique is that we are all different, and it is these differences that cause people to act in negative ways against other people.

Now La Crosse seems to be a small town place but after thinking about how the city is divided up the answer was right in front of me. Most of the lower income housing is on the North and South side of Lacrosse. Now not all of the North or South of La Crosse is block-busted but areas like Jackson St. or upper south side residence is mostly lower income housing.
