Blog post #3: Davis subdivisions

(Before writing this post, be sure you’re caught up on the readings through Wednesday.)

1. Select one subdivision in Davis. (How are we defining "subdivision"? Several blocks of houses built at the same time on similar architectural plans. Downtown Davis, for example, is a neighborhood but not a subdivision.) For clarity, state which streets you believe constitute your subdivision’s edges.

2. Walk through the subdivision to get a sense of its character. What do you see? What do you not see that you might see in other neighborhoods?

3. What values, beliefs, and habits do you see expressed in the architecture and landscape of the subdivision? (Be specific about architectural and landscape features.) Do you see these values replicated in the activities (if any) of the people you see?

Now for the argument: In your opinion, does this subdivision improve upon or detract from Davis as a whole? Draw on at least two course texts in supporting your argument.
