    I found this pretty interesting suburban simulator. Where you add buildings and people then click the run button and it simulates outward expansion further and further away from the center city. As people move away the city is the abandoned and filled with "gangsters" that shoot people to represent crime. Tress are replaced with houses and so on so forth.

    This is an article about squatters in England, taking over uninhabited houses. England is one of the few countries that has "squatters rights", and an agency called Advisory Service for Squatters (ASS) exists to help squatters find empty homes. It also helps them find legal loopholes so the squatters can continue to live in the houses, much to the frustration of the house's owners.

    I found this website to really relate to what we are learning about with Suburbs. It gives an awesome interactive view of how the three types of communities are and how they are connected even though they have their own features since people need to travel in between them to get to things and places they need.
