My community is centered around Union Square Park, which serves as an important communal resource. It is the location of a regular farmers' market and many other events that occur there, such as protests and gatherings, as well as have public services like playgrounds and green space. Parts of NYU and The New School are in my community. There are also a number of subway stations in my community, including the large 14 Street-Union Square station, the city's upkeep and development of which affects the area.
My community is in the center of Manhattan, but somewhat in between traditional neighborhoods, being south of Flatiron, east of Chelsea, and north of the West Village and East Village. We have our own unique cultural identity centered around Union Square Park and the many social and cultural happenings there throughout history.
My community is impacted by rising costs of living, which threatens to push many residents out or make residing here more economical challenging. The maintenance of the Union Square green space, valuable in a dense urban environment, is also important.
My community is often split up in redistricting, divided between congressional districts, state house and senate districts, and NYC city council and state assembly districts, which dilutes our interests.
