Greenbelt Maryland. Or, how America almost solved housing only to abandon it.

**I AM NOT AN EXPERT! I AM JUST AN ENTHUSIST! DO NOT TREAT MY OPINIONS/SPECULATION AS EDUCATION!**

During the Depression America faced a housing crisis that rhymes with but differs from our own. It’s different in that there wasn’t a supply issue, there were loads of houses in very desirable areas, but they were still unaffordable as people’s incomes collapsed causing a deflationary spiral. While the housing supply subtly grew and succeeded demand, people simply couldn’t pay the meager rents and mortgages. Herbert Hoover failed to manage the Depression, while his inaction is greatly exaggerated, his policy of boosting the economy with works projects and protecting banks from runs failed and the depression only got more pronounced in his term. In comes Franklin Roosevelt, a progressive liberal much like his distant and popular cousin/uncle-in-law Teddy. Franklin’s plan was to create a large safety net for people to be able to be economically viable even if they’re otherwise poor. These reforms are called the New Deal and they did many controversial things like giving disabled and retired people welfare, giving farmers conditioned subsidies to manipulate the price of food, a works program to build/rebuild vital infrastructure, etc. One of these programs was the USHA (a predecessor of America’s HUD), an agency created to build and maintain public housing projects with the goal of creating neighborhoods with artificially affordable rents so people who work low-wage jobs or rely on welfare can be housed.

In this spirit, the agency started experimenting with new and hopefully efficient housing blueprints and layouts. If you ever see very large apartment towers or antiquated brick low-rise townhouses in America, they might be these. The USHA bought land in many large and medium-sized cities to build “house-in-park” style apartments, which is what they sound like. Putting apartment buildings inside green spaces so residents can be surrounded by greenery and ideally peacefully coexist. Three entire towns were built with these ideas outside three medium-sized cities that were hit hard by the depression; Greenbelt outside DC, Greenhills outside Cincinnati, and Greendale outside Milwaukee. The idea was to move people out of these crowded cities into these more sustainable and idyllic towns. There were many catches though, the USHA planned for these towns to be all-white, they used to inspect the houses for cleanliness, they required residents to be employed or on Social Security (which basically meant retired or disabled), they also had an income limit and if your income exceeded that limit you were given a two-month eviction notice, and you were expected to attend town meetings at least monthly. While the towns didn’t have religious requirements they did only build protestant churches. Which is an example of discrimination by omission. While a Catholic, Jew, Muslim, etc could in theory move into town they also couldn’t go to a Catholic church, synagogue, or Islamic center without having to extensively travel. Things planned communities leave out might indicate what kind of people planned communities want to leave out. Basically, the whole thing was an experiment in moving Americans into small direct-democracy suburbs as opposed to the then-current system of crowded cities and isolated farm/mine towns. This type of design wasn’t without precedent, there were famously company towns like Gary and Pullman which both existed outside Chicago. But those lacked the autonomy and democracy some USHA apparatchiks desired.

The green cities were a series of low-rise apartments housing over a hundred people each, they were short walks from a parking lot and roads, and walking paths directly and conveniently led residents to the town center which had amenities and a shopping district. Greenbelt in particular is famous for its art deco shopping complex, basically an early mall where business owners would open stores for the townspeople. These businesses were stuck being small, given the income requirements, but it was encouraged for locals to open a business to prove their entrepreneurial spirit. Because city affairs were elected at town meetings the city was able to pull resources to eventually build their own amenities the USHA didn’t originally plan for like a public swimming pool or better negotiated garbage collection.

These three cities were regarded as a success by the USHA until World War II happened and suddenly they showed flaws given the shift in focus. These towns housed poor people who barely if at all could afford a car, so semi-isolated towns outside the city became redundant and pointless. The USHA also had to keep raising the income requirement since the war saw a spike in well-paying jobs which made the town unsustainable otherwise. During the war and subsequent welfare programs to help veterans, these green cities became de facto retirement and single-mother communities for a few years as most able-bodied men were drafted or volunteered. Eventually, the USDA would make the towns independent, after the war they raised the income limit yet again and slowly the towns repopulated. As cars became more common and suburbanization became a wider trend these towns would be less noticeably burdensome and were eventually interpreted as just three out of hundreds of small suburban towns that grew out of major cities. They were still all-white and the town maintained cleanliness requirements; after all they lived in apartments it just takes one guy’s stink-ass clogged toilet to ruin everyone’s day.

By the 1950’s these towns were fully independent. Greendale and Greenhills voted to privatize their homes and get rid of the income limit all together so the towns can become more normal. Greenhills, Ohio still has many of these USHA-era houses and apartments, all owned by a series of corporations and private owners. Greendale, Wisconsin property owners have demolished most of these old houses and restructured their town government so most traces of its founding are lost. But Greenbelt, Maryland still maintains a lot of its structure to this day. Greenbelt has privatized some land and buildings, but most of the original USHA apartments are owned by the Greenbelt Homes, Inc cooperative which gives residents co-ownership of the building they live in and their payments mostly go to maintenance. Because Greenbelt was collectively owned the House Un-American Activities Committee would blacklist and put on trial most of Greenbelt’s residents and officials. Though they didn’t find much evidence of communist influence, the town was a target of the red scare by the DMV area, residents were discriminated, blacklisted, and pressured into selling their assets. While Greenbelt did commodify some of the town, the still existing co-ownership shows the town’s democratic initiative to maintain its heritage. The green cities desegregated in the 50’s and 60’s depending on state law, Greenbelt was the last to desegregate under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, while discrimination persisted for years by the 1980’s the town would become half non-white, today the town is 47% black and 10% Asian.

Though these towns largely integrated with a privatized and suburbanized America, they do stand as a memorial to an idea of American urbanism that died. They were designed for walkability and were planned to be more democratic and egalitarian towns, with the conditions that came with segregation and government oversight. You can’t ignore the strict standards and racism in their history, but you can say that about many towns. How do you think America would be different if more cities had green suburbs that were more interconnected and designed for community gatherings?

Tung Lok Seafood From Singapore Opens Third Branch at Greenhills Mall

Tung Lok Seafood, a renowned destination for Singaporean-Chinese style seafood, has now opened their third branch at the new Greenhills Mall in San Juan City. This international franchise from Singapore has captured the hearts of Filipinos with their tantalizing array of dishes including award-winning classics such as Tung Lok's signature Chilli Crab. Now we have more locations to enjoy these all favorites.

You can find the newest branch of Tung Lok Seafood at the ground floor of the new Greenhills Mall. It was also our first time to visit this newly renovated area inside the Greenhills Shopping Center so everything really looks pristine.

The Tung Lok Group was established in 1984 by Mr. Andrew Tjioe and is the leading restaurant group in Singapore with over 30 restaurants across Asia. This popular restaurant made its way to the country courtesy of Eric Teng, who also owns and manages other local favorites such as Mango Tree, Genki Sushi, Kureji, Sen-Ryo, and Wong Place.

The Greenhills Mall branch is quite spacious, with a total seating capacity of 113 guests. The elegant interiors make it a great venue for celebrating special occasions with family and friends.

Aside from the main dining hall, it also has several private and semi-private dining rooms which can cater from 8 up to 40 guests when combined.

Tung Lok Seafood sets itself apart from the usual traditional Chinese restaurants by offering a mouthwatering range of traditional Chinese cuisine from Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Sichuan dishes with a dash of modern creations. Tung Lok 同乐 means being happy together, and true to form, Tung Lok has been a part of many happy occasions from birthdays to anniversaries and other celebrations.

I was happy to be reunited again with Gwen Jacinto who invited us to visit this new location together with a few of our friends.

We started by ordering a few of Tung Lok Seafood's refreshing Fresh Fruit Shakes and Juices like the Watermelon Shake (P250) and the Ripe Mango Shake (P250). I went for their Coconut Shake (P250) which you can also order fresh from the coconut shell.

We were presented with some of Tung Lok Seafood's signature dishes. It had been a while since I last dined at Tung Lok so I was excited to see these Cantonese favorites.

One of the must-try dishes at Tung Lok Seafood is the Crispy Fish Skin with Salted Egg (P490). Do you know that it was the Tung Lok Group which started selling the Crispy Fish Skin in their restaurants even before Irvin's made it a global snack? These fish skins are unbelievably crispy while bursting with salted egg flavors. I really love every bite of this, especially since it is served fresh and hot off the fryers, unlike that of Irvin’s which has already been sealed inside their packages for a long time.

I love eating prawn salads so the Wasabi Mayo Prawns (P750) was also on my radar. These plump pieces of coated prawns are deep fried then combined with Tung Lok’s signature wasabi mayo sauce. It’s quite different from the usual prawn salads I have tasted, with the wasabi mayo giving it a distinct flavor.

Instead of the usual Yang Chow fried rice, we had the Black Garlic Fried Rice (Medium-P550). This is a deep garlicky fried rice which really goes well with all the other dishes.

We also tried the Fried Mee Sua with Seafood (P780). Everything served at Tung Lok comes with so much flavors including their noodles. This can be an entire meal on its own but we have plenty more exciting dishes to come.

One of the highlights of our lunch was the Collagen Fish Soup (P3200). I know about the benefits of adding collagen to our diets, especially for the skin, so we were really looking forward to this.

The whole grouper is cooked in a collagen-rich broth and then served to us individually on our soup bowls. The soup was really thick and comforting, much like eating a rich bowl of ramen. I really loved this dish.

We also had the Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with Bean Curd (P700). This goes so well with the black garlic fried rice and the beef was really tender.

Finally, the Tung Lok Signature Chili Crab (market price) is a Singaporean specialty that is also a favorite here in the country. The crab is big and meaty, so you will need to get your hands messy for this one. The sauce comes with a spicy kick, so it’s good to have it with some rice. The Chili Crab is also served with a side of fried and soft mantou breads.

For our desserts, Tung Lok Seafood brought out its very pretty Taro Puree with Ice Cream (P280). It comes with real chunks of taro so it is quite filling for a dessert. On the other hand, you can also order the Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo (P250) if you want something more familiar.

We would like to thank Gwen Jacinto and the staff of Tung Lok Seafood for hosting our exquisite seafood lunch. Tung Lok Seafood has always been known for their premium and delicious seafood offerings so this new branch in Greenhills is perfect for this location's discerning crowd.

FLASH REPORT THIS MORNING: 'Abenson' Appliance Flagship Superstore opens in Dumaguete City by June 2024 [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer, Online Media Reporter and Presenter of OneNETnews)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- The newest flagship in-store and e-commerce appliance superstore in the Philippines will soon rise in a few weeks by June next month as 'Abenson' is now available to serve you in the City of Gentle People of Dumaguete.

This was after one grand champion of 'Tawag ng Tanghalan' sa "It's Showtime" Season 2 named Mr. Kim Aniñon Hewitt in Valencia town (a Dumaguete representative singer from a local elementary student of 'Dumaguete Agape Chinese Christian School' [DACCA]), which already endorsed to ABS-CBN (now known as DWWX-TV 2's Kapamilya Channel) via "It's Showtime" studio in Quezon City, Metro Manila; in receiving learning and home showcase from this said online e-commerce and in-person Appliance Superstore worth PHP300,000 (or nearly U$D5,158) and a grand prize of PHP500,000 (or nearly U$D8,600) for 1st Place. Overall with a grand total of PHP800,000 (or nearly U$D13,760).

In an exclusive local radio ad of 96.7mhz DYEM-FM: Bai Radio (part of Negros Broadcasting and Publishing Corporation, which owns the local newspaper outlet of 'Negros Chronicle' by Ely P. Dejaresco) in Cebuano dialect, they are announcing that the newest in-store and e-commerce appliance superstore opens on Thursday (June 6th, 2024 -- Dumaguete local time). Expectations for technology and appliance consumers are taking part of it on time for the opening day.

For those you don't know that no one was talking about for Dumagueteños and Negrosanons… Abenson is a well-known e-commerce and physical appliance superstore that offers a wide range of products including appliances, computers, laptops and gadgets. They provide customers for Filipinos with the option to purchase items both online and right here in-store in Dumaguete City, with flexible payment options such as monthly installments like Home Credit and other partnered banks.

Abenson was founded in 1970 (two years before the nationwide Martial Law in our country under the old administration of the late-Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos Sr.) as the first retail outlet opened at the Greenhills Shopping Center in Northwestern Street, San Juan City, Metro Manila, National Capital Region. The company has grown significantly since then and now has a network of over 140 stores across this said country.

Wilson Lim, who is a main founder of Abenson Group of Companies (AGC) that the Abenson superstore is a big success for home appliance and technology products for those looking and willing to purchase the abovementioned products for home or business use, and the commitment to providing quality-wise products, excellent customer service and competitive pricing that has made it a popular choice for us consumers in the Philippines. Not only that, AGC expands with the affiliates and subsidiaries like Electroworld, Avant, WalterMart and among others.

But this morning in the E-Mail correspondence, we have made contact with OneNETnews to request a comment regarding the latest endorsement of Abenson for their achievement in the learning and home showcase in Manila to congratulate 'Kim Aniñon Hewitt', and also invite consumers to explore the newly-opened appliance superstore on June 6th.

Here in Dumaguete today and everyone else if you wanna go in-store shopping, Abenson has its own physical stores in your neighborhood where customers can view products firsthand and make purchases directly. While if you prefer to go virtual at the comfort of your own home, customers can shop online through the Abenson website, where they can easily browse and purchase a variety of electronic devices and home appliances.

Last but not least, for the low to medium-income brackets, such as us freelancing for Media and Journalism or working for Qualfon as a call center… Abenson offers 'Shop Now Pay Later' (SNPL) programme that allows customers to purchase products and pay for them over time with zero-percent (0%) interest installment plans. For the metaphor of context, it's like you're eating a portion of sliced bread to avail the installment plans for a wide range of products, from smartphones and laptops to large home appliances like Vivo, Oppo, Acer, Asus, LG, Samsung and more.

This SNPL program is available for various terms, such as 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, depending on the bank's approval, credit institutions' approval like Home Credit, and the customer's credit card cut-off dates like Mastercard and Visa under BancNet. Some of the participating banks include Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI), Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), UnionBank of the Philippines (UBP) and others, each offering different terms for installment payments.

Whether you prefer to shop online or visiting one of their many physical stores, including right here in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental; Abenson is the new place to go with a lot of options of your needs of kitchen & home appliances, computers, laptops and entertainment systems.

Once again, Abenson officially opens to serve you locally on June 6th. The Philippines #1 household appliance superstore.

Are you having issues with your #iPhone15 models? 📲

iPhone 15 series was launched less than 2 weeks ago. They are now available in Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan but not yet available online.

There are already some early adopters in the social media complaining about overheating and throttling issues causing lags (to be fixed via #iOS software update), charging with USB-C power banks issues, in-car wireless charging pads (CarPlay issue), battery drain, battery swelling, breaks easily (#iPhone15ProMax), fingerprint-attracting titanium chassis, and crackling sound with built-in speakers.

Behold, my humble haul from last weekend’s One Stop Record Fair at Greenhills Shopping Center. 

My brother and I chanced upon the event on our way to Shoppesville Plus for some toy shopping (or, in my case, gawking), so I wasn’t really expecting expenditure. Still, such was my weakness for physical music that I allowed this veritable Dracula to suck the life out of my wallet. But at least the purchase has led to some pleasurable hours after work this week.
