My town

The place where I live now is splendid. I moved here two years ago. Before I moved here, I lived in Chigasaki, a town on the coast. I had a great view from my apartment, so I hesitated a little to move. But now I am really satisfied with my town because there are a lot of beautiful parks around here and I have a splendid view of the mountains, including Mt. Fuji, instead of the sea.
Now I'm reading a book about the history of my town. I've learned about the architecture as it is for my homework at the college. Then I became to know our town's big history. My town was one of the biggest new towns in Japan. It was called "a gigantic experimental town". When they developed this area, they removed all of the farms and built houses and commercial buildings. Now my town is very beautiful because of the city planning but I knew that this town was built on a severe conflict between the farms and the administration. Now I am deeply impressed with the history.
