There can be many factors limiting diversity in a city, such as high economic standards and social problems. This would be the case of the town of Franklin Square. It is a small town with around 24,012 people located in Nassau County, Long Island. Most of the population in this town is Italian or with Italian background causing many, if not all, of its businesses to be part of their culture. We know that a city to be successful needs diversity as Jane Jacobs mentioned in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. So in this paper I will discuss how high real estate prices, racism and poor public transportation are the main causes of lack of diversity in Franklin Square.
