Interesting Stats: Males opinions Vs. Females

I read an article in the New York Times the other day about males Vs. females views on development in the community. It said during hard economic times, men favor more than women the construction of new projects in the hopes that it will help the economy flourish in some way. It stated that apartments and condos were the only development favored by women. I feel as if men favor this happening in the community more because more men work as construction workers and so on. Gas drilling, power plant work, etc. are seen as lines of work for more commonly men. It says something along the lines of women care more about the well being of the community and taking care of things the way they currently are. Women dislike the building of new developments closer to their homes than men do. I feel as if these trends are linked to gender roles. I think women feel as if they need to be more concerned about their homes and the safety of the children. Men are more focused on say their work and making money. I did think the article’s statistics were quite interesting. Check it out here.
