6) According to Kunstler, neighborhood frontier is a community that has residential houses, work place, grocery store, coffee shops, and parks. It is a small community that replaces the "city" industry, because running a local business or working in their own neighborhood can save money in transportation. Decreasing the amount of automobiles on the road to have less pollution.People living in that particular neighborhood can have the option to not commute to go to work, because some job opportunities are available in these neighborhood frontiers. I believe, that springville, Staten Island is one of the neighborhood frontier in NYC. Staten Island have many open spaces and throughout the years people began to build houses and stores to make good use of the open spaces. Springville, Staten Island is a neighborhood frontiers, because there is a shopping mall in springville and it is convenient for the local people to get their shopping done and even get a job in the shopping mall. People that work in their neighborhood can save money from transportation. Opening stores in Springville, give the local people the option to no longer drive or take the MTA to the city because everything can be purchased in springville.Therefore, people living in springville have a choice to either work in the city or work in their neighborhood, because neighborhood frontiers is about staying in their neighborhood.
