USIS Washington File: TRANSCRIPT: PENTAGON SPOKESMAN'S REGULAR THURSDAY BRIEFING
A: This is something that has obviously been a long term problem. It hasn't happened in the last year or even the last five years. In the past, base commanders have frequently, in allocating their resources, put money into other areas than housing. Starting several years ago, Secretary Perry decided this was a mistake, that it was going to make it more difficult to retain highly trained people in the military; that quality of life was a very important consideration as to whether people extend for another term or more, and he set out aggressively to improve quality of life, and housing was one of the main tasks he undertook. ...

US Department Of State Post Report
The modern skyline now includes a number of multistory buildings that contrast sharply with the flat, rocky plains surrounding the city. Streets in the old section of the city are narrow and congested, but a system of wide, high-speed parkways links the newer, suburban areas. Several large, Western-style shopping malls have been built, but these co-exist with more traditional souqs and small vendors. Very few open spaces are found in the city center, but a 7 kilometer-long park system along the waterfront Corniche offers agreeable vistas and a place to walk or jog and is a popular gathering spot in the cooler months. In addition, a limited number of public parks and museums are located around the city, including the attractive Doha Zoo, the National Museum, Doha Fort, Khulaifat Park, Muntaza Park, the Airport Park, and Aladdin's Kingdom, a Western-style amusement park. ...
