django, cannot access 2nd app (new dir) index page - django

Question

I am hitting a conflict with a prior configuration and not sure how to get around the error.
error:
Exception Value: module 'userarea.views' has no attribute 'home_view'
from project urls.py:
$ cat exchange/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from pages.views import home_view, contact_view, about_view, user_view
#from products.views import product_detail_view
from userdash.views import userdash_detail_view, userdash_create_view
from django.conf.urls import include
from django.urls import path
from register import views as v
from pages import views
from userarea import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home_view, name='home'),
path('', include("django.contrib.auth.urls")),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path("register/", v.register, name="register"),
path('userdash/', userdash_detail_view),
path('contact/', contact_view),
path('', include("userarea.urls")),
path('create/', userdash_create_view),
path('about/', about_view),
path('user/', user_view),
]
I either get this error or problem with it trying to access my default.
But unable to find a work around.
from app views.py
$ cat userarea/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.
def uindex(response):
return HttpResponse("<h1>New user dashboard area</h1>")
app urls.py:
$ cat userarea/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path("uindex/", views.uindex, name="user index"),
]
How do I get my new/2nd project to not conflict with my previous app and load it's own index page in it's directory?
full debug error:

Note updated urlpatterns twice and errors
new update:
This is what it appears to be calling, but I can't figure out how to differentiate between the two calls.
$ cat pages/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.
def home_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
return render(request, "home.html",{})
def contact_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
return render(request, "contact.html",{})
def about_view(*args, **kwargs):
return HttpResponse('<h1>About Page</h1>')
def user_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
my_context = {
"my_text": "This is my context",
"my_number": "123",
"my_list": [1121, 1212, 3423, "abc"]
}
print(args, kwargs)
print(request.user)
return render(request, "user.html", my_context)
Big UPDATE (changes made above also):
I create a brand spanking new project and used the exact same configuration and it works find.
(Env) piggy#tuna:~/www/src/exchange2 $ cat userdash/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path("", views.index, name="index"),
path("userdash/", views.userdash, name="user dash"),
]
(Env) piggy#tuna:~/www/src/exchange2 $ cat exchange2/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include("userdash.urls")),
]
(Env) piggy#tuna:~/www/src/exchange2 $ cat userdash/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.
def index(response):
return HttpResponse("<h1>Hello World!</h1>")
def userdash(response):
return HttpResponse("<h1>User Dashboard!</h1>")
why does my include() method of creating directories want to conflict with a standard path()?

.
from userarea import views as userarea_views
the key was
userarea_views
