"Hate the neighborhood where I’m currently living. So thankful to god for helping me buy a new home and finally leave El Monte. I have lived here my whole life and it has been a horrible experience. Crack heads everywhere at night, no common decency with neighbors. Can’t walk around at night and feel comfortable just so thankful I’m moving."

"None. El monte is the worst city ever. I would not recommend this city as a home to anyone. There are drug addicts on every corner, soliciters, loiters, people sleeping on private parking lots. I dont even walk the street because i feel its dangerous. "
