    "There is no public transport besides one taxi service. No mobile commute options either. The only way to get around is by personal vehicle or by foot. It’s not the most conventual means of transport in a world full of Uber’s and Lyft’s. "

  • Lisa
    "While the neighborhood this home is in is fairly quiet, the whole town has been overrun with drugs, corruption and theft, leaving even decent areas with the question of when their neighborhood is next to go. That said, if enough decent people bought enough decent homes in Portsmouth, it could be revived...it would just take a while to rid it of the more undesirable elements."
