    "Very expensive place to live. Lake access is only for the ultra rich. The city leaders do not understand what adult recreation is and do not allow people to access the beach. There is no childcare for parents as well without having to pay thousands of dollars per month to send them to the YMCA. "

Summer time is nice, however, on Saturday nights if the breeze is blowing in the right direction, you’ll think the dirt race track was either right outside your front or back door depending which side of the street you live on.
