    "Homes with loose off-leash dogs are the only real issue. I have 4 dogs. This is a neighborhood of houses with yards, so fenced backyards seem standard. There are dog-friendlier neighborhoods, but this isn’t bad. "

    "Depending on the street, traffic gets congested at some points. There are a lot of schools in my area so that’s also a key factor in planning for your commute as well. Lastly I’d also like to point out that Carson street has only two lanes and when a bus pulls over it often cause a lot of congestion. "
