    "I’ve lived here for 15 years . Schools are horrible people are not too nice but to themselves for the most part. Neighbors are not friendly. Place is semi racist. Everyone has a dog pretty much which is nice . Taxes are high for such crappy public schools. Roads and sidewalks are horrible. A lot of car theft for some reason. "
