    "Dangerous environment dogs off leash. Crime and it’s very dirty. If you live in an apartment complex that has a dog park you will be okay. "

    "There are a lot of trails and dog parks. People all have dogs and clean up after them . Lady bird lake is close by and people love to take the dogs swimming from the open spots and go canoeing with their dogs. Also a lot of swimming spots in Austin. I think it’s like having a child in Austin. A dog socializes people and brings them together. People are very friendly "

    "Closer to Town Lake. Rasy access to public transportation. A LOT of homeless people camped out right on sidewalks and public spaces. Police can't even make them move. Needles and paraphernalia litter public spaces. This is a problem all of Austin is dealing and getting worse since July 1st, 2019. Not safe. "

    "Lots of dogs around here especially by the river. There a few a handful of nearby parks. There are even some unfenced areas where the community has welcomed off leash dogs. When I lived here it was more friendly than not, which is awesome, but definitely can change. "
