    "Everyone is usually very dog friendly to your dog. However, there are not many places to take them potty if you don’t have your own grass/yard. Sometimes people complain about dogs going potty on the beach. Some owners let their dogs just go on the sidewalk. Overall, everyone is pretty good, I’ve just naturally had some interactions over the 7 years here. "
