    "Nothing everyone is always racing and fighting on my street this city needs more work and give more for people to do as a community. Parks are not as safe anymore. I feel like in order to be really safe you have to know the block and be living there for long enough for people to not mess with you."

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 10 years. This neighborhood has peaceful nights. During the morning you barely hear anyone they have all left early for work, those who are around are cleaning snow or mowing the lawn, depending the season, It has truly been the most amazing neighborhood I have had the privilege to live in."
