    "And over has a large percentage of the population that is well educated well employed and financially responsible. My neighborhood, in particular, is a cul-de-sac, off of a cul-de-sac, off of a cul-de-sac, neighboring Harold Parker forest. People will come and park at the edge of our neighborhood to walk their dogs. Everyone is courteous that there are children and drive slowly. Wide open streets with almost no traffic."
