    "It’s miserable. The traffic around town has tripled in the last few years. I don’t know how they think all the people in the houses they are building are going to get around but we can’t have any more cars on our roads; they just weren’t designed for this many people"

    "It’s a bit pricey. Also, if you a looking to rent, and have a large dog over 25 lbs., it is doubly hard to fine anything other than an apartment. And open space is a premium in taking care of the dogs needs."
