    "Lots of my neighbors have dogs. My whole block is millennial first time home buyers who have a dog or a cat. We often help each other with our pets"
  • BlackIrish
    "Too much petty crime, the last year or so has been trending more and more towards more violent incidents. Anyone trying to earn and save to get out of here likely gets robbed and winds up having to live here in this stupid cycle a little longer. Best to just avoid it all together if you’re looking at property here. "
