    "Ok. Thereโ€™s sometimes too much traffic but, I guess thatโ€™s normal. Some traffic lights could be synced better. And they need to do something about the potholes in some of the central downtown area of Indianapolis. More turn signals could be added to some of these lights as well may I add. Other than that it really just depends on where you stay on how you feel how the area is. I canโ€™t complain. Indianapolis is an amazing place to raise a beautiful family as well as go to school. Great learning opportunities and the nightlife is cool. It can get violet sometimes, especially with the youth right now, but I truly believe that Indianapolis can get better. Itโ€™s up to the elders, middle aged, and adults to come together to help our community come back togethers as one. It definitely takes a village for our youth so we might as well come back together as a village to finish helping grow our youth and younger generation into the smart people they can be."
