    "My neighborhood has been ok but every once in a while people do stupid things. Cars get taken, windows get broken, people leave a mess in the streets, on the sidewalks. I only live here because it’s cheap and I been living here for 20 plus years otherwise I wouldn’t be in the area. It’s not the best for people. The school winter gardens is a shame. It’s loosing resources and the teachers have to pay out of pocket for items and supplies. It’s not all that good. If you can go somewhere else. Real talk, that’s all."

    "The dog owner would not like that neighbors loves to explore firecracker. The illegal kind during the night. The dog would not be ok with that kind of noise. In addition I don’t think some neighbors are too friendly. So if your dog loves to be without a leash and runs out of the house you might not find the dog again."
