    "Not a place for people without a car if you have children. No daycare buses to pick up your children, public transportation only stops at certain stops (it’s not a push stop thing like other places), and it’s difficult to get a taxi, Uber, or Lyft. They do have CAP that helps the underprivileged with food, rent, & utilities but don’t move here without a car!"
