    "Very high rental rates and inadequate housing to meet demands. Too little parking for the amount of vehicles, street are overloaded. Shopping very limited. Traffic is getting pretty heavy for a basically bedroom type of community. High gas prices. High schools over crowded. What is good? The weather! Everyone is here for the weather! AC not needed and very little heat needed in mild winter. "
