    "Dogs seem to be welcomed. But many dog OWNERS do not pick up after their dogs. This makes our neighborhood dirty. It also makes walks less enjoyable for everyone. It also opens up the chances to spread disease to other dogs. "

    "The neighborhood has nice pockets and a lot of sketchy areas. It could be nice but a lot of transient criminal types wander through and some properties are not well-kept. Vacant lots are not maintained and the city doesn’t take good care of the landscaping in the streets. "
