    "My wife and I bought our house on Dunlap St not too long ago. Ever since we bought it, our neighbors have been trying to intimidate us into cutting all of our trees down. Since we refuse to do this, we have to deal with trash, toys and other debris showing up on our lawn. Our friends up the street are having similar problems with their neighbors. It's too bad, really. In general, it's a very nice street. It's the people who make you regret moving here. Beside the neighbor problem, you have people using this small extension street as a dragstrip just because it's wider than most of the other streets, and they get mad if you ask them to slow down. I wouldn't recommend this street for children or pets."
