    "Everyone minds their own business. Kids do play together in the neighborhood. Outside the gates community cars do get broken into. Hemet has a homeless problem and drug addiction problem. The city is out growing its small city infrastructure. Making traffic horrific. Enormous warehouses being built inside the city, will create local jobs! Overall, one of last affordable housing markets. With large homes ranging in the 500k "
