    "They would not like the lack of safe spaces to walk your dog. Meaning that the areas that you can walk are not well lit and not well maintained, and then the dog owners usually will not have their own dogs leashed"

Overall my neighborhood is pretty quiet, neighbors aren’t overly friendly but we speak and for the most part keep to ourselves. While there are quite a few dog owners, doggos aren’t noisy nuisances."

I wish there were more stop signs though or a speed limit when in the neighborhoods or any sign that reads " kids at play" because we live on a busy street and there are alot of kids playing outside and there are too many fast drivers "
