    "I've lived in this neighborhood over5 years and don't know my neighbors names. Most of them don't even speak. A few of them do wave to me when I wave and say hello to them. so I stay inside when I'm not going out. There are a lot of big buildings or companies around here.B ig trucks delivering products are always around here blocking my driveway. I just don't think it is a good neighborhood, especially to raise kids. "
