    "Brighton is such an amazing city to live in. There’s so many sides that people never see. You can venture downtown and have coffee, drinks, great food. You can go for a walk, cross bridges and get ice cream. You have city life, and solitary life all in one city. And the people of Brighton, absolutely love the attitude and vibes. "

    "I live in a lake neighborhood. It’s tight lots with tall houses. The insides are nice, really beautiful, unique homes. The people are eccentric but extremely pleasant, nice people. I’m about to move out of my rental home but I’ve lived here for over a year now and my bike has been unlocked out back under auning since I moved in. No crime in Brighton, Mi."
