    "Dog litters everywhere. Neighbors doesn’t respect others. They smoke cannabis inside home, knowing theres kkids and infant lives next door. It not safe to raise children. Not safe to live. Dirty city. Expensive utilities. Rent will raise every year. Appartments owner neglect tenants requests for their maintenance needs. Not safe walking at night because people are outside drinking and there is no time limit. Need a patrol at night. This city needs it mayor to be responsible for making this city safe. "

    "Schools are not the greatest, our local school just shut down. I really don’t know what is wrong with the school district but it seems like they don’t have it together. There isn’t a lot of good parks either. They are all out dated, we usually have to go out of town to find a nice park to play at. "
