    "I've lived in Neartown-Montrose for over 20 yrs and I can't imagine living anywhere else in the city. Everything I need is within a 1 to 2 mile radius which makes it super convenient run errands. I see the same familiar faces daily which I feel makes it a bit more safer. It's super quiet at night too."

    "Uber is expensive. Use bikes or pub trans. I don’t live here so I don’t have too much to say about public transportation. I was only here for about three days in which I used Uber the whole time and it got extremely pricey. I think if there was those scooters that are around the street I would have totally used them. But they were not accessible I haven’t seen any."
