    "I love living in DTLB. I like that everything is a short walk away, plenty of places to eat, things to do, events, and the beach is right there! Most places/restaurants are dog friendly. The downsides for me would definitely be lack of parking in most areas and the unhoused/transient folks sometimes is out of control in some parts. But those things are expected in the downtown area.

    "it use to be safe and fun with the seasonal events happening. In 2022, petty crime and random shooting (no hit) and the rise of high crime, businesses having their doors/windows smashed, is sad. I'm glad to finally leave in July."

    "There is an Art Walk every second Sunday. I live in the Art district so there are paintings displayed everywhere. A lot of restaurants and a walk to the grocery store. Unique small businesses. I am 4 blocks away from the beach, pike outlet, Long Beach convention center, and shoreline village. A lot of tourists in the area. The train is a block away. "

    "Nothing. No one goes outside. Too boring. Neighbors either smoke or drink. All the parks are filled with dirty people and homeless and or just feels dirty. We stay inside. Watch tv. Or travel all the way to San Diego just to do something fun. Kdb is gone and so is Walmart. I’m moving out of California this time next year. Already secured location. "
