    "At this point, nothing! It used to be perfect here. Now there are WAY too many people making it hard to park even with parking lots/garages. Housing prices are sky high making it nearly impossible for a single income person like myself to find a decent apartment to rent. Forget about ever being able to buy a home here. I love living here but I will eventually be priced out and will have to move somewhere less desirable but more affordable. "
