    "Lived here nearly 20 years. Ready to sell or rent and move on. For a city neighborhood, it is safe. For a city neighborhood. Easy access to public transportation, biking is ok most of year. Parking has become contentious in past few years. The diversity that made neighborhood vibrant and interesting is fading as rents go up and long-time families and unique businesses are pushed out. Too many shoddy renovations/rehabs and 'luxury' multi-units going up that will become slummy in about 10 years."
