    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood my whole life and it’s home. So many places to go to everything is so conveniently located it can be loud at times but loud with music and people just being happy yes there is the occasional drunk but they don’t really bother. Sunset park is a fusion of many cultures and amazing foods. We are proud of our neighborhood sunset park."

    "Too much noise all around everywhere. Noisy neighbors inside and out of the buildings, drunk people often passed out on the street. People severely lacking civic pride for a neighborhood that has so much natural beauty and potential to be better"
