    "Schools need a lot of work all around. Taxes and water bills are excessively high. City main roads are not properly maintained. We have beautiful parks and bikepath, however they feel unsafe due to homeless bussing in to collect free hand outs and hanging around. I will not let my children walk to the store or parks alone."
