    "Everyone keeps to themselves. But if you are walking your dog, other people will smile and say hello. There are a lot of coyotes in the area because of the Aliso Creek so be careful. Police are nearby and they are responsive. More homeless vehicles are popping up, but those camping in front of businesses are removed quickly. Overall, very safe and clean. "
