    "Fresh Air from the Pacific Ocean, wide streets, trees, flowers and friendly neighbors. Closeness to all shops, restaurants and public transportation makes it easy to get around to shop. Cleanliness of neighborhood. There is city noise like occasional garbage trucks and ambulances during the day, but not in the evening or night. Safe. Sightings of occasional harmless homeless person might be disturbing to some."
