      "Where I live, the traffic is bad, the landlord is unbelievable and neighbors really don’t communicate. Then the 24-7 sound of police cars racing down the street and occasional gunfire at nite. Ambulance, fire trucks sirens all the time. However just 2 blocks there is a Park with weekend events, I wouldn’t walk over there,"
