    "If the county would do something with the area, it will be much more suitable area for anyone to live. I am not a poor person even though they classify as the poorest area in Los Angeles. But I can tell you. They could definitely do a better job. But the police don't do nothing. It's gonna take community standing up to have something done."

    "There's many people walking on the side walk at once and tgere isn't much space to walk a dog at a good distance from yourself. Also, several people tend to be scared of larger dogs here as they have children."

    "Pico Union is in a great location, close to Silverlake, DTLA, Koreatown, etc. It’s definitely growing and is one of the last areas in LA that won’t cost you an arm to rent. That being said, it’s not the safest neighborhood. I don’t like being out after dark. Parking sucks so find a building that has it. "
