    "I lived in this neighborhood for 2 years and it's very family oriented. The Mexican party experience is great! we love the music. The only negative aspect to this neighborhood is the amount of trash thrown on the ground in public areas."

    "People are always walking their dogs in this area, and is a really good community. Able to walk to close by a grocery stores and other shopping centers, most allow dogs also. Nice parks where your dogs can play and run around, nearby parks where kids also play so you can do both at once . Some owners may not like some of the stray dogs that roam around"

    "This is an awful neighborhood full of trash and graffiti, I don’t like it at all. Too many tweekers digging through my trash and letting themselves in my back yard and shed. Not safe at all. "

    "I bought my house 5 years ago. I bought this little house because in San Diego, it is all I can afford. I did not want to be a condo or mobile home owner, I wanted a home. I keep property neat and clean to encourage my neighbors to do the same. I feel safe here, and I believe Cesar Chavez is a good elementary school."

    "I moved here about 5 years ago. As all communities (low/high incomes) we have some problems but in general safety is good and the area is perfectly located (5 minutes to downtown, 8 min to Mission Valley and 15 minutes to the border) therefore restaurants and shopping are closed. There are many market stores with great prices (not vons or albertsons) There are two schools within a mile of my house and two parks where I play soccer in a legue. I never seen any gang fights or anything like that but random things every now and then. Community involvement, graffitti and cleanliness are areas that must improved but counting that this is a highly transti area (corner of 43rd and Gamma) and a block of a mayor market store and freeway entrance I think is reasonable.
